Huq has also shown the spread of Islamic literature and private and public sermons among urban and suburban women (Huq, 2014;Huq and Rashid, 2008).…”

“…Unlike Tabligh Jamaat, women da'wa movements are diverse in their orientations and motivations. Huq (2014) argues that women da'wa movements in Bangladesh call for women to critically reflect on their past beliefs and practices in order to chart a new trajectory where their lives can become more "authentically" Islamic and at the same time modern.

These movements appear to be a part of a larger project of change sweeping over other Islamic movements today (Huq, 2014).
