Abstract

Objective: This study examines the paradigm shift in the reception of the Qur’an in Indonesia through epistemological and phenomenological perspectives, explaining its transformation from an object of interpretation into a subject of social performativity. Theoretical framework: The study integrates epistemology and phenomenology to analyze shifts in religious authority, meaning construction, and the lived experience of Qur’anic reception in Indonesian society. Literature review: Previous Living Qur’an studies mainly provide descriptive phenomenological accounts while overlooking epistemological dimensions. This study addresses that gap by linking reception practices with the transformation of religious knowledge. Method: A qualitative-philosophical approach is employed, combining epistemological inquiry and phenomenological analysis to interpret the transformation of Qur’anic reception. Results: The findings demonstrate three major transformations in the reception of the Qur’an in Indonesia. First, religious authority has shifted from textual interpretation toward subjective and communal experiences based on the perceived efficacy of Qur’anic practices. Second, phenomenologically, these practices reflect an internalization of meaning that extends beyond the linguistic content of the Qur’anic text. Third, these developments have produced a new "Epistemology of Reception," in which the Qur’an functions as an active social agent shaping religious and public life within Indonesian society. Implications: The study enriches Living Qur’an scholarship by offering an integrated framework for understanding the dynamic interaction between sacred texts and contemporary sociocultural contexts. Novelty: This study introduces the concept of "Epistemology of Reception," reconceptualizing the Qur’an as an active social force rather than merely an object of textual interpretation.

Abstract

Justice (al-‘adl) constitutes the moral core of the Qur’an; however, its interpretation within contemporary Islamic legal discourse has often stagnated due to the dichotomy between rigid textualism and unrestrained contextualism. This study aims to reconstruct the concept of justice through the framework of Noetic Legal Methodology, specifically the Spiral-Triadic Model. Employing a trans-epistemological library-based approach, the study integrates Toshihiko Izutsu’s semantic analysis and Mohammed Arkoun’s semiotic critique within a circular analytical movement (the Demystificatory Circular Process). The findings reveal three fundamental insights. First, at the bayani (textual) level, Izutsu’s semantics uncovers that ‘adl is not merely a legal concept but an ontological principle of balance (mizan) that underpins the Qur’anic Weltanschauung. Second, at the burhani (contextual) level, Arkoun’s critique of reason demystifies historical distortions, demonstrating how the meaning of justice has frequently been appropriated by power structures to sustain the status quo. Third, at the ‘irfani (synthetic) level, the integration of these approaches produces the notion of “liberative justice,” understood as a dynamic movement aimed at restoring social equilibrium guided by transcendental values. This study concludes that the proposed noetic synthesis offers a viable resolution to the methodological impasse in Qur’anic interpretation, repositioning justice as an emancipatory instrument relevant to contemporary humanity.
