The Muslim charity sector is stronger than ever, attracting
thousands of volunteers and millions of pounds in donations. In
times of mobile internet and social media, young people have set up
small scale charities in urban areas, providing general social
services to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Breaking away from
bureaucratic non-governmental organisations and traditional
faith-based charities, these smaller local associations are an
attractive alternative to young people. This book offers an
exploration of the Muslim charity sector, from multi-million pound
NGOs to discrete grassroots charities who are quietly giving rise
to the next generation of Muslim entrepreneurs, scholars,
politicians and other influencers. From studies of eleven charities
across France, Poland and the UK, it investigates key questions
around this young and dynamic movement. What motivates these young
Muslim volunteers? What shapes the socially-engaged behaviour of
young Muslims? What is the place and the role of Islam in their
involvement and commitment to their causes? What social impact do
these organisations have in their local area? How do they
understand religion, faith, participation and citizenship? What
challenges do they face and how do they overcome these? The book
also examines how these grassroots are successful in helping to
prevent extremism, curb Islamophobia and challenge colonialism. The
analysis of these small, local and original initiatives is
fundamental in understanding the role of religiosity for these
younger generations who are trying to articulate their multiple
identities, cultures and traditions in a modern, secular society.
Rich, detailed and vivid, the book sheds new lights on a popular
field of research, unveiling exclusive key information on the
subject of young European Muslims.
