Abstract
The tradition of reciting Qashidah Burdah during the COVID-19 pandemic which was carried out for Communities Across the City of Jambi, where this activity was also carried out for people who were sick and moved to a new house. The difference that is meant here lies in the more specific and focused purpose of the implementation, namely to cure disease and reject the chain of custody. This study uses quantitative methods through a cross sectional approach through survey methods, and interviews which aim to determine the values that affect the community across the city of Jambi during the covid-19 pandemic. The population includes 100 people from Jambi City consisting of religious leaders, youth, and communities across the city of Jambi. The technique used is purposive sampling. The data collection tool is a scale. This indicates that the tradition of reading Qashidah Burdah which is carried out in the Seberang Jambi City area has specific meanings and functions that cannot be found in other areas. The people of Seberang Jambi City interpret the Qashidah Burdah tradition as an alternative medicine medium which is carried out when various other medical media (medical and shamans) are unable to provide healing and get the intercession of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. In addition, the tradition of reading Qashidah Burdah during the COVID-19 pandemic also has several values- namely socio-economic values (this treatment media is much cheaper than various other medical media), socio-religious values (can strengthen monotheism, fortitude, and trust in Allah SWT), and socio-cultural values, namely as a medium for preserving the attitude of mutual help. helping, kinship, and social solidarity.
