Excellent- More about Creating a Shared Moral Community: The Building of a Mosque Congregation in London
This book explores the religious, educational, and social practices of a Muslim congregation in the UK, examining the moral world it generated within the mosque. It highlights the double diaspora experience of the Indo-Guyanese who built the mosque, combining ritual and embodied experiences with religious concerns voiced in sermons, classes, and everyday situations. The account contributes to the literature on Muslim communities in Europe and 'ordinary ethics' and will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, religious and psycho-social studies, and clinicians working with Muslim communities.

This captivating book delves into the intricate tapestry of a Muslim congregation's religious, educational, and social practices, shedding light on the moral universe it has created within a bustling mosque in the United Kingdom. Through vivid descriptions of religious rituals, communal activities, and informal interactions, the author paints a vivid picture of the daily life and ethos of the Indo-Guyanese community that built and sustains this sacred space.
The mosque serves as a vibrant hub where the congregation's conception of Muslim life is embodied in both ceremonial practices and everyday manners and social interactions. Sermons, religious classes, and responses to everyday situations serve as platforms for expressing religious concerns and fostering moral understanding.
The book makes insightful connections between anthropology, developmental and psychoanalytic perspectives on embodied experience, and the development of ethical capacity. It contributes to the growing literature on Muslim communities in Europe and explores the intersection of religion, culture, and personal ethics.
This book appeals to a wide range of scholars and practitioners, including sociologists, anthropologists, religious scholars, and clinicians working with Muslim communities. Its rich insights and multidisciplinary approach offer valuable perspectives on the complexities of living a Muslim life in contemporary society.
