Description
Modern da‘wah (the “summons” or “invitation” to practise Islam) comprises a wide range of activities and manifests itself in various contexts.
This study investigates Salafi da‘wah in Germany and the new social-religious movement behind it from its beginnings on a nationwide level to 2011. Based on an analysis of Salafi texts and lectures and fieldwork among Salafi lay activists, it explores Salafi definitions of da‘wah and “authentic Islam”, strategies, concepts and practices of Salafi preachers as well as recurrent motifs in their da‘wah. It also demonstrates which factors have shaped the different trends of the German Salafi movement and their calls to practise Islam during this period. The work reveals the complex and heterogeneous nature of Salafi da‘wah in Germany, and shows how Salafis – on a tightrope walk between dogmatism and strategic flexibility – constantly adapt their da‘wah to the changing sociopolitical environment, target groups and the assumed needs of da‘wah in Germany.

Reviews
»a welcome addition to the growing library of studies on Salafism in Germany.«
Rüdiger Lohlker, Die Welt des Islams 58/2018, 408
»In her study, Wiedl analyses an impressively large amount of German Salafi literature and online lectures. She traces dynamic processes of fragmentation within German Salafism as well as pragmatic adaptations of Salafi discourses to the German context. Her book is an excellent introduction to Salafism in Germany and certainly the best history of its beginning in the country. It is a major contribution to the research on Islamic mis sionary movements in the West and highly relevant for people engaged in interreligious dialogue..«
