Title: Illustrating Postsecular Images of Muslim Societies

Abstract:
Secularisation's supposed demise has been followed by a proliferation of academic literature on the rise of the 'postsecular'. The applicability of the concept of the secular is vehemently disputed in the case of Muslim societies in light of the prevalence of religious beliefs, values, practices and institutions in the public sphere. Widespread diversity in Muslim societies seen through the prism of the postsecular can illustrate the complexity behind the persistence or revival of religious manifestations in different scenarios.
