Abstract

Uncontrolled digital religious content has given rise to the phenomenon of shallow Quranic literacy among educated Muslims. Quranic studies in Islamic higher education institutions are generally still textual-classical and have not systematically responded to the
challenges of massive verse-based misinformation circulating on social media. On the other hand, efforts to integrate digital literacy into Quranic learning are still carried out partially and are not based on a solid interpretation epistemology. This study aims to design an Integrative Quranic Ulumul Curriculum framework that bridges the classical interpretation tradition with digital media literacy competencies systematically. Through library research methods with
content analysis approaches and theoretical synthesis of 20 reputable journal articles from the Scopus and Sinta databases (2015–2024), this study identifies five components of an integrative
curriculum constructed on the theoretical foundations of Knowles' andragogy (1980), Jacobson and Mackey's metaliteracy (2011), and Gadamer's hermeneutics (2004). The literature selection process followed the PRISMA 2020 protocol, from a total of 143 articles
screened to 20 final articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study indicate that the integration of these two domains is not only possible but also academically and socially urgent in the context of the threat of Quranic misinformation in Indonesia's digital space. The
novelty of this research lies in the Integrative Ulumul Qur'an Curriculum Model as a curricular framework that simultaneously strengthens mastery of the tradition of interpretation and builds critical competence regarding Quranic content in the digital space
