Abstract

This research investigates motivations to donate to charity among Muslims living in the UK. The research conducts in-depth interviews and explores charitable causes which Muslims support while examining the extent to which Muslims integrate religion into charitable donation behavior. Participants support a range of charitable causes – both internationally and locally that allows them to develop a sense of attachment and interdependence with others. Findings point to five ways in which religiousness manifests itself in the context of charitable behavior: role modelling, seeking rewards in the hereafter, seeking self-satisfaction, avoiding guilt and seeking congruence. The paper discusses implications for theory and for practice.
