The book analyzes their accounts of the nature of and the discursive practices implicated in the self-production, of what the author calls ideal Muslim subjects. The book draws on Foucault's insights about ethics and the practices of self-care, to examine Muslim discourses in a way that enriches contemporary discussions about identity, individuality, community, authority, agency and virtue in the fields of religious ethics, Islamic studies and Islamic ethics. The author deepens our understanding of the fluidity and fragility of both the more familiar obligation-centered ethics in Islam and the less familiar, belief-centered mode of Muslim ethical life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Transliteration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarrating Ideal Muslim Subjectivities in a Foucauldian Register\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuhasibian Religious Subjectivity \u0026amp; the Travails of Sincerity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiving with Vulnerabilities: Muhasibian Moral Subjectivity and Self-Care\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelief Perspectives \u0026amp; the Nursian Religious Subject\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNursian Believer as Moral Subject\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForging Ideal Subjectivities Everyday \u0026amp; Over a Lifetime \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042643345751,"sku":"9781793620125","price":69.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793620125.jpg?v=1750954984","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/forging-ideal-muslim-subjects-discursive-practices-subject-formation-muslim-ethics-9781793620125","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
