This paper introduces the Al-Risala movement (and Wahiduddin Khan, its founder) as a contemporary Islamic movement based in Delhi, India. Since its inception in 1976, the movement has transformed and reinvented itself several times; today it is arguably one of most visible Muslim movements in South Asia competing to define the discourse on Islam and inevitably, influencing Muslim thought and practice both locally in India but also globally. Khan's thought - described primarily as focusing on "Peace" & "Nonviolence" (Sikand 2003; Omar 2008; Okawa 2019) - has impacted Muslims beyond India. This paper will consider how Khan's ideas have been received and interpreted by people beyond South Asia. Recent studies (Rahman 2017; Thoyib 2018; Dahlkvist 2019) suggest that Khan's works have a wider appeal, particularly as a response to the rise in religious extremism. This presentation will delineate how this positive reception informs as well as enhances indigenous calls for peace and against religious extremism, often in collaboration with people from other faith traditions. The overall aim of the presentation is to explore how the past (Khan's interpretation of Islam) informs the present and the future (reframing of Islamic norms) while at the same time considering the dynamics of translatability of Islamic notion of "Peace" across boundaries.
