It explores Islamic social work as an emerging concept at the interface of Islamic thought and social sciences, with case studies of practical fields such as educational programs, family counseling, and prisoner resettlement.

Islamic social work is a developing concept that combines Islamic thought and social sciences. It examines the discourse that provides religious legitimacy to social work activities and case studies of practical fields such as educational programs, family counseling, and prisoner resettlement. While these activities are often directed towards Muslim clients, they often benefit society as a whole. Muslim actors are also professionalizing their services and negotiating their recognition as service providers within the welfare state.
The book also highlights that new types of activities are emerging that bring back an increased sensitivity to the religious identities of beneficiaries and the religious motivations of benefactors. This volume will be of interest to researchers in Islamic Studies, Social and Political Sciences, Social Work, and Religious Studies.
