Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study, based on the concrete analysis about Muslim practice in three domains, namely, tourism in Muslim society, Muslim female fashion and the construction of Islamic city, reveals that Muslim practice in modern society is not only attributed to Islamic doctrine, but also correlated with the non-Islamic factors, such as pursuit of economic profit inherent in the modern commercialized and globalized society.
