Abstract

Purpose - This study investigates how Qur'anic exegesis (tafsīr) is produced, disseminated, and legitimized in the digital sphere by examining the interaction among religious authority, audience participation, and algorithmic mediation across individual and collective digital platforms. Design/methodology/approach - A qualitative digital content analysis was conducted on 25 tafsīr contents selected through purposive sampling from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Islamic websites. Data were analyzed using thematic and descriptive-analytical methods. The study employs Heidi Campbell's Digital Religion, Max Weber's theory of authority, and Stig Hjarvard's mediatization of religion as analytical frameworks. Findings - The findings reveal two dominant models of digital tafsīr dissemination. Individual platforms rely primarily on charismatic religious figures as sources of legitimacy, while collective platforms derive authority from institutional credibility and editorial mechanisms. Audience participation extends beyond content consumption to content redistribution and reinterpretation, positioning users as prosumers. Furthermore, platform algorithms significantly influence content visibility, popularity, and patterns of fragmented religious consumption. The study demonstrates that digital tafsīr operates within a hybrid ecosystem where traditional, charismatic, and legal-rational forms of authority interact and coexist. Research implications/limitations - The study is limited to 25 digital tafsīr samples and focuses primarily on Indonesian digital platforms. Consequently, the findings may not fully represent broader global Muslim digital environments. Future studies may employ larger datasets and comparative cross-national approaches. Originality/value - This study contributes to the growing field of digital tafsīr by integrating religious authority, audience participation, and algorithmic mediation into a single analytical framework. It highlights algorithms as influential socio-technical actors in shaping the visibility, legitimacy, and circulation of Qur'anic interpretation in contemporary digital culture.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation model of spiritual mindfulness in strengthening adolescent mental health within Islamic secondary schools. The research employs a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design conducted at two Islamic high schools in Gresik, Indonesia. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically using iterative and comparative procedures. The findings reveal two distinct yet complementary models of spiritual mindfulness implementation. The first model, identified as a ritual-collective approach, emphasizes structured and consistent communal religious practices such as dhikr, congregational prayer, and spiritual habituation to create emotional stability prior to academic activities. The second model, categorized as a reflective-dialogical approach, integrates mentoring programs and spiritual counseling sessions that facilitate cognitive reappraisal and personal meaning-making processes among students. Drawing upon emotion regulation theory and religious coping frameworks, the study demonstrates that spiritual mindfulness functions as a form of religious cognitive reappraisal that enhances emotional regulation, resilience, and psychological well-being among adolescents. From a Sufi perspective, these practices correspond to the concepts of muraqabah, muhasabah, and tazkiyat al-nafs, which cultivate self-awareness and inner tranquility. The novelty of this research lies in proposing an integrative model of spiritual mindfulness rooted in Islamic epistemology while remaining theoretically coherent with contemporary psychological frameworks, offering a preventive strategy for adolescent mental health development in Islamic educational institutions.
