This article examines the construction of interpretive politics within the narrative of the caliphate state disseminated through Buletin Dakwah Kaffah on Facebook. The study aims to analyze how Qur’anic verses related to leadership and governance are interpreted, represented, and politicized in the digital sphere. Employing a thematic (maudhu‘i) exegetical approach combined with Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, the research explores textual structures, discursive practices, and broader social contexts. The primary data consist of Facebook posts and official online publications of Buletin Dakwah Kaffah, analyzed through a qualitative-descriptive framework. The findings reveal that the caliphate narrative is constructed through ideological simplification, binary opposition between Islam and the modern nation-state, and normative language asserting the exclusivity of a singular political system. Social media functions not merely as a channel of dissemination but as a space for producing alternative interpretive authority shaped by digital virality and networked communication. The study concludes that interpretive politics in the digital era requires methodological reconstruction grounded in maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, digital literacy, and contextual engagement with contemporary nationhood to sustain justice-oriented and socially constructive religious discourse.
