Lizenz: Print on Demand The Islamic missionary movement Dawat-e
Islami was founded in 1981 as the Barelwi version of Tablighi
Jamaat. Both new religious movements of piety and self-
improvement show to some extent characteristics comparable with
the religious change promoted by Pentecostalisms. World
religions have undergone a dramatic transformation during recent
decades with consumers' preferences of new religious goods and
services shaping the religious change. The modernity-specific
tool kit of religious change that translates and reframes
religious symbol-systems seems to be similar among different
traditions of faith: Stressing "lay" leadership, new
voluntarism, individual transformation and the increasing
imperative to share one’s faith with "unbelievers", these re-
traditionalized belief-systems are transformed into lived,
experienced traditions. Tradition thus becomes an activity.
