Where government and public safety nets fail, zakat serves as a form of social security in Muslim communities. In \u003ci\u003eDivine Money\u003c\/i\u003e, Emanuel Schaeublin shows how zakat institutions and direct zakat donations function in contemporary Palestine.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBased 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eNote on Transliteration, Translation, and Anonymization\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: An Anthropological Perspective on Zakat\u003cbr\u003e1.
