Abstract

This article views that technology plays an integral role in the social impacts of religious information, instead of being a threat to the religion itself. That is, technology is present in religious life, and is increasingly giving social impacts. Technology offers a new nuance in today's modern life in almost every aspect of human life. Sometimes, technology serves as a primary tool that assists us in our daily lives, and in some other time, it only serves as a supporting tool. As an important part of people's lives, al-Qur'an exegesis in its development is in separable from technology. This article provides evidences on religion's presence in the society, illustrated through the important roles of technology in al-Quran exegesis. Technology supports the presence of religion in millennial periods and not vice versa. This role of technology still serves only as a supporting system or secondary role. This can be seen in the Tafsir Ilmi Kementrian Agama (Tafsir Ilmi compiled by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs). Furthermore, this argument is a valid proof of the novelty of technology's roles in the development of religious materials in millennial era.
