Howdy there everyone! It's been a bit since I last posted, but take that as a sign that I've been hard at work preparing all my information to begin to write my fieldstudy! Recently I completed a Verbal Portrait of my interview with the Imam, typed up the transcripts of our interview, and even had a second interview with a student at Rhode Island College doing an independent project on morality and religion! While busy at work with all of this, I took the time to write down a small poem portion I pulled out of my interview with the Imam, organizing it in the forms of stanzas can help to preserve the actual oral flow that exact transcripts can sometimes miss, so without further ado!
This came as a response to my question about the Imam's personal spiritual experiences, and it sums it up beautifully. I used the technique of Ethnopoetics to boil down the Imam's feelings on his own experiences.
Every day I feel
That Allah is there
Allah is protecting me
Allah is providing for me
It's not something that I just believe in
It's something I live in
I might end up using this piece in my actual fieldstudy, along with a couple other quotes that I found to be extremely enlightening! As always thanks for reading!
