Luqman Nagy

"Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveller." (Bukhari) Who better to teach us how to be in this world than a true traveller? Former nomad and environmental activist, Luqman Nagy, recounts the remarkable lives and practices of the Muslim nomads that he closely experienced, transporting us from the mountains of Central Asia to the deserts of North Africa with his dynamic recollections and hand-drawings of all the tribes that he encountered along the way. From Nagy's extraordinary encounters, we learn of a resilient, humble, faithful people far removed from our perception of primitive dwellers on the peripheries of civilisation. These nomads are true custodians of the earth, and we have never needed them more than we do now.
