Muslim Student Associations in America

Delve into the multifaceted experiences of American Muslim youth as they navigate their faith within the dynamic context of Muslim Students Associations (MSAs) on college campuses in the northeastern United States. This book offers a compelling exploration of how MSAs serve as discursive spaces for these students to engage with and experience Islam
This delves into the intricacies of these discursive spaces, shedding light on how American Muslim students use MSAs to introspectively articulate and share their existential and theological assumptions. It uncovers the ways in which some students exercise religious individualism, distancing themselves from their parents' generation in terms of practices and beliefs. Furthermore, it examines the transformative impact of ¿alaq¿t (study circles) led by university chaplains on students' engagement with religious texts.
