Reviews

’...with its compilation of nine thematic as well as case-based chapters, this book offers an in-depth examination of mainly non-governmental sources and structures of Islamic faith-based, or at least faith-inspired, aid and charity. Although much of it is never reflected in the donor statistics, it is nonetheless often embedded in the fabric of real society or sectors thereof. The work documents an interaction and intertwining between aid, charity and religion that, throughout history, has been more the rule than exception. As such, the practical relevance of this book goes well beyond academia, and also targets aid professionals, policy makers and development journalists.’ Bruno De Cordier, Ghent University, Belgium ’Islam and Development is, overall, a timely and compelling volume that I recommend not only to students and academics but also to professionals in aid agencies; the language is accessible to anyone and the book includes significant practical suggestions for aid agencies.’ Islam and Christian Muslim Relations
