Legitimate practice constructs a contemporary Muslim identity in South Africa: the case of the Tablīgh Jamaat in Johannesburg
Muslim identity in South Africa has undergone a reconstruction. This article engages with this process exploring the Tablīgh Jam[image omitted] at, an international movement that seeks to improve the practice of Islam amongst Muslims as a source of reconstruction. This article seeks to explain how people come to identify with being Muslim in a particular way, using data gathered from in-depth interviews, observations and text from Tablīgh Jam[image omitted] at literature. Data is analysed using identity construction theory which argues that meaning derived from shared experience and interrelations informs identity construction. The data reveals that the Tablīgh Jam[image omitted] at practices are able to increase shared experience and interrelations derived from legitimate meaning. Given these findings, the success of the Tablīgh Jam[image omitted] at is not likely to wane.
