Abstract

Darul Arqam was founded relatively late in 7968 in Malaysia, while Jemaat Tabligh was founded 1927 in India, but is active in nearly all countries where Muslims live. Both organizations could be described as grassroots and have from the very beginning sought to revitalize Islam by emphasizing piety, da'wa, Islamic rituals and most of all, the establishment of a utopian commune. Thus this article, amongst other things, seeks to analyze the influence that these two movements have on their followers' lives and the integration of those followers into their respective utopian projects.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v13i1.576

Abstract

In this article, I hope to explore some aspects of the complexity of the subject. Engagement in the Tablighi movement is neither a mere act of emancipation nor the complete subordination of women's agency to the rule of men.1 I suggest that the answer to the attraction of the movement to women lies between these two lines. I propose that the women who choose to ally themselves with the movement are prepared to submit themselves to the rules of the gender ideology in return for the extended agency that women receive as active members of the movement's ideology and activities.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i1.491
