So, by using ethnographic method, this research conduct with the aims to gain comprehensive understanding from native standpoint. ODOJ and KUTUB choosedas research subjects with consideration that both of them are the pioneer in virtual religious communities in Indonesia. The researcher is also take a part in the field of research by joining the communities. The results shows that religious virtual communities can serve as a panopticon for its member. In general they consciously join in the communities to look for “coersive” situationso that they can istiqomah (discipline and consisten) in readingAl Quran and doing qiyamul lail. Becoming a member of community is not easy. They have to strengthen their intention that anything done is because of Allah.
