Philanthropy plays an essential role in Muslim practice around the
world. Using a new framing, Philanthropy in the Muslim World
contributes to the literature by adding Muslim-majority countries
that have not been previously included in cross-national
philanthropy volumes as well as countries that have important
Muslim minority communities. This book accomplishes five important
tasks. First, it provides available research on different parts of
the world where Muslims live and practice their faith and
philanthropy. Second, it offers a cross-national understanding of
philanthropy. Third, it illustrates the diversity and heterogeneity
in philanthropic practice across different geographical contexts.
It suggests that local culture, public policy, and regulations have
an important role in defining local religious practice. Fourth, it
helps us to understand how Muslims, in majority and minority
contexts, seek to practice philanthropy after the terrorist attacks
of 9/11/2001 and the Global War on Terror. Fifth, it pushes back
against the notion of a ‘Muslim’ and ‘non-Muslim’ world, as
these terms have little basis in either critical scholarship or
Qur’anic discourse. In the academic world, the book will be
important to those interested in the sociology of Islam, scholars
of civil society and philanthropy, scholars interested in global
philanthropy or Islam in a global context, and students in courses
on Islamic faith and practice. However, this book would also be
valuable for the non-scholarly educated reader including
philanthropists, international NGOs, policy-makers, and
practitioners who seek to understand how Muslim philanthropy can
play an important role in social good interventions in different
parts of the world.
