Charity in Muslim Societies-Do Good and Throw into the Sea

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

Singer examines the path of philanthropy over the centuries from cultural, social and political perspectives and presents the reader with an interesting analysis of the role, importance and effects of aid in Islamic societies. Singer focuses not only on the nature and practice of aid, but also on how aid is given and by whom, as well as how those in need of aid perceive it.

By incorporating many anecdotes and personal experiences into his narrative, in addition to careful textual readings, Singer captures the psychological subtleties that characterize nearly all aspects of philanthropy and shows how they reveal themselves throughout history.

–Haaretz, Israeli Daily Newspaper

Singer's book serves as an effective counterweight to post-9/11 work linking Islamic charities and jihadist movements. It manages to break the contemporary relationship between Islamic charity and violence.
