Abstract

[This chapter examines the process of renewal of the modern world. Islamic revivalists including the members of the Tabligh Jama’at note that the processes of modernisation and secularisation have transformed the modern world in a very profound manner. They find the epoch in which we live—modernity—has become a new jahiliyah (a state of unGodliness). This jahiliyah has to be reversed and in the revivalist ethos it involves investing in the global renewal or social transformation, which is effectively building a God-focused global society. For the Tablighis the renewal or social transformation of the world is indirect through proselytisation. Proselytisation is a new revivalist tool used to cleanse syncretised religious beliefs and practices as well as bring about global social and cultural changes.]
