This book explores the religious, educational, and social practice
of a Muslim congregation and the moral world it generated within a
mosque in UK. The life of the mosque is described through religious
practice, communal activities and informal encounters and the
history and ideas that shaped the moral world and thinking of the
Indo-Guyanese who built it. Marked by a double diaspora experience
with its implication of loss and re-imagining, the congregation’s
conception of living a Muslim life is embodied in both ritual and
in styles of comportment and socializing while religious concerns
are voiced in sermons, in religious classes and in responses to
everyday situations. Links are made between anthropology and
developmental and psychoanalytic understandings of embodied
experience and the emergence of ethical capacity. This account
contributes to the literature on Muslim communities in Europe and
‘ordinary ethics.’ As such, the book will be of interest to
sociologists and anthropologists, to those involved in religious
and psycho-social studies, and to clinicians working with Muslim
communities.
