Abstract
A central tenet of Islamic practice holds that reading the Qurʾan is an act of devotion
that will be rewarded by Allah. Although this belief is widespread in Indonesia, reading
the Qurʾan has traditionally been conducted in religiously designated spaces, such as
Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), rather than shared public spaces. Since 2013, this
pattern has changed. Muslims visibly reciting the Qurʾan have now become common,
from verandas of campus mosques, to buses, trains, and public squares.
