<![CDATA[This study investigates how public understanding of Sharia Insurance takes form within the lived rhythms of social media, where influence no longer travels through official channels but through the voices of individuals who hold attention, trust, and cultural fluency. In Indonesia, where formal Islamic finance education often falls short of reaching everyday audiences, TikTok influencers have emerged as unexpected educators. This research follows two such figures and explores how their content reshapes not only what their followers know but how they come to know it. Drawing from a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study examines shifts in comprehension among followers exposed to their content.
