Women’s participation in the Tablīghī Jamā‘at, an Islamic reform movement launched in the 1920s that emphasizes personal piety, remains underexamined, impeded by the organization’s strict pardāh requirements but also by the popular perception that it is a body of male preachers. While there is no indication that its founder wanted women to play an active role in his movement, women were a part of the Jamāt a few decades later. This paper points to important twentieth-century shifts in the socio-economic configuration in north India that paved the way for women’s inclusion in the Jamāt. The mode of piety that evolved in this period was better suited to handle the stresses of the emerging salaried class, and it upheld the pious wife as an ideal companion for the pious man, underplaying the role of teachers and spiritual masters. This paper argues that the possibility of social and geographic mobility that changed the structure of the household and the texture of local communities also formulated a mode of piety that enabled women to perform da‘wā.

The Islamic reform movement in Indonesia cannot be separated from the figure of Ahmad Dahlan through the Muhammadiyah organization. This can be traced through the early history and development of Muhammadiyah which was shown by Ahmad Dahlan's character through the idea of renewal or the tajdid movement. This article looks at the character of KH. Ahmad Dahlan from an anthropological and sociological perspective. The reading is intended to determine the role of the character in the map of the development of the community. The main thing to be examined in this article is the correlation between KH. Ahmad Dahlan and the pesantren education system in Indonesia. The correlation between Muhammadiyah and Islamic boarding schools was studied using the discussion of the categorical simplification model on three indicators of Muhammadiyah's function and role, namely as an educational institution and the development of Islamic teachings, as an institution for Islamic struggle and da'wah, and as an institution for community empowerment and service. From the three categories it can be seen that KH. Ahmad Dahlan is a figure who is able to respond to the latest challenges quickly and precisely through the tajdid (renewal) movement in the fields of education, preaching, and empowering the Indonesian people.

The microcredit sector in Bangladesh has flourished over the past few years by providing financial services to poor women who were previously unreachable, and it has been successful in meeting their fundamental needs, empowering them. This paper is an attempt to find out the role of microcredit on the empowerment of women borrowers in the context of some regions of the Chattogram district. These three Upazillas were surveyed cross-sectionally. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data during face-to-face interviews with 50 microcredit women borrowers and 50 non-borrowers from two major microcredit providers in Bangladesh. Participants were randomly selected. Data were summarized in tabular form. As a result of the chi-square test and ANOVA, significant results were observed. The paper analyzes the role of microcredit in women's empowerment from three perspectives: psychological, social, and economic. As a result of the study, BRAC and ASA microcredit have a significant role in reducing the vulnerability of poor women in the study region by generating income, improving the living standards of borrowers, and enabling these women to become more empowered by: (a) psychological empowerment by acquiring decision-making power in household activities, (b) economic empowerment by making a contribution to living standard & control over assets, (c) social empowerment by getting freedom of voice and mobility.

This article discusses the history of Minangkabau in the 19th century AD. One of the themes of 19th century Minangkabau history is the Islamic reform movement promoted by religious groups commonly called the Padri movement. One of the central issues of the Padri movement was eradicating the habit of drinking alcoholism that occurred in Minangkabau society. The habit of smoking the drug that comes from boiling opium certainly indicates the existence of the drug on a large scale. Therefore, this article will present a picture of the opium trade in Minangkabau in the 19th century from upstream (providers) to downstream (dealers). It is hoped that this article will be useful as an explanation for the habit of smoking made in the Minangkabau community at that time.

During the period of political “Thaw”, which ended with the defeat of the reform movement in Czechoslovakia, the role of mouthpieces of changing public attitudes and a platform for discussing acute cultural issues became the literary magazines “Mladá tvorba” (1956-1970) and “Kultúrny život” (1946-1968). Focused on a different range of readers and a range of issues, they have remained relevant and authoritative publications throughout their existence, the value of the traditions of which is still preserved.

Through a study of over 1,300 previously unanalyzed Malay Islamic manuscripts, this article examines the role of the Patani community in the construction of transoceanic knowledge networks between Mecca and Southeast Asia in the nineteenth century. Set against the backdrop of the destruction of prevailing symbols of authority, as well as the displacement and scattering of the community after 1200/1786, the present study investigates the manner by which scholars established new cultural unities for the community and addressed social concerns by translating and spreading Islamic writings, teachings, and schools. With its spiritual leadership centered now in Mecca, influential members of the community began producing works that were contingent upon political circumstances, but also directed at the problems facing the refugee community. Of foremost importance were the place and definition of the family, and related issues such as inheritance, divorce, and visible social actions, including ritual purity, fasting, almsgiving, and criminal punishments.
