| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The object of KAKEN Research project 2017-2020 was to collect data on Muslim religious activities carried out to help vulnerable people and how spirituality is taught in social work education in Muslim majority countries. Without understanding the facts based on the above empirical data, it is difficult to figure out why social work transmitted from European countries, and the US does not fit the context of Asian countries. The research group comprised researchers from Muslim majority countries in Asia: Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan. Interviewees were selected from both categories: 1) workers in Muslim NGOs serving the needy, and 2) educators in Social Work schools. Throughout this project, four critical elements of “social work and spirituality” in the targeted countries were discussed and examined as follows; Doctrines, Inadequate government/public services, Lack of education materials, and Rethinking the meaning of “indigenous social work."

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
日本における国際社会福祉の議論は国際比較研究・日本の社会福祉制度に基づく領域に焦点をおいた研究があるものの活発な議論がなされているとは言い難く、イスラム教と社会福祉に着目した先行研究も少ない。本研究は海外の議論で頻出するソーシャルワークのインディジナイゼイション（現地化）とイスラム教によるソーシャルワーク実践を切り口に国際社会福祉研究の可能性を探求した点で挑戦的であり、研究成果を英文で印刷し国際組織を通じて配布予定であるため国内外の先行研究となる点で意義が大きい。
