Abstract

Philanthropic activities have a major contribution to the development of social welfare in Indonesia. The practice of philanthropy has a positive impact on people's lives both in the social and economic spheres. As the majority religious group in Indonesia, Muslims have contributed significantly to improving the welfare of society through Islamic philanthropy movements such as waqf, sadaqah, zakat and infaq. The Islamic philanthropy movement in Indonesia has been massively practiced since the Dutch colonial period until today. The movement has gone through various changes and dynamics in its implementation. The development and dynamics of the practice of Islamic philanthropy in Indonesia could be seen from generation to generation, starting from the Dutch colonial period to the post-reform period. This is a book review of the book Islamic Philanthropy: History and Contestation of Civil Society and the State in Indonesia by Amelia Fauzia. This book review recommends that this book should be widely read by those who seek to deepen knowledge about the practice of Islamic philanthropy in Indonesia from the Dutch colonial period to the reformation era.
