Printed on acid-free paper Springer Science+Business Media LLC New York is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Pref ace T his work has a long history and combines my professional interest and work on philanthropy, the third sector, and development (e.g., my doctoral dissertation voluntarism and local sustainable development planning completed in 1991 at the University of Waterloo) with my quest for understanding Islam and Muslim majority countries (MMCs). D uring my fi eld study in Bangladesh, for my doctoral dissertation, I started to look at religious aspects of philanthropy in poor communities. Later on with my involvement in the Asia Pacifi c Philanthropy Information Network (APPIN; www.asianphilanthropy.org) research work as principal researcher (2001–06) and project director (2005–06), I got an opportunity to explore philanthropy in Muslim societies like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan as well. The understanding and lessons were published in a book (P hilanthropy and Social Justice in Islam , ASN, Kuala Lumpur, 2007). D uring my recent works as the principal researcher and editor for T he Muslim World in the 21st Century: Space, Power, and Human Development (Springer, 2102), I realized the importance of expanding further my work on Muslim philan- thropy encompassing all MMCs. The pursuit owes to the fi eldworks for my other research (C omparative Third Sector Governance: Structure, Process, and Political Economy , Springer, 2008) as the principal researcher and editor. These previous works and a job change to the Gulf furthered my interest on philanthropy, the third sector, and their human security roles in MMCs. T he enthusiasm from Springer (especially Teresa M. Krauss—the editor) and the eagerness of some possible contributors helped me crystallize the idea and the frame for this work. Due to suggestion from Teresa, the volume was transferred to the Nonprofi t and Civil Society Series. I am thankful to Teresa, the authors, and the series editors (Paul Dekker and Annette Zimmerman). During my visits to many MMCs, I received help from academics and people in government and nongovernment organizations as well as private organizations. They are too numerous to name, but I express my sincere gratitude to all of them (including those who wished to remain anonymous for technical reasons). v vi Preface I am also expressing thanks (on my own and all the authors’ behalf) to the reviewers who spent valuable time to comment on earlier drafts of the chapters. We are grateful to professors Adil Khan, Clara Morgan, Gerry Garland, Gordon Nelson, Jenny Onyx, Karla Simon, Mohammad Al Faruque, and Muhammad Alauddin. I am thankful to Saif Mohamed al-Mahrouqi for transliteration help, and to Noora al-Suwaidi for research assistance. Finally, I am thankful to my wife, Arifa, and daughters, Samia and Fariha, for their understanding and forbearance.
