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.
