Abstract

The rapid development of social media, especially Instagram, has given rise to new forms of Qur'anic interpretation that utilize visual power, popular narratives, and digital delivery models. This article critically analyzes how the @Quranreview account frames Qur'anic verses as a discourse of resistance against injustice through the representation of Qur'anic figures such as Qarun, Pharaoh, and Moses. Based on three posts that explicitly address issues of corruption, abuse of power, and structural injustice, this study examines the construction of this discourse using a qualitative approach with Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis. The results of the study show that, at the textual level, these accounts utilize persuasive language, moral metaphors, and strong visual designs to emphasize the opposition between the perpetrators of injustice and the victims of oppression. At the level of discourse practice, content production is closely related to the dynamics of digital media that encourage visual creativity, responsiveness to current political issues, and audience consumption patterns oriented towards moral narratives. Meanwhile, at the level of social practice, the discourse constructed reflects Indonesia's socio-political conditions, which are characterized by weakening public trust, polarization, and high sensitivity to open criticism. Overall, this study finds that @Quranreview functions as a form of symbolic resistance that uses the authority of sacred texts to challenge the narrative of power and strengthen the ethical awareness of society in the digital space.
