This essay analyzes educational and socializing modes to Islam in contemporary society, particularly focusing on two traditional socializing agencies, the family and the Quranic school, and two "innovative" agencies for Islam, namely association and social networks. Beginning with the conception of the "good Muslim" as defined in the reference texts, the Quran and the Sunna, it analyzes how the believer educates and self-socializes to Islam in a society that is highly complex, differentiated, and traversed by continuous social and cultural phenomena of destabilization. Not only do associations and social networks propose and constitute particularly flexible and multifunctional spaces of socialization, but also the most "stable and secure" agencies in the definition and construction of Muslim identity, including the family, find themselves reworking, modifying, and constructing unique and original educational processes in order to live daily according to Quranic precepts.
