Summary

This chapter focuses on the followers and students of these scholars and shows how the majority of them come from affluent and educated backgrounds. It shows why, to these Muslims, Islamic rationalism has a particular appeal. It also shows that many of them are now themselves training to become teachers, which is helping ensure that the Muslim elites once again reengage with the study of Islamic texts.
