      title = {A sociological study of the Tabligh Jama'at : working for  Allah /},
      abstract = {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 students interested in or working on Islamic  revivalist movements.},
