This research aimed to find out how the current services of religious communities affect the religious well-being of Muslim women and how these services need to be developed. The purpose of this thesis was to find out what factors support the religious well-being of Muslim women in Finland.
The thesis was carried out as qualitative research and data were collected through a questionnaire using a Webpropol survey. The questionnaire was answered by 48 respondents, Muslim women who are active members of the religious communities. Work-life partner helped to find respondents through their networks in social media groups for Muslim women. The data were analyzed by thematic analysis.
The result of the research is grouped into three themes, religious well-being of Muslim women, effects of the services on their well-being and need for development.
The research concludes that a source of religious well-being is a combination of physical and mental well-being and services from the religious communities are essential to support it. There are needs other than religious services from the religious communities, like worldly services, which would support the religious well-being of Muslim women better.
