{"product_id":"islamic-charities-and-islamic-humanism-in-troubled-times-1747243040039","title":"Islamic charities and Islamic humanism in troubled times","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is the fruit of twenty years' reflection on Islamic charities,  both practically and as a key to understand the crisis in contemporary  Islam. On the one hand Islam is undervalued as a moral and political  force whose admirable qualities are epitomised in its strong tradition  of charitable giving. On the other hand, it suffers from a crisis of  authority that cannot be blamed entirely on the history of colonialism  and stigmatisation to which Muslims have undoubtedly been subjected -  most recently, as a result of the \"War on Terror\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book  consists of seventeen previously published chapters, with a general  introduction and new prefatory material for each chapter. Part one  reviews the current situation of Islamic charities from many different  viewpoints. Part two expands the coverage to explore the potential for a  twenty-first century global \"Islamic humanism\" devised by Muslims. This  means addressing contentious topics such as religious toleration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Benthall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50640429023524,"sku":"9780719099724","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_84bef3fe-754d-4b49-91ff-0e76e488cd15.jpg?v=1750961870","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/islamic-charities-and-islamic-humanism-in-troubled-times-1747243040039","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
