Islam on the Street deals with the popular side of Islam, as
described not only in tracts and manuals written by Sufi shaykhs
and Islamist thinkers from among the more militant groups in Islam,
but also in writings by other, more secular thinkers who have also
influenced public opinion. A scholar of Arabic literature, Muhsin
al-Musawi explains the growing rift that has occurred between the
secular intellectual the forerunner of Arab and Islamic modernity
since the late nineteenth century and the upsurge of Islamic fervor
in the street, at the grassroots level, and what these secular
intellectuals can do to reconnect with the masses. Using some of
the most important Arabic and Islamic poetry, prose, and fiction to
come out of the twentieth century, Al-Musawi provides context for
the complex images of Arab and Islamic culture given by the various
social, religious, and political groups, providing the motivations.
Readers interested in the influence of religion and secularism
within modern Islamic Arabic literature will find that the author
addresses the presence of Islam and Sufism in ways that secular
commentators have been incapable of doing."
