Islamic activism refers to efforts by individuals or groups to promote and implement Islamic principles in society. This can involve various activities, including community service, political engagement, and social justice initiatives. Activists often seek to address issues such as poverty, education, and human rights through the lens of Islamic teachings. Many Islamic activists are inspired by the teachings of the Quran and the example of the Prophet Muhammad. They may work within existing political systems or advocate for reform, aiming to create a society that reflects their understanding of Islamic values. This activism can take many forms, from peaceful protests to educational campaigns.
