During this period a unique community was forged out of British converts and native Muslims from various parts of the world, which focused itself around a purpose built mosque in Woking and later the first mosque to open in London in 1924. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArguing that an understanding of Muslim mission in this period needs to place such activity in the context of colonial encounter, \u003ci\u003eIslam and Britain\u003c\/i\u003e provides a background narrative into why Muslim missionary activity in London was part of a variety of strategies to engage with European expansion and overzealous Christian missionary activity in India. Ron Geaves draws on research undertaken in India and Pakistan, where the Ahmadiya missionaries have kept extensive archives of this period which until now have been unavailable to scholars. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnique in providing an account of Islamic missionary work in Britain from the Islamic perspective, \u003ci\u003eIslam and Britain\u003c\/i\u003e adds to our knowledge and understanding of British Muslim history and makes an important contribution to the literature concerned with Islamic missiology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRon Geaves\u003c\/b\u003e is Visiting Professor in the Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK based in the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, Cardiff University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 30, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52637653467443,"sku":"9781350112377","price":93.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/IWJFfQ0NUa9781350112377.webp?v=1762296772","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/islam-and-britain-muslim-mission-in-an-age-of-empire-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
