Abstract

This study examines Qur’anic reading methods in Indonesia, focusing on Kediri, through the framework of Market Islam to investigate how religious authority is reorganized within contemporary Islamic educational markets. Employing a qualitative case-study approach, the research analyzes three Qur’anic learning methods—Jamiati, Al-Faqih, and Yanbu'a—using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and institutional documentation. The findings demonstrate that the circulation of Qur’anic pedagogy depends not only on spiritual legitimacy but also on the interaction between supply-driven authority, embodied in sanad, charismatic religious leadership, and institutional credibility, and demand-driven mechanisms, including standardization, teacher certification, organizational networks, and socially differentiated educational demand. While Jamiati and Al-Faqih remain predominantly supply-driven initiatives developed to address internal pedagogical needs within pesantren, Yanbu'a represents a hybrid configuration that successfully translates sanad-based authority into scalable organizational forms through standardized curricula, formalized instructor training, and extensive inter-pesantren networks. Unlike the dominant Market Islam literature, which largely associates religious markets with urban Muslim middle-class consumerism, the Kediri case demonstrates that the demand for Qur’anic learning methods is also generated through traditional pesantren communities, where religious capital, institutional trust, and collective educational traditions shape pedagogical preferences. This study extends Market Islam scholarship by arguing that the commodification of Qur’anic pedagogy entails not the erosion of religious authority but its organizational reconfiguration through the interaction of charismatic legitimacy, religious capital, and market rationality within contemporary Muslim educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to deeply analyze the construction of the philanthropic culture of the urban Muslim middle class by integrating the Living Qur'an Hadith approach and Social Identity Theory. This qualitative research employs a case study method in South Tangerang City, utilizing in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document studies for data collection. The results reveal that urban modernity does not erode religiosity but rather spawns commodified piety, where religious texts are reinterpreted into institutionalized empowerment philanthropy. Sociologically, the roots of generosity in South Tangerang reflect a strong "cosmopolitan-professional" identity driven by white-collar workers within elite residential ecosystems. Philanthropic practices in this region demand corporate-level transparency and are increasingly shifting toward non-financial volunteerism driven by hobbies and digitalization. It is concluded that Islamic philanthropy in this peri-urban area is not merely a ritual obligation, but a strategic instrument for the middle class to negotiate their social identity, accumulate social capital, and maintain communal cohesion amidst metropolitan alienation

Abstract

The increasing use of digital Qur’an applications has reshaped how Muslims engage with the sacred text in everyday life. This article examines the materiality of the digital Qur’an and explores how technological mediate religious experiences, practices, and perceptions of sacredness among Muslims in Indonesia. Drawing on a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study involved 12 participants from four Indonesian cities: Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Surabaya, and Semarang. Data were collected through interviews and observations of participants’ interactions with digital Qur’an applications, focusing on their experiences of reading, listening to, and engaging with Qur’anic content through digital devices. The findings reveal that digital features, including audio recitations, translation, Qur’anic interpretation, visual, and reading reminders, shape how users incorporate Qur’anic engagement into their daily routines. Digital materiality extends beyond the representation of sacred text on screens, as devices and application interfaces influence users’ embodied practices, accessibility, and perceptions of religious authority. Although digital applications facilitate more flexible engagement with the Qur’an, users continue to negotiate established norms of reverence and appropriate conduct when interacting with the sacred text through digital media. The article argues that digitalization does not simply replace conventional Qur’anic practices but reconfigures the relationship between material forms, religious experiences, and everyday Muslim practices in contemporary Indonesia.
