Objective: This study aims to criticize the interpretation of the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) in the scientific work of students of Qur'an and Tafsir in Indonesia, focusing on the suitability of the interpretation method used, the relevance of the verses of the Qur'an as a solution, and the contribution of interpretation to the challenges of modern digital life. Theoretical framework: This study departs from the understanding that the FoMO phenomenon is not only a psychological problem, but can also be studied through a spiritual-religious approach in the Qur'an, so it is necessary to have an interpretive framework that can respond to contemporary issues. Literature review: This study highlights the limitations of the literature linking psychological phenomena such as FoMO with the study of interpretation, as well as the importance of a cross-disciplinary approach in presenting solutions based on Qur'anic values to modern digital issues. Method: This study uses a content analysis method on various scientific works that have been published by students, especially those who try to interpret FoMO through the Qur'an interpretation approach. Results: show that despite attempts to link FoMO to the teachings of the Qur'an, most scientific works have not fully succeeded in selecting relevant verses and understanding the social context of the phenomenon in depth. Implications: from these findings is the importance of updating the approach in the study of interpretation, by integrating psychological and sociological perspectives to produce a more contextual and applicative interpretation. Novelty: lies in his attempt to criticize and recommend a multidisciplinary approach to the interpretation of the Qur'an to modern psychological phenomena, thus opening up space for the development of interpretive studies that are more relevant to the realities of contemporary life.
