ABSTRACT In today’s digital age, many Indonesian Muslims utilise social media, such as Facebook, WhatsApp and BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), to express their piety. However, their religious online practices are not devoid of ambiguities, discontents and tensions. The article focuses on these specific consequences of being digitally pious in Indonesia. It examines how riyā’, an established concept in Islamic theology that refers to showing off one’s piety, has gained new relevance in the context of contemporary uses of social media for religious purposes. The article particularly discusses online Qur’an reading groups (ODOJ) and sedekah (charity) activities that utilise social media, and asks how Muslims deal with the problem of riyā’, which is strongly discouraged in Islamic theology, and with the discontent and anxieties it generates. At the same time, it reveals that the responses to the challenge that riyā’ poses vary greatly and that Indonesian Muslims have found different ways to overcome it.

在线虔诚及其不满:重新审视印度尼西亚社交媒体上的伊斯兰焦虑

摘要 在当今的数字时代,许多印度尼西亚穆斯林利用社交媒体,例如 Facebook、WhatsApp 和 BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) 来表达他们的虔诚。然而,他们的宗教网络实践并非没有歧义、不满和紧张。本文重点介绍了在印度尼西亚进行数字化虔诚的这些具体后果。它研究了 riyā',这是伊斯兰神学中一个既定的概念,指的是炫耀自己的虔诚,它如何在当代将社交媒体用于宗教目的的背景下获得新的相关性。文章特别讨论了利用社交媒体的在线古兰经阅读小组 (ODOJ) 和 sedekah(慈善)活动,并询问穆斯林如何处理伊斯兰神学中强烈反对的 riyā' 问题以及不满和焦虑它生成。
