ABSTRACT
Chapter 3 surveys the contemporary global resurgence of da‘wa. With respect to the roots of modern da‘wa, it considers (1) internal Islamic reform and (2) the Muslim world’s climactic encounter with modernity and the West. With respect to trends in modern da‘wa, it summarizes (1) the institutionalization of da‘wa by both state and non-state actors, (2) the democratization of da‘wa through training and technology, and (3) the relationship between migration, globalization and da‘wa. Chapter 3 provides evidence that, especially since WWII, bottom-up styles of da‘wa have become increasingly prominent among Muslims worldwide.
