Abstract: This paper focuses on the relation between Islam, ethnicity and the use of social media among Sundanese people, using the construction of identity approach. The object of the study is the translation of the Qur’an in Sundanese which posted to revive Muslim interests through the mobile application Facebook. My focus is one of social groups on Facebook, Pustaka Sunda, which already discussed the Sundanese translation of the Qur’an since 2016. This study shows that the emerging of new literacy of media culture through media technologies is creating structural changes of religious practices within society, including the reading of the Qur’an and its Sundanese translation on social media. The reading of the Sundanese translation of the Qur’an through social media is more stronger than before especially when it relates to the issue of ethnic identity. It is a part of an effort to affirm the closeness of Islam and Sundanese culture. The group of Pustaka Sunda or Sundanese literature as one of the largest Sundanese groups shows the effort to affirm their Islamic identity and culture in the form of strengthening of Islamic literacy through Sundanese translation of the Qur’an.
