Abstract

The concept of religion as it is globally understood today is a modern Western construction that is not universal. Nevertheless, it has been widely applied to non-Western cultures without adequate consideration of their historical and epistemological contexts. The singular category of “world religions” often oversimplifies highly diverse belief systems and generates epistemic bias, as seen in the labeling of Buddhism in Japan and Hinduism in India. This study aims to examine the conceptual origins of religion as a Western category, trace its application within colonial contexts, and analyze how non-Western cultures respond to the dominance of this definition. The research employs a critical qualitative approach through a historical-critical literature review and critical discourse analysis, framed by social constructionist and postcolonial theories. Japan and India are purposively selected as case studies. The findings reveal that non-Western societies are not merely passive recipients of the Western category of religion, but actively engage in resistance, adaptation, and the reconstruction of meaning based on their local contexts. This research affirms that religion is not a neutral or universal concept, but a historically and politically produced category that is continuously negotiated.

Abstract

This study examines the Living Qur’an phenomenon and its role in shaping religious piety among elderly congregants in two religious groups in Kediri, East Java, Indonesia: Majelis Dzikrul Ghofilin and Sema’an Al-Qur’an Jantiko Matab. The Living Qur’an concept, as manifested in elderly congregations, represents the embodied and contextual practice of Qur’anic teachings in daily life, fundamentally contributing to individual and collective piety. Through fieldwork utilizing a qualitative methodology informed by Talal Asad’s concept of “discursive tradition,” this research employs participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentary analysis. The anthropological analysis focuses on identifying patterns in Living Qur’an practices among elderly congregants, with particular attention to symbolic reception and sensory engagement in religious practices. The research reveals distinctive manifestations of the Living Qur’an in each group. Majelis Dzikrul Ghofilin centers its practice on dhikr (divine remembrance), supplications, and contemplative engagement with Qur’anic verses, fostering spiritual connectivity and emotional resilience. In contrast, Sema’an Al-Qur’an Jantiko Matab emphasizes sustained communal Qur’anic recitation from dawn to nightfall, cultivating devotional practice through extended engagement with sacred text. These complementary approaches demonstrate the versatility of Living Qur’an implementations in enhancing elderly congregants’ spiritual well-being. This study contributes to the scholarly discourse on the Living Qur’an among elderly populations, presenting novel insights into Qur’anic reception and pietistic practices. Furthermore, it establishes a theoretical foundation for understanding religion’s role in shaping elderly worldviews while advancing methodological approaches to studying Qur’anic reception in Muslim communities.
