Abstract
Aknur, a 23-year old college student and devout Muslim, actively aspires to be "sade" (pure, simple, frugal) in all aspects of her self-making. Critical of both secularism and the rise of the pro-capitalist Islamic bourgeoises, Aknur seeks a life trajectory based on religious devotion, altruism, and anti-materialism. Although she is well-educated and driven, Aknur has difficulty envisioning her post-graduate life. She aspires to put her education to use in an altruistic career but is aware her commitment to religiously covering will limit her employment opportunities. Her lack of a suitable marriage prospect - someone who is both consciously Muslim and non-domineering - also raises concerns for Aknur about whether she will be able to consummate her religious devotion through marriage and motherhood
