The manifold ways in which Muslims engage the possibilities of mobile lives show the tremendous creative potential of these practices.

Their findings contribute to the mobility debate by revealing that im/mobile lives of people are deeply rooted in religious and/or gendered backgrounds and social structures and furthermore invite a critical rethinking of the concept of mobility itself.
