This book addresses the discourses, agendas and actions of Muslim
faith-based organizations and activists to empower Muslim
communities in contemporary sub-Saharan Africa. The individual
chapters discuss how traditional Muslim welfare and charity
institutions, zakat (obligatory or mandatory almsgiving), sadaqa
(voluntary almsgiving and donations) and waqf (pious endowments),
are used to improve social welfare, focusing on instrumentalization
and institutionalization in the collection and distribution of
zakat. The book includes case studies from West Africa (Ghana,
Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana and Senegal), the Horn of Africa
(Somalia) and East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania), highlighting the
role and interplay of local, national and international Sunni, Shia
and Ahmadiyya Muslim faith-based organizations and NGOs. Chapters
"Muslim NGOs, Zakat and the Provision of Social Welfare in
Sub-Saharan Africa: An Introduction" and "Discourses on Zakat and
Its Implementation in Contemporary Ghana" are available open access
