In the last few years Indonesia has been experiencing a Muslim religious revival. In addition to the growing popularity of conservative and even radical Muslim ideologies such as Wahhabism and Salafism, a de facto multi-religious society is facing a strong trend of religious segregation. Indonesians are looking for new forms of their religious manifestation and expression of their piety. One of the most vivid examples of Muslim separation from other religions are perumahan syariah - a new form of gated communities in Indonesia. The article describes the growing phenomenon of closed neighbourhoods where residents life is restricted by Sharia law. Firstly, I describe the roots of current religious revival and its impact of social situation. Secondly, I deepen the definition of gated communities in the context of perumahan syariah as well as controversies linked to the topic. In conlusion, I briefly present possible implications on the social life in Indonesia.

W ciągu ostatnich kilku lat Indonezja przeżywa religijne odrodzenie muzułmańskie. Oprócz rosnącej popularności konserwatywnych, a nawet radykalnych ideologii muzułmańskich, takich jak wahhabizm i salafizm, społeczeństwo de facto wieloreligijne stoi w obliczu silnego trendu segregacji religijnej. Indonezyjczycy poszukują nowych form manifestacji religijnej i wyrażania swojej pobożności. Jednym z najbardziej wyrazistych przykładów separacji muzułmanów od innych religii jest perumahan syariah - nowa forma zamkniętych osiedli w Indonezji. Artykuł opisuje narastające zjawisko zamkniętych dzielnic, gdzie życie mieszkańców jest regulowane przez prawo szariatu. W pierwszej części, opisuję korzenie obecnego ożywienia religijnego i jego wpływ na sytuację społeczną. Następnie, pogłębiam definicję zamkniętych wspólnot oraz kontrowersji związanych z tym tematem. W podsumowaniu przedstawiam możliwe implikacje tego fenomenu dla życia społecznego w Indonezji.
