"When Only God Can See: Muslim Carceral Theologies in the Prisons of Egypt and Guantanamo Bay" with Walaa Quisay
When Only God Can See examines the body and soul of Muslim prisoners as sites of religious contestation between themselves and the carceral regimes in the context of the Global War on Terror. Drawing on ethnographic accounts of former political prisoners, primarily detained in Egypt and Guantanamo Bay, this research shows the religious experiences of prisoners that are intrinsic foremost to their personhood, formations of popular theology and hermeneutics, and even to ethereal beliefs. Muslim prisoners are regularly confronted with issues that are unique to their situation – such as maintaining ritual purity when there is little access to clean water, maintaining communal prayers in isolation or discerning prayer times and Qibla when knowledge of time and space is unattainable, as well as acts of resistance including acts of legitimized self-harm such as hunger strikes. In doing so, it examines the impact of carceral structures in producing transformed understandings and practices of fiqh.
This event was organized by the AbuSulayman Center for Global Islamic Studies on September 25, 2024.
