Abstract

Living Qur'an scholarship has largely focused on locally bounded communities, whereas digital religion studies have paid limited attention to the reception of sacred texts in online environments. This article examines the One Day One Juz (ODOJ) community in Indonesia as a digital living Qur'an phenomenon, investigating how digitally mediated Qur'anic recitation reshapes religious practice, communal identity, and collective social action. Using a hybrid digital ethnographic approach, the study combines participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and platform document analysis, with data analysed thematically through the proposed Digital Living Qur'an (DLQ) framework. The findings demonstrate that ODOJ institutionalises daily Qur'anic recitation through digital peer accountability, extends Qur'anic practice across interconnected digital platforms, constructs a distinctive symbolic ecosystem, and mobilises nationwide social action despite tensions between ikhlāṣ and riyāʾ, quantity and quality, and democratisation and standardisation. The study argues that these dynamics cannot be fully explained by either conventional Living Qur'an scholarship or digital religion theory alone. It therefore proposes Digital Living Qur'an (DLQ) as a new analytical framework that integrates both perspectives to explain the reception of the Qur'an in digitally mediated communities. Beyond Indonesia, this framework offers a transferable model for analysing comparable digital scripture communities across the Muslim world.

Abstract

Official Qur’an translations shape public understanding of theologically sensitive terms, and jihād is among the most contested of them. This study identifies the foreignization and domestication strategies applied to jihād verses in Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahannya Edisi Penyempurnaan 2019 (QT 2019) and explains the ideological orientation underlying them. Using a qualitative descriptive-interpretive design, 28 verses containing the root j-h-d were collected from QT 2019 and its 2002 predecessor through document analysis, then analysed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, with each rendering and its paratext coded by Venuti’s (1995) criteria as operationalised through Newmark (1988), compared diachronically, and verified by independent double coding and source triangulation. Lexical foreignization predominates in 20 of 28 verses but is consistently moderated by paratextual domestication, a pattern termed moderated foreignization. Three shift patterns emerge: domestication where militaristic misreading is likely, foreignization where the term had been over-domesticated, and stability in the majority. No verse renders jihād as perang (war) or pembunuhan (killing), which indicates an ideological tendency toward wasaṭiyyah (Islamic moderation). Theoretically, the study proposes paratextual domestication, combinative domestication, and moderated foreignization as extensions of Venuti’s binary framework.
