Islamic studies is neither a discipline nor a method, but a field of study that includes a wide variety of methods and disciplines. Historically the field, as witnessed by its name, has favored an understanding of Islam grounded in texts. While texts are undeniably important to understanding Islam, focusing on texts often limits our understanding of how Muslims live their religion. To address this, we propose looking at Muslim studies: examining how Muslims live their religion, without eschewing text and without letting certain understandings of text be determinative for all Muslims.
