Through history, Islam was the dominant religion and source of
legitimation for ruling entities in diverse contexts where cultures
and religions thrived in harmony. Today, the presence of Muslims as
citizens in secular societies poses challenges, either by belonging
to minorities in Western countries with long secular traditions or
by comprising minority or majority populations in post-communist
East European and Central Asian societies, where secular values are
being revised. As Muslims reconceive the role of religion in their
lives in those contexts, Islamic education acquires importance. It
assists the young, especially adolescents, in learning to identify
more fully with local realities with the intention of building
sense of inner connectedness through which they may truly take part
in and be of service to society. The contributors to this volume
explore how the religious and secular, as well as the traditional
and modern intersect in Islamic educational institutions that
benefit Muslims and their societies by averting extremism and
promoting cohesion.
