N2  - This dissertation examines the Qur?anic movement and the
active mobility of urban Muslim women, taking the case of ?Gerakan
Ayo Mengaji? (GERAMI) in Jambi City. GERAMI is a movement that
promotes Al-Qur?an learning based in mosques within the community,
particularly among women (mothers). While most pengajian groups
position women in a receptive role as recipients of knowledge,
GERAMI emphasizes active participation, contribution, and social
mobility of women in the public sphere. Given the relatively limited
focus of studies on women's religious movements on personal piety,
this dissertation offers a broader perspective by exploring the diverse
expressions of women in the Al-Qur'an movement, which does not
make individual piety its main focus. This dissertation seeks to answer
the questions about the background and development of GERAMI in
relation to women?s activism, and the process of women's agency in
relation to their efforts to claim public space. It also explains their
reason for using Qur?anic tradition as a tool to shape their religious
identity.
Employing ethnographic methods, this dissertation aims to
understand the dynamics of women?s activism in the context of the
emergence and development of GERAMI in Jambi City. Research
data were collected through observation and participation in activities
at preparatory classes, mosques, and other informal activities; as well
as interviews with 19 informants, including initiators, volunteers, and
supporting informants. Supporting data were obtained from the
collection of photo documentation, membership archives, and social
media content. The data were then analysed in depth using the
concepts of piety agency and Muslim subjectivity as a theoretical
framework.
This research identifies several main findings. First, the
establishment of GERAMI as a Qur?anic movement demonstrates that
the emergence of a religious movement is not always related to the
collectivity of agents and religious authority. The movement was initiated by a single urban Muslim woman without formal religious
education background. Nonetheless, the success of this movement is
supported by the significant capital possessed by this woman, such as
economic, cultural, and social capital. Second, as a response to the
identity crisis, GERAMI provides an alternative space for urban
Muslim women who face domestic obstacles in accessing public space
amidst the urban modernity. Active participation in the movement not
only facilitates their transition from domestic to public religious roles,
but also serves as a strategic mechanism for gaining and articulating
agency. In this context, individual capabilities and modalities
influence the articulation of individual agency within the Qur?anic
movement. Third, by choosing the Qur?anic movement, women can
create a space to express and shape their religious identity as ideal
Muslims - which they understand as a balance between the worldly
and the hereafter. Beyond accessibility and affordability, the
theological status of the Al-Qur?an as a sacred text crucially
establishes it as a central symbol of individual piety expression and
the shaping of their religious identity. Consequently, GERAMI serves
as a strategy for women in balancing social aspirations in the public
space with obedience to religious teachings. This movement presents
a dual arena of expression for women, namely public participation as
well as the articulation of pious agency as the formation of their
religious identity.
