Analysing Islamic Welfare Activism in Western European Countries

  • First Online:
Welfare Activities by New Religious Actors

Part of the book series: Palgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship Series ((CAL))

  • 152 Accesses

Abstract

Chapter 2 offers a critical description of the academic literature describing the social activities of Islamic actors in several countries of Western Europe. From the late 1970s, various countries have restructured the rules of interaction between religious groups and public institutions by including or excluding Islamic organisations in this process. At the theoretical level, the chapter provides a comparative panorama of Islamic welfare in Europe. Furthermore, the chapter analyses how Muslim social activism is a relevant transnational case study. In fact, it facilitates a better understanding of the interaction between national church–state regulation and new global trends. The second part of the chapter displays the theoretical perspectives, the research questions, hypotheses, and the methodology adopted.

Notes

  1. 1.

    ‘The sociology of Islam has become a vital track of original research, in both historical and contemporary perspectives, on Muslim majority societies and Muslim minorities since the 1980s, through establishing significant links to wider conceptual debates in social theory and cultural studies. The Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam, which for a decade (1998–2008) pioneered this trend, explicitly put at the core of its project the investigation of the antinomies of Western sociology as revealed by its view of Islam, as well as the ambiguities of Islam’s positioning within global society’ (Salvatore 2013, 11).

    The zakāt funds can be allocated to different categories of people. The most relevant categories concern efforts to combat inequality across societies: Al-Masākīn (the poor), Al-Fuqarā’ (Muslims living in miserable conditions) and Al-Ghārimīn (indebted individuals).
