What is it about?
A comprehensive overview of the historical development of the Salafī daʿwa divided into three stages. Following these historical observations, the development patterns of the Salafī daʿwa in Azerbaijan are explored, and an attempt is made to explain them through a framework provided by social movement theory. Finally, based on its ideological variations in Azerbaijan, an attempt is undertaken to develop a refined taxonomy of the Salafī movement in this country, based on a critical reassessment of existing classifications.

Why is it important?
The research is one of the few focusing the historical development of the Salafi da'wa in highly secularized, post-Communist Shia majority environment in a systemized manner. Could be useful for comparative studies of the Salafi da'wa as well as the regional studies.
