Each of the seven surahs is read one sura in one day according to the existing schedule. There are two focuses of study in this research: 1) how is the practice of reading sab'u al- munjiya>t at Pesantren Putri Al-Mahrusiyah?, and how is the function of reading sab'u al-munjiya>t based on the structural functional paradigm of AR Redcliffe Brown? .
