Islamic Activism has been associated almost exclusively with politics and political contestation for decades, but in fact there have been many developments among Islamist movements in many Muslim countries that have gone unnoticed. This project will look at recent contemporary developments in the domain of Islamic activism in Malaysia, and will highlight important new trends such as Islamic Environmentalism, Islamic Welfare, Islamic Volunteerism, etc. pioneered and led by a range of new NGOs and social movements that had made enormous strides in expanding our understanding of what religious activism can mean.
