Abstract

Abstract In the digital age, the Quran doesn’t only live in the Muslim society, but also in the virtual space. In the context of Indonesia, it has sufficiently developed. Some virtual receptions of the Quran have emerged with their particular appearance which is relatively different from its offline. “Quran Review” is the instance which claims itself as a Quranic Start-Up utilizing digital platforms to encourage and make millennial Muslim closer to the Quran. Since 2019, “Quran Review” has reached 319k followers on Instagram and provided various online agenda. In addition to virtually promoting the Quran by interpreting verses, it also proposed some paid programs. Despite scholars have discussed the Quran and social media in the mode of interpretation and aesthetic reception, little attention has been paid to the reception linked closely to business. In order to contribute to the existing studies, this article aims to explore that one and capture a recent development of Quranic reception in the virtual space through “Quran Review”. By mean of netnography and interview methods, we argue that in digital platforms the Quran is approached in a millennial and dynamic way—involving pop culture and current issues—discussed popularly, and engaged in an undoubtedly lucrative way. Keywords: The Quran, Digital Platform, Millennial, Lucrative, Quran Review.

Abstract

In recent years, women have played an important role in the context of religious authority in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia and Malaysia. In addition, women's empowerment has also become one of the priority issues of several Islamic activists, groups, and Muslimah-based Islamic organizations. In this case, two women's Islamic media platforms that are massive in fighting for women's issues, gender equality, and inclusive Islamic discourse, namely Muslimah Reformis and Sisters in Islam. Furthermore, this research explores the role of women's religious authority and women's empowerment in Indonesia and Malaysia through the activism of women Muslimah Reformis (MR) from Indonesia and Sisters in Islam (SIS) from Malaysia. Both focus on fighting for gender equality, and actively voice inclusive Islamic discourse. Through netnography and interviews, this research shows that Muslimah Reformis and Sisters in Islam play an important role as agents of change in women's activism, producing ideas about women's empowerment, and efforts to fight for gender equality. The findings of this study demonstrate that Muslimah Reformis and Sisters in Islam not only serve as platforms for disseminating ideas but also function as instruments for advancing counter-narratives (battle of ideas) within digital spaces at critical moments. Simultaneously, they educate Muslim women that the Quran and hadith Islam’s foundational texts should be interpreted contextually rather than rigidly or literally, thereby preventing adherence to conservative and inflexible ideologies. Together, these organizations reframe Islamic teachings by highlighting their inherent support for gender equality and humanistic values, thereby providing Muslim women with a more inclusive and progressive framework for engaging with modern life.
