This unique textbook enables social work practitioners to gain a deeper understanding of how Islamic principles inform and influence the lives of Muslim populations.
Designed to support work with families and faith communities, this completely revised and updated edition examines religious precepts, cosmologies, philosophies and daily practices, while acknowledging cultural variants and population heterogeneity. It includes a comprehensive update of the research literature, international case studies, and new sections on religious extremism and ageing and end-of-life.
This is the only book specifically on social work with Muslim communities and provides an essential toolkit for culturally sensitive social work practice.
Introduction

Social Work Education & Islam principles
Gender Relations and the Morphology of the Family
Working with Families
Health and Muslim Families
Ageing & Muslim Communities
Muslim communities, crime, victimisation and criminal justice – with Tracey Devanna
Conclusion
Publishing rationale
• The previous edition was regarded as the main and essential text on social work with Muslims and was very well received
• It has received excellent reviews in in the British Journal of Social Work and International Social Work, which is good for the list profile
• The need for non-Muslims to understand Islamic faith, cultures and communities is increasing – meaning that there should be a growing market
• This remains the only book on the subject and I want to maintain that market lead
• The new edition will be fully updated with new chapters on terrorism, ageing and an increased number of case studies
Unique selling point:
The only full length book to provide the depth and breadth of information required to inform culturally sensitive social work practice with Muslim communities.
