Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa dalam era neoliberal Indonesia, kebangkitan spiritual ini sangat memengaruhi ranah ekonomi. Transformasi kesalehan kelas menengah Indonesia menandai munculnya potensi pasar ekonomi baru. Hal itu direspon secara antusias oleh pasar dengan memproduksi produk yang selektif berisi konten spiritual. Dalam prosesnya, peran para agen gaya hidup spiritual memainkan peranan penting dalam membantu dan membentuk kelas menengah urban baru ini dalam mengonsumsi Islam untuk menandakan identitas keislaman mereka. Kemudian muncullah perpaduan aktif antara kesalehan Islam dan kapitalisme dalam situasi Indonesia kontemporer. Konsumsi simbolis Islam menjadi sumber baru dari spiritualisme maupun sumber dari identifikasi religius. Akan tetapi, artikel ini berpendapat bahwa proses ini cenderung menyederhanakan Islam sebagai ‘prosesi material’ daripada ‘prosesi spiritual’. This article examines the religious transformation of the Muslim middle class and its relationship with the growing sharia market in post-New Order Indonesia. It argues that in the Indonesian neo-liberal era, this spiritual revival considerably influenced the economic realm. The transformation of piety of the Indonesian middle class marked the emergence of new potential economic markets. It was responded to enthusiastically by markets producing selective products with a spiritual content. In its process, the role of spiritual lifestyle agents played a pivotal role in helping and shaping the new urban middle class who consume Islam to mark their Islamic identity. It was then that the energetic blending between Islamic piety and capitalism occurred in contemporary Indonesia. Islamic symbolic consumption becomes a new source of spiritualism as well as a source of religious identification. However, this article argues that this process tends to oversimplify Islam as a ‘material process’ rather than a ‘spiritual process’.
