Islam began with a book : al-Kit\u0101b, the Qur\u2019anic revelations. From this first textual experience came others: Qur\u2019anic exegesis, the Law, Sufism, etc. Islamic studies scholars, whether Muslim or not, read Muslim texts to understand the Islamic tradition. But they also read Muslim bodies and practices through an ethnographic lens. And, to make things more complicated, they read Muslims as readers of their texts, paying attention\u00a0to various interpretations within Muslim communities.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This platform is comprised of four research hubs.
