“…The Islamic Studies teachers link the importance of Islamic Studies to the parents' observance of Islamic traditions. This can reinterpret the concept of 'Muslim context', which has been mentioned in the above study of Berglund (2017). Bourdieu (1991, p. 22), links between the value of religious capital and the firm adherence of social actors to their faith, and he states that 'religious capital depends, at a given moment in time, on the state of the structure of objective relations between religious demand (i.e., the religious interests of various groups or classes of laity) and religious supply'.…”

“…There is a consensus among scholars that the relationship between education and Islam has been given considerable attention in academia in the aftermath of 9/11. (Berglund 2017;Gholami 2017;Hefner 2009;Boyle 2004). Nevertheless, little research has been conducted into Islamic Studies teachers (Jamjoom 2012).…”

“…Sai (2017) notes that memorization occupies a greater space in Islamic Studies classrooms due to the importance of memorizing the Quran. Similarly, Berglund (2017) indicates the importance of memorization in Islamic education, and she employs the concept of cultural capital to describe how Quran memorization is highly valued in Muslim communities. However, when Islamic Studies teachers move outside of a context dominated by the Islamic ethos, this capital can be depreciated.…”

“…But, when the teachers of Islam work in non-Islamic context, this capital can be devalued. For example, Berglund (2017) indicates in her study that when Quran teachers move from an Islamic to a secular context, they feel that memorization skill, which is very important in teaching the Quran, can be regarded as a rudimentary method of learning.…”

Recent years have witnessed the burgeoning growth of international schools in Qatar, where Islamic Studies is a statutory subject for all schools. This paper aims to investigate how Islamic Studies teachers navigate an internationalized setting where there is dissonance between local and global educational priorities. International schools aim to forge global citizens who perceive their identity in terms of global rather than religious belonging. To examine how Islamic Studies teachers view their work in such a setting, a qualitative study was conducted in an international school based in Qatar. The study employs Bourdieu’s concepts of religious capital and field to explore how the Islamic teachers’ pedagogical skills and knowledge are valued in a non-Islamic teaching setting. The study concludes that the international schooling field allowed Islamic Studies teachers to transform their religiosity into social capital, but they failed to convert their Islamic knowledge into cultural capital. However, Islamic Studies teachers positively view their work in internationalized milieu. They think that the international schooling field can help them to accumulate different forms of capital that are prized in Qatar.

This paper examines the relationship between religious practices and the forming of moral dispositions in light of the Qur’an. Using Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, this paper explains the way religious practices mentioned in the Qur’an can form moral dispositions for Muslims. The question that this research aims to answer is whether being a Muslim has anything to do with how he/she is expected to behave in society. It also investigates how central the Qur’an is in Muslims’ lives. Moreover, it discusses how and why Muslims act the way they do and what guides their practices and actions. This paper aims to clarify the ethical, moral and spiritual consequences of embodying religious practices. For example, practices like prayer and charity may give Muslims moral direction and help them be good citizens.
