<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the reaction of the Lirboyo Islamic Boarding School community to the Xpose Uncensored Trans7 program which is considered offensive to the honor of the Islamic boarding school, as well as explain how the values of Living Qur'an shape the response pattern of students, ustadz, and kiai. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving in-depth interviews with several students, ustadz, and kiai, as well as observation of the social context of the pesantren. The analysis technique was carried out through data reduction, thematic categorization, and interpretation based on the framework of the Living Qur'an and media representation analysis. The results of the study show that the response of the pesantren community is not only in the form of discomfort to the show, but also an expression of the values of manners, prudence, and respect for scholars who are part of the cultural practice of the Qur'an. Students tend to show a defensive attitude based on manners, ustadz emphasizes the importance of tabayyun principles and media thoroughness, while kiai responds with wisdom and invitation to islah. Trans7's apology was well received, but it was considered effective only if it was followed by changes in content production ethics. This study concludes that the reaction of the pesantren community is a tangible manifestation of the Living Qur'an, where Qur'anic values are not only memorized, but direct the way the pesantren community interprets honor, forms cultural sensitivity, and responds to modern media representations.]]>
