Summary/Abstract: The analysis of current trends in religious preaching in the Arab-Muslim world reflects a heightened interest in new forms of spiritual discourse construction. New self-proclaimed preachers are appearing in the religious field and on the media scene where the dynamics of positive action play a central role. In the panorama of Islamic preaching, God's soldiers not only build their moral discourse on traditional sermons; they preach the socio-economic effectiveness of religion that seeks the happiness, fulfillment and prosperity of the individual. We would like to study here the positive images disseminated on the Islamic act and the new civic responsibilities that the modern Muslim must occupy in the globalized context of today. By searching the official facebook page of Amr Khaled, we see that his relationship to positive citizen action is not limited to the extreme elegance of his speech. Amr Khaled skilfully articulates faith in pleasure. With a "personal gift" of a speaker, he knows how to captivate his audience, as much by his attitude and the tone of his voice as by the choice of his formulas. A. Khaled conveys to the audience simple messages about the ethics of daily life and appearances, emphasizing that the young Muslim can be both pious and lead a normal life where there is serene existence, constructive actions, power financial, prestige and peer identification.
