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.
