Reception Of the Quran on social media: A Case Study on The Post “K.D.R.T. In Posting?” On The Instagram Account @Quran Review

Abstract

This research analyzes the reception of the Al-Qur'an in uploads from the Instagram account @quranreview entitled "K.D.R.T. di Posting?” which refers to QS. an-Nisā' verse 34. The aim of this research is to reveal how this account conveys a simple interpretation of the verses of the Koran but remains relevant to modern issues, especially related to domestic violence (KDRT). Using a qualitative approach with a living Qur'an method based on library research, this study utilizes discourse and text analysis to process data. Research findings show that the @quranreview account adopts two types of Al-Qur'an reception, namely exegetical and functional reception. Exegetical reception is displayed through interpretation of verses which are presented in a straightforward manner and supported by hadith to reinforce understanding. Meanwhile, the functional reception focuses on the informative aspect, namely conveying a moral message that emphasizes harmony between Al-Qur'an values and humanitarian principles in the context of domestic violence. With an attractive visual presentation and language style that is close to modern audiences, this account has succeeded in becoming a bridge of understanding between religious teachings and daily activities, especially for the millennial generation. This research emphasizes the important role of digital media as a da'wah tool in expanding the understanding and application of the Koran in the technological era.
