Abstract

Sayyid Qutb’s tafsir, particularly Fi Zilal al-Qur’an, presents a framework of social ethics grounded in tawhid, positioning it as both a spiritual principle and a basis for confronting structural oppression. His analysis of the Qur’anic concepts of mala’ (elite classes) and mustad’afin (the oppressed) offers a critical entry point for understanding class struggle within Islamic thought. This study aims to contextualize Qutb’s discourse on mala’ and mustad’afin by engaging Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, with the goal of constructing a Qur’an-based model of counter-hegemony that responds to contemporary social inequality. Using a qualitative textual approach, the study analyzes key Makkiyah verses interpreted by Qutb through the al-adabi al-ijtima’i method. These interpretations are then integrated with Gramsci’s concepts of ideological control, organic intellectuals, and war of position to assess their relevance in modern social contexts. The findings show that Qutb’s tafsir aligns with Gramscian critical theory in viewing structural inequality as maintained through cultural and ideological mechanisms. The mustad’afin are positioned as morally empowered actors, capable of resisting hegemony through ethical leadership, ideological education, and faith-based collective action. This study affirms that the integration of Qutb’s tafsir with Gramscian analysis offers a socially engaged Qur’anic hermeneutic. It demonstrates the potential of Islamic thought to address systemic injustice through a praxis-oriented framework grounded in divine justice, ethical redistribution, and spiritual resistance.

Abstract

Existing studies on environmental activism and Green Islam in Indonesia largely focus on normative theology, institutional religious responses, or policy frameworks, while neglecting how Qur'anic ecological values are performatively embodied within youth-led digital movements. Moreover, scholarship on the Living Qur'an and Islamic ecotheology has insufficiently examined how theological legitimacy is constructed through digital virality and netizen participation, leaving a gap in understanding the transformation of ecological piety in the digital age. This article presents an in depth analysis of the Pandawara Group, a youth-led environmental movement, through the lenses of the Living Qur'an and Islamic Ecotheology. Employing a qualitative method with a netnographic design, this study analyzes viral content and netizen interactions to explore how theological values such as khalifah (vicegerency), amanah (trust), and the prohibition of fasad (corruption) are performatively expressed. The findings indicate that Pandawara practices what this study terms "Silent Theology" a form of functional reception where the Qur'an is embodied in social praxis rather than verbal preaching. Their actions serve as a "visual exegesis" of Surah Ar-Rum verse 41, creating a visual shock that forces the digital public to confront the reality of anthropogenic destruction. Furthermore, the study reveals a unique phenomenon where netizens act as grantors of theological legitimacy, framing secular environmental activism as a form of high value worship (ibadah). This study contributes to the discourse on Green Islam and Post-Islamism in Indonesia, demonstrating a significant shift from symbolic-ritualistic piety toward a substantive "Ecological Piety" driven by collective action and digital virality.
