Abstract

This chapter begins with explaining the logic behind the compilation of the book and continues to outline various chapters in the collection. It then explores the basic concepts of the ‘Muslim world’ and the ‘Islamic world’ and introduces various discourses about these concepts including the pan-Islamic, counter-Islamic and social science discourses. The chapter ends with some reflections on the possibility of identifying an Islamic welfare regime and points out some key issues and challenges faced by welfare systems in Muslim societies.
