ABOUT THE BOOK

In this book, Rizwan Mawani encounters diverse communities and their sites of worship, including the mosque, husayniya, khanaqah and Jamatkhana. Readers are introduced to a variety of Muslim spaces, modest and elaborate: their distinct structures and the rituals practiced within them, as well as the purposes they serve as Muslim community centres and markers of identity. Beyond the Mosque is a celebration of the significant pluralism that characterizes the living Muslim tradition today.
