British converts are a highly diverse group, with different social, economic and educational backgrounds. Recently this group has grown in confidence and become increasingly active in influencing positive Islamic discourse in Britain. The book sheds light on the intellectual and spiritual contributions of some of the prominent figures of this group of 'new Muslims', and assesses their efforts in shaping Islam in British society; including: Martin Lings, Gai Eaton, Tim Winter and Hamza Yusuf. The research investigates the potential benefit 'new Muslims' can bring to bridge the gap between Muslim communities and wider British society, thus helping in the process of building mutual trust, greater cooperation and positive understanding among all parties in Britain. The work will help readers to become aware of the evolution of a "British Islam" that is more open, rooted in British values and spiritual traditions, and forms a part of the continually changing British religious landscape."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aConversion$xIslam$vCase studies 606 $aIslam$zGreat Britain 606 $aMuslim converts$zGreat Britain 606 $aMuslims$zGreat Britain 606 $2Islam 615 0$aConversion$xIslam 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aMuslim converts 615 0$aMuslims 676 $a297.5/740941 700 $aJawad$b H.
