A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE TABLIGH JAMAAT - JA...

In this book we study The Tabligh Jama'at  an Islamic revivalist movement which  through
participation in its preaching tours  provides satisfaction to individuals experiencing the
crisis of modernity. Preaching tours enable Muslims to become workers for Allah and involved in
the renewal of Allah's world. We explore the ideological underpinning of preaching and working
for Allah through the application of Frame Theory. Through an analytic framework comprising
framing tasks and framing processes we unpack how the ideas of Islamic revivalism found in key
Tabligh Jama'at written and oral texts - the Faza'il-e-A'maal and bayans - are packaged and
communicated in such a way as to attract individuals to participate in preaching tours. The
book concludes that working for Allah provides Muslims with meaning  social solidarity  and
satisfaction which modernity has failed to provide them. This book will appeal to academics 
researchers  journalists  policy-makers  and research studentsinterested in or working on
Islamic revivalist movements.
