<![CDATA[The intersection of Indonesian culture, Islamic scholarship, and digital technology has given rise to a new paradigm in Qur’anic interpretation, here conceptualized as Cyber-Tafsir Nusantara. This study explores how Indonesia’s rich traditions of tafsir-historically shaped by pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), local wisdom (kearifan lokal), and communal religious practices-are being reimagined in the digital era. Through qualitative analysis of digital learning platforms, online study circles (halaqah daring), and social media-based tafsir communities, this article identifies the emergence of the Digital Santri: a new generation of Indonesian Qur’anic learners who integrate traditional interpretative frameworks with technological fluency. The Digital Santri not only embodies the continuity of tafsir nusantara values-such as contextual interpretation, communal ethics, and cultural rootedness-but also expands them within the dynamics of online interaction, algorithmic mediation, and global connectivity. The findings highlight how digitalization does not erase tradition but transforms it into new cultural expressions of religiosity and intellectual engagement. By framing this transformation within Indonesia’s unique cultural and theological landscape, this research contributes to contemporary debates on digital religion, local epistemology, and the indigenization of Islamic scholarship in the digital age.]]>
