Paperback. Zustand: Good. 349 pages. name ffep, Contemporary Islamic revivalism is a multi-dimensional and multi-faceted phen omenon. This book explores this phenomenon through an ethnographic study of the world?s largest Islamic revivalist movement, the TablighJama?at (?Conv ey [message of Islam]? Group).The basic contention of… the book is that contemporary Islamic revivalism is a defensive reaction to the crisis of moderni ty, yet it is neither anti-modernity nor does it seek modernity?s destruction. Rather, it highlights thatMuslims are in a crisis. They face the threat of losing their faith and identity in modernity, because according to the revivalis t Muslims, the ?true? Islamic practice no longer constitutes the foundation of everyday Muslimliving. To preclude this from reaching a point of no retur n, Islamic revivalist movements like the Tabligh Jama?at are engaged in encour aging Muslims to return to the ?true? teachings of Islam, and restoring the Islamic glorythat once was the envy of the world. This volume highlights the veritable ?sectarian? intensity with which Tablighis undertake this restora tive work.About the AuthorDr Jan A. Ali is a sociologist of Religi on.
