{"product_id":"dawa-and-other-religions","title":"Da'wa and Other Religions","description":"\u003cp\u003eDa‘wa, a concept rooted in the scriptural and classical tradition of Islam, has been dramatically re-appropriated in modern times across the Muslim world. Championed by a variety of actors in diverse contexts, \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e –\"inviting\" to Islam, or Islamic missionary activity – has become central to the vocabulary of contemporary Islamic activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDa‘wa \u003ci\u003eand Other Religions\u003c\/i\u003e explores the modern resurgence of \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e through the lens of inter-religious relations and within the two horizons of Islamic history and modernity. Part I provides an account of \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e from the Qur’an to the present. It demonstrates the close relationship that has existed between \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e and inter-religious relations throughout Islamic history and sheds light on the diversity of \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e over time. The book also argues that Muslim communities in colonial and post-colonial India shed light on these themes with particular clarity. Part II, therefore, analyzes and juxtaposes two prominent \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e organizations to emerge from the Indian subcontinent in the past century: the Tablīghī Jamā‘at and the Islamic Research Foundation of Zakir Naik. By investigating the formative histories and inter-religious discourses of these movements, Part II elucidates the influential roles Indian Muslims have played in modern \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book makes important contributions to the study of \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e in general and to the study of the Tablīghī Jamā‘at, one of the world’s largest \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e movements. It also provides the first major scholarly study of Zakir Naik and the Islamic Research Foundation.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eFurther, it challenges common assumptions and enriches our understanding of modern Islam. It will have a broad appeal for students and scholars of Islamic Studies, Indian religious history and anyone interested in \u003ci\u003eda‘wa\u003c\/i\u003e and inter-religious relations throughout Islamic history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410829594968,"sku":"9780367265564","price":58.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367265564_75556ebf-08aa-4d37-97ec-67006ef80fb0.jpg?v=1769742943","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dawa-and-other-religions","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
