Profeten sade: konsultera ditt hjärta : hadither och sunnah som meningsskapande referens i en moskégrupp i Sverige

This essay examines the processes of interpretations of hadith within a group of muslim women in Stockholm, Sweden. The readings and interpretation of hadith took place in a smaller mosque. The practices of interpretation was studied by the authour through observations and further discussed with informants in interviews. Meaningmaking processes which connected the hadith readings with the everyday life of the group participants; related to questions of moral and etics, relations between men and women and other specific issues, has been highlightened through the observations. The material from observations and interviews has been examined hermeneutically through a narrative model of analysis, revealing structures of interpretation which includes local perspectives as well as connections to a global islamic discourse. The analysis shed a light on the interconnections between the sayings of the Prophet, the religious self and the everyday life of the participants of the group.
