Summary

The conclusion offers a general summary and some reflections on the book. I argue that the diversity of lived Islam in the zongos is informed by and informs the lifeworld of these wards as the people of the zongos relate to and live with one another as Muslims. In the process, they engage with and (re)make their religion in open but not ungrounded processes as they ground their divergent Islamic conceptions, practices, and imaginaries in the discursive tradition of their religion and thus participate in and perpetuate it. As a lived and living tradition, Islam is inextricably bound up with how people live it.
