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.\u003cbr\u003eThrough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walaa Quisay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399502786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399502788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Walaa Quisay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825913385215,"sku":"9781399502788","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0d237b8-2554-4635-a117-e28750a5c20d.jpg?v=1746074008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neo-traditionalism-in-islam-in-the-walaa-quisay-9781399502788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
