Abstract

Living Qur’an in the context of flexing culture becomes an intriguing phenomenon when religious practice intersects with a lifestyle of displaying wealth and social status. In Madurese society, this condition presents both tensions and opportunities between strong religious traditions and the currents of modern popular culture. This study aims to examine how the practice of Living Qur’an functions as a reinforcement of religious values amid the widespread culture of flexing in Madurese society. In addition, this study seeks to analyze the role of Qur’anic values in shaping social awareness that is critical of consumptive behavior and excessive pursuit of social recognition. The research method employed is qualitative with a case study approach through observation, interviews, and analysis of religious documents as well as the social practices of the community. The findings indicate that Living Qur’an can serve as a foundation for the internalization of the values of simplicity, gratitude, and social concern, which counterbalance the impulse to flex in everyday life. The practices of reciting, studying, and implementing the Qur’an within pesantren environments and Madurese families act as a moral bulwark that guides more proportional patterns of consumption and social interaction. Nevertheless, flexing culture facilitated by social media continues to exert a significant influence, especially on the younger generation, resulting in a tension between religious values and the desire for visibility in digital public spaces. This study also identifies a gap in previous research, which has rarely linked Living Qur’an studies with the phenomenon of flexing in a specific manner within the context of Madurese society, thereby offering a new contribution to the enrichment of Qur’anic and contemporary cultural studies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relevance of social ethics values in Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir) as a foundation for realizing an inclusive society in Indonesia facing the Society 5.0 era, with a focus on the challenge of digital inequality. Employing a qualitative approach with the thematic interpretation method (al-tafsir al-maudhu'i), this research analyzes verses on social ethics from classical, contemporary, and Nusantara tafsir works, while also examining empirical data on digital inequality among informal workers in Maluku Province. The findings reveal that the values of 'adl (justice), rahmah (compassion), musāwah (equality), and the prohibitions of fahsya (abomination) and munkar (evil) possess fundamental relevance in responding to digital inequality experienced by informal workers in rural areas, the primary sector, older generations, and those with low education levels. The integration of these values produces an ethical framework demanding digital transformation policies that favor vulnerable groups through infrastructure equalization, targeted digital literacy programs, and ethical artificial intelligence governance. This research contributes to the development of contextual tafsir studies and the formulation of equitable digital transformation policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Nationalism, as an expression of love for one’s homeland, is a natural human disposition and an integral part of Islamic teachings that aligns with one’s devotion to religion. This value has inspired scholars, clerics, and religious figures to resist colonialism through a spirit of struggle intertwined with Islamic principles. This study aims to explore the values of nationalism contained in QS. At-Taubah verse 122 and analyze the harmony of these values with the representation of patriotic spirit in several scenes of the anime Naruto. Another objective is to emphasize that a sense of nationalism can grow through understanding both religious teachings and popular culture that share similar moral values. The research employs a library research approach with a content analysis method. Data were collected through documentary techniques using written sources such as Qur’anic exegesis, Islamic literature, and popular media relevant to the theme of nationalism. The results indicate that QS. At-Taubah verse 122 embodies the value of nationalism, manifested through the call to deepen knowledge as a form of responsibility toward the community and the nation. This value parallels the spirit of Naruto characters who strive for peace and the progress of their village. The study identifies a research gap in previous works that seldom connect Islamic values with Japanese popular culture. This research contributes new insights by bridging religious values and popular media as tools for fostering nationalism in the era of globalization.
