520 |a The question has been asked, what evidence of compassion does one see in the adaptations Asian-Arab Muslims make as minorities in the West? Within certain parameters, Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh) has flexibility built into the processes of determining religious and social practices. This can be understood particularly in the concept of maslaha, defined as public/community interest, welfare, or well-being. The paper examines how Asian/Arab-American Muslims in Jacksonville, Florida, responded to issues of integration. Traditionally, Muslims defined ummah as a world-wide, community of Muslims where their socio-religious, (and fiscal) needs would be met. However, “community” is not a constant, and Muslims living as a minority in the United States have begun to change those models. A contributing factor to that change is the diversity that Muslims experience within both the Islamic networks and in the society surrounding them, after they immigrate to the West. The multiplicity of peoples has created a desire to seek mutual respect and understanding through interfaith initiatives. In order to become a part of the larger society, several mentioned the importance of giving back to the society, being beneficial to those around them. Several projects have been undertaken to be a contributing member of society. A medical center, feeding the homeless, and building homes for the poor are some examples.
