Book excerpt: Dar-ul-Islam: Principle, Praxis, MovementThis seminal work by Dr. Kamal Hassan Ali is rooted in his personal involvement with the largest indigenous effort to promote the religious and social remedies of Islam in America. Brooklyn New York in early 1970 is where Dr. Ali pledged himself to the principles of the Dar-ul-Islam Movement, a national Sunni Muslim religious movement whose aim was to familiarize the American people with the precepts of the religion of Islam.Dr. Ali was instrumental in forwarding the Movement's educational goals, and in contributing to the New York State Prison program established by the Dar-ul-Islam Muslim Prison Committee.With respect to the Dar's legitimate claim as an indigenous revivalist movement, Dr. Ali methodically sifts through the five major responsibilities or Pillars of Islam and demonstrates how this Movement, peopled by mostly African American converts, satisfied the communal obligations to these Pillars and, by so doing, situates the Movement in the center of the global Islamic experience
