The book uses an ethnographic approach to explore why the Tablighi
Jamaat movement remains so successful in contemporary times. It
shows that this success results from the positive image that it
cultivates, and the systematic preaching activities of Tablighi
Jamaat followers, and that the organisation's apolitical image, the
public profile of the ijtema, the humbleness of Tablighi followers,
and the attraction of belonging to the global Tablighi community
all help to create a positive image of the Tablighi Jamaat among
ordinary Muslims. The book also argues that the Tablighi Jamaat
remains successful because of its ability to hold its followers
within a Tablighi-guided life, which is perceived as protection
against the Western lifestyle. Many elements of contemporary
Western lifestyle are considered non-Islamic, and so by clearly
defining what is Islamic and non-Islamic in modern society, the
Tablighi Jamaat provides a way in which Muslims can live in the
contemporary world, but remain good Muslims.
