ABSTRACT The article describes the latest developments of Islamic charities and their role as major non-state actors in Indonesia's field of social welfare. It considers debates about the practices of Islamic charity in colonial and post-colonial times when zakat (obligatory almsgiving) was conceptualized as social welfare and as a tool for social justice or as an instrument to implement the post-colonial state's development goals. We examine the contemporary popularity of sedekah (voluntary almsgiving) among Indonesian middle-class Muslims and the rise of Islamic charities that specialize in sedekah programmes. These charities use social media to document their activities and to raise funds, and have changed the discourse of almsgiving. We argue that the temporal logic of acceleration increasingly informs the field of social welfare in Indonesia today. Islamic charities display their efficiency, transparency, and the material rewards that sedekah practices bring to donors. Today, Islamic charity is no longer primarily associated with social welfare and social justice but increasingly with economic gain. Accordingly, charities are concerned with accelerating their aid and its mediation, emphasizing immediacy in order to appeal to donors who demand a quick, unbureaucratic conversion of donations into concrete help, and an immediate material and spiritual return on their ‘investment’.

加速印度尼西亚的伊斯兰慈善事业：天课、sedekah 和社交媒体的即时性

摘要 本文描述了伊斯兰慈善机构的最新发展及其作为印度尼西亚社会福利领域主要非国家行为者的作用。它考虑了关于殖民和后殖民时代伊斯兰慈善实践的辩论，当时天课（强制性施舍）被概念化为社会福利和社会正义的工具或实现后殖民国家发展目标的工具。我们研究了 sedekah（自愿施舍）在印度尼西亚中产阶级穆斯林中的当代流行情况，以及专门从事 sedekah 计划的伊斯兰慈善机构的兴起。这些慈善机构使用社交媒体来记录他们的活动并筹集资金，并改变了施舍的话语。我们认为，加速的时间逻辑越来越影响当今印度尼西亚的社会福利领域。伊斯兰慈善机构展示了他们的效率、透明度以及 sedekah 实践为捐助者带来的物质回报。今天，伊斯兰慈善不再主要与社会福利和社会正义联系在一起，而是越来越多地与经济收益联系在一起。因此，慈善机构关注加速他们的援助及其调解，强调即时性以吸引那些要求将捐赠快速、非官僚地转换为具体帮助并立即从他们的“投资”中获得物质和精神回报的捐赠者。伊斯兰慈善不再主要与社会福利和社会正义联系在一起，而是越来越多地与经济收益联系在一起。因此，慈善机构关注加速他们的援助及其调解，强调即时性以吸引那些要求将捐赠快速、非官僚地转换为具体帮助并立即从他们的“投资”中获得物质和精神回报的捐赠者。伊斯兰慈善不再主要与社会福利和社会正义联系在一起，而是越来越多地与经济收益联系在一起。因此，慈善机构关注加速他们的援助及其调解，强调即时性以吸引那些要求将捐赠快速、非官僚地转换为具体帮助并立即从他们的“投资”中获得物质和精神回报的捐赠者。
