  • Summary

    This chapter presents examples from followers of these scholars within the West, but also from within Muslim majority countries, who are initiating new platforms to provide solutions to modern day challenges adopting an Islamic framework. These initiatives range from Islamic clothing chains that preserve Muslim modesty while allowing one to blend with the local tastes; protecting the environment and promoting organic farming; the launch of social spaces that connect Muslims among themselves but also with other communities; and the promotion of Islamic art and culture. The chapter ends by noting some of the challenges this movement would have to address to sustain its rapid pace of expansion.
