'Scholars of Faith' looks at South Asian Muslim women acquiring religious education in India as well as around the world. It is based on fieldwork in a girls' madrasa in north India as well as an on-line Qur'an class whose students are middle-class South Asian Muslim women with college degrees and have chosen to learn the Qur'an in Arabic. It reflects on the motivations and impact of this education on the lives of these modern South Asian Muslim women.

How do we learn to be religious ? To make sense of this process should we emphasise the habitual reinforcement of bodily rituals ? Or the active role of individuals in making decisions about faith at key moments ? Or should we turn to cognitive science to explain the universal structures on which religiosity is built? And how does a relatively devout minority pass on religion in a generally secular Western context ? What significance does religion have for family life in this situation ? And how does a religious identity interact with other kinds of collective identification, for example with a nation, ethnic group or a locality ? These are some of the questions that Muslim Childhood deals with. This book is about ordinary British Muslims' everyday religious socialization of children in early and middle childhood. It provides a detailed description of how Muslim families in a secular Western context attempt to pass on their faith to the next generation. It is rooted in detailed qualitative research with 60 Muslim families in one British city. The authors' own analysis of survey data suggests that Muslims in the UK more effectively pass on their faith to the next generation than other religious groups. This book is in part an attempt to explain why that might be.
