与一系列研究不同的是，在一个由唯物主义倾向和世俗理性主导的社会中，穆斯林如何试图解决虔诚生活的问题，在这篇文章中，我把这个问题转过来，把虔诚生活的意愿和对自律的关注问题化。在尼罗河三角洲地区年轻人的日常生活中，创造全面的道德和公民美德的伊斯兰复兴主义项目与其他不太全面的目标和理想，特别是社区和家庭纽带、浪漫的爱情、成功和自我实现，难以共存。我试图认真对待这些矛盾，并详细讨论人们生活的方式以及他们试图理解自己生活的方式。特别是，我看看人们如何在他们的生活中使用宗教，爱和愿望的规范登记册，这些理想中的每一个都包含的承诺，以及如果这些承诺中的任何一个失败，可以选择的选择。
In contrast to a line of studies that inquire how Muslims try to solve the problem of living piously in a society dominated by materialist tendencies and secular rationality, in this article I turn the question around and problematize the will to live piously and the focus on self-discipline. In everyday lives of young men from the Nile Delta region, the Islamic revivalist project of creating comprehensive moral and civic virtues uneasily coexists with other less total aims and ideals, notably community and family bonds, romantic love, success and self-realization. I attempt to take these contradictions seriously and dwell on the ways people live them and their attempts to make sense of their lives. In particular, I look at the ways people employ the normative registers of religion, love and aspiration in their lives, the promises each of these ideals entail and the options that are available should any of these promises fail.
