Sunni Muslim Religious Life in Britain
ISBN-13: 9781326158668 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 236 str.
Sunni Muslim Religious Life attempts to reflect how religious life of Sunni Muslims in Britain is going on. For the last two centuries, Muslims have confronted transformations associated with modernity in various spheres of social, cultural, economic and political life. The traditional Islamic religious system has been challenged by a separation from various spheres of life under colonial powers and then independent nation-states. Apart from secularisation traditional patterns of religious authority have further been undermined by individualism and the pluralisation of sources of knowledge in an age of new media. Indeed, in the context of migration to Europe, some scholars have argued that modern Muslim identities are likely to become more secularised and individualised. However, in a local case study of Sunni Muslim religiosity in the Uk, this book shows that, overall, this is not the case in the city of Leeds.
