<![CDATA[This article discusses the epistemology of the Living Qur’an in da’wah by placing the Qur’an not only as a normative text to be interpreted, but also as a revelation that is received, responded to, practiced, and institutionalized in the social life of the community. In the development of contemporary Qur’anic studies in Indonesia, the Living Qur’an has developed into an important field of study that captures the reception, performativity, transmission, and social transformation based on the presence of the Qur’an in the living space of society. The main problem of this article is how the epistemological foundation of the Living Qur’an can be used as a theoretical and practical basis for dialogical, contextual, and transformative da’wah. This research uses a qualitative approach based on a literature study with a descriptive-critical analysis of the literature on the Living Qur’an, anthropology of the Qur’an, reception of the holy book, and transformative da’wah. This article argues that the epistemology of the Living Qur’an in da’wah is built on an integrative relationship between revelation as a normative horizon, social reality as an arena for the manifestation of Qur’anic values, and the subject of da'wah as a mediator of transformation. Within this framework, da’wah is not simply understood as the transmission of a religious message, but also as a critical reading of how society brings the Qur’an to life, an evaluation of its practical orientation, and the reinforcement of Qur’anic values in personal and social life. Thus, the Living Qur’an provides an epistemological basis for the development of empirical, reflective, corrective, and transformative da’wah.]]>
