This work consists of articles, interviews, and translations published in various journals at various dates, critically examining the problems of contemporary Islamic movements and the approaches of Western researchers to this phenomenon. An unpublished interview with Hasan Hanefi on Islamic movements is published here for the first time. Furthermore, although the problem of contemporary Islamic movements' preaching of Islam was previously presented as a paper at a symposium, it had not been shared with the public until now. This article was reworked, supplemented, and incorporated into this book. A previously written article is also included to expose the fallacy of the frequently established association between Islam and violence, and the recent slander and lies against the Prophet Muhammad in the West.
We hope that this study will contribute to a critical examination of religious movements, to the elimination of conceptual confusion regarding the phenomenon of Islamic awakening, and to a more accurate definition of the phenomenon.
