There are many ways of living religiously informed ethical Muslim
lives In this book, the author presents two important accounts, one
by the 9th century moral pedagogue, al-Harith al-Muhasibi (d. 857)
and the other by 20th century Kurdish Quran scholar, Said Nursi (d.
1960), of what the psychic states and moral subjectivity of an
authentic, ideal Muslim ought to look like in everyday life. The
book analyzes their accounts of the nature of and the discursive
practices implicated in the self-production, of what the author
calls ideal Muslim subjects. The book draws on Foucault's insights
about ethics and the practices of self-care, to examine Muslim
discourses in a way that enriches contemporary discussions about
identity, individuality, community, authority, agency and virtue in
the fields of religious ethics, Islamic studies and Islamic ethics.
The author deepens our understanding of the fluidity and fragility
of both the more familiar obligation-centered ethics in Islam and
the less familiar, belief-centered mode of Muslim ethical life.
