Overview
Zakat giving or mutual aid is a sacred practice in Islam. Where
government and public safety nets fail, zakat serves as a form of
social security in Muslim communities. In Divine Money ,
Emanuel Schaeublin shows how zakat institutions and direct zakat
donations function in contemporary Palestine. Based on his
ethnographic fieldwork in the city of Nablus, Schaeublin traces
zakat flows as they provide critical support to households living
under military rule and security surveillance. In the neighborhoods
of Nablus, the Islamic tradition shapes public life. Many enact
simple gifts of money of food as an expression of God's generosity
and justice. How do such invocations of the divine enable people to
negotiate responsibilities and tensions arising from differences in
wealth in Palestinian society? What is the role of zakat in
confronting political repression and economic instability?
