  • Sharia in the City Negotiation and Construction of Moral Space
    SHARIA IN THE CITY NEGOTIATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF MORAL SPACE BY SHARIF ISLAM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, Chair Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille Associate Professor Junaid Rana Associate Professor Assata Zerai ABSTRACT This dissertation is primarily concerned with how sharia is practiced by Muslims from a variety of backgrounds in Chicago’s Devon Avenue and how they co-construct physical and moral spaces. More specifically, I am interested in how sharia as a divine, non- contingent moral and legal code is understood and analyzed in various contingent situations and everyday settings such as producing, distributing, marketing and consuming halal food products. Drawing on conversations with residents, employees, and customers who visit stores in Devon Avenue, as well as archival research, my aim is to demonstrate the various multifaceted understandings and implications of sharia for Muslims in the United States. I argue that the multifaceted interpretations and practices of sharia in the United States are connected with the rhythms and everyday practices of Chicago and beyond. These connections, rhythms, and practices are reflected and interpreted in the actions and comments of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The goal here is not just to show that the religious (for instance, sharia) and the non- religious/secular (grocery stores, restaurants, farms) are intertwined but to what extent these seemingly separate and disparate domains and spaces may be concurrently called upon within the framework of Islam, sharia, and halal food.
