Abstract

This article examines the book Tafsīr al-Ibrīz, written by KH Bisri Mustofa, a prominent Javanese exegesis. The book has been re-read and interpreted orally by his son, Gus Mus (KH Ahmad Mustofa Bisri), on his YouTube channel. This study highlights a new tradition in the digital era where Qur'anic exegesis is transmitted and transformed through both written texts and oral interpretations. This research employs a qualitative approach, using primary data from the official YouTube Channel of Gus Mus and secondary data from relevant scholarly literature. Document analysis and descriptive-analytic methods reveal a significant paradigm shift between the written and oral exegesis. Specifically, gender issues such as polygamy and women's leadership, which are presented with a gender-biased perspective in the written Tafsīr al-Ibrīz, are reinterpreted by Gus Mus with a focus on gender equality. This transformation is influenced by the socio-cultural context, Gus Mus's educational background, and the changing audience of the oral exegesis. The study incorporates gender equality theory, highlighting forms of gender inequality like marginalization, subordination, stereotyping, violence, and double burden. The findings suggest that Gus Mus's oral exegesis reflects an egalitarian interpretation, contrasting with the traditional views in Tafsīr al-Ibrīz, thus promoting fair treatment for both women and men. This research contributes to the discourse on gender and Qur'anic exegesis by demonstrating the dynamic nature of oral interpretation in the Indonesian pesantren context and its impact on advancing gender equality in Islamic thought.

Abstract

The Messawe tradition in Saiyyang Pattuqduq To Tammaq Mangayi in Mandar, West Sulawesi, represents an aesthetic reception of the Qur’an that involves a khatam ceremony with local cultural influences. This research aims to understand how this tradition functions as an expression of the collective identity of the Mandar people and the relationship between the Qur’anic text and the cultural practices. The research employs a qualitative methodology, including participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings indicate that first, this tradition reflects an aesthetic reception of the Qur’an that focuses not only on recitation but also on cultural and spiritual symbolism; second, the Messawe procession integrates local cultural elements with religious reverence, strengthening the collective identity of the Mandar community; third, this tradition demonstrates how sacred texts are responded to creatively and aesthetically, creating a relationship between religion and culture. The contribution of this research lies in a more holistic understanding of the role of the Qur’an in the social and cultural life of Muslims in Indonesia.

Abstract

The use of social media to convey religious texts does not necessarily mean that there is a contextualization of the understanding of the religious context according to contemporary reasoning. This study argues that hadiths concerning women’s subordination have generated more textual and discriminatory interpretations when represented on social media, especially Instagram. Employing critical discourse analysis (CDA) and a representational framework, this study examines three main points: (a) the hadith representation of women in classical literature, (b) the form of subordinate representation of women on Instagram, (c) the consequent identity formation of women through hadith interpretations on Instagram discourses. This study reveals that social media functions as a double-edged sword in contemporary Islamic discourse. It ostensibly provides opportunities for progressive reinterpretations of religious texts, but, on the other hand, the findings indicate it has paradoxically become a powerful ideological weapon to maintain the status quo of patriarchal norms through subordination towards women. Consequently, the reductive portrayals of women’s roles on Instagram still exist even though modern reality has significantly changed compared to 15 centuries ago when the Prophet Muhammad lived. Through discursive framing and algorithmic amplification, Instagram increasingly contributes to the legitimization of discrimination against women across both the private and public spheres.
