Abstract

This article examines kyai authority in nonformal Qur'anic education by focusing on how religious leaders obtain and exercise interpretive authority through their capacity to enliven the Qur'an according to community needs in Pelangwot Village, Lamongan, East Java. The study addresses two research questions: (1) what are the forms of kyai authority in nonformal educational contexts? (2) why do these kyai obtain authority in their community? Employing a qualitative case-study design, the research gathered data through participant observation in TPQ learning sessions and mau'izhah forums, semi-structured interviews with teachers, kyai, and students, and analysis of institutional documents and teaching references. Data were analyzed using thematic coding to identify recurring patterns. Findings reveal two key dimensions. First, the forms of kyai authority in nonformal settings are predominantly socio-cultural, rooted in teacher-student transmission chains and community recognition rather than formal institutional structures. Kyai authority operates through teacher-student knowledge transmission, tolerates interpretive differences to maintain harmony, and remains fragmented across institutions. Second, kyai obtain their authority through the continuous labor of enlivening the Qur'an—selectively mobilizing established verses and hadith including "khairukum man ta'allam al-Qur'āna wa 'allamahu," QS Āli 'Imrān 3:18, QS az-Zumar 39:9, and QS al-'Alaq 96:1-5 as motivational and legitimizing devices in daily pedagogical practice. The article argues that kyai authority in nonformal settings is assembled through persistent community-building labor that translates scriptural meanings into locally relevant moral guidance. This contributes to scholarship on Islamic religious authority by demonstrating how authority emerges not from formal credentials but from the ongoing work of making sacred texts alive for community needs.

Abstract

This study highlights the differences in the Qur’anic rasm writing system between a manuscript from Bangkalan and the Indonesian Standard Mushaf (MSI). This topic is significant because the manuscript tradition in the Indonesian archipelago does not fully adhere to the rules of rasm ʿUthmānī as formulated by Abu Amr al-Dānī, but instead displays variations that reflect local identity. The main objective of this research is to identify the forms of variation, evaluate the consistency of rasm application in the Bangkalan manuscript, and situate it within the broader framework of Qur’anic transmission in Indonesia. The study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, using descriptive-comparative analysis of Sūrat al-Baqarah as the sample text. The findings reveal notable differences between the Bangkalan manuscript and MSI, particularly in the use of alif in specific words and the application of the ḥadẓf rule, which do not fully conform to the established standard. These variations indicate that Nusantara manuscripts function not only as vessels for transmitting the sacred text but also as cultural artifacts that embody the dynamics of codicology, philology, and the local history of Qur’anic copying. The study underscores the importance of preserving and examining Nusantara Qur’anic manuscripts, both as valuable academic resources and as an Islamic intellectual heritage that contributes to understanding the diversity of rasm traditions beyond the ʿUthmānī standard.
