This book focuses on spiritual retreats hosted by three main shaykhs   Hamza Yusuf, Abdal Hakim Murad and Umar Faruq Abd-Allah   to examine how religious authority is formed and affirmed.Through interviews with seekers who have attended retreats, the author sheds light on how discourses are shaped and practised and analyses how neo-traditionalist shaykhs construct the notion of 'tradition' concerning what they perceive to have been lost in modernity. The book highlights the importance of neo-traditionalism in the changing conceptions of religious orthodoxy, religious authority and spirituality for young Muslims in the West, and Quisay examines the political implications to the shaykhs' critiques of modernity as it pertains to political quietism, race and gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54766086586742,"sku":"9781399502788","price":26.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35594106_af40c670-ec8a-4753-8519-e8386400e325.jpg?v=1754517263","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399502788-neo-traditionalism-in-islam-in-the-west-orthodoxy-spirituality-and-politics","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
