Scouting for God: Metaphysics and Masculinity in the Muslim Brotherhood’s Jawwala Program, 1933–1948
This article examines the Muslim Brotherhood’s scouting ( jawwāla ) program in colonial Egypt as a key site for the articulation of masculinity. Building on scholarship on effendi masculinity and modernity, it argues that the Brotherhood advanced a distinct model of masculine self-cultivation that cannot be fully understood through frameworks of nationalist subject formation alone.

Cosmopolitan Spirits: Islam and the Experimental Cosmologies of Egypt's Spiritualist Movement, 1947-1960
This article considers the history of Egypt's mid-twentieth-century Spiritualist movement through an examination of its periodical, a monthly Arabic magazine called ʿAlam al-Ruh (The World of the Spirit) (1947-1960).

Indeed, histories of Islamic reformism often portray this novel religiosity as an exclusive force of disenchantment, which is unhelpful for understanding the views of Muslims …
The American Sufis: Self-Help, Sufism, and Metaphysical Religion in Postcolonial Egypt
This article examines an Arabic commentary on the American self-help pioneer Dale Carnegie's How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, written by a one-time leading intellectual of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Muḥammad al-Ghazālī. Ghazālī's 1956 commentary was perhaps the earliest manifestation of an influential genre of literature within the Islamic world today: 'Islamic self-help.' Although scholars treat Islamic self-help as an effect of neol…
