Hello and Welcome
My friend, you and I shall remain strangers unto life,
And unto one another, and each unto himself,
Until the day when you shall speak and I shall listen
Deeming your voice my own voice; And when I shall stand before you
Thinking myself standing before a mirror.
About me
I don't enjoy talking about myself. Or perhaps there's nothing really to talk about. And, as Wittgenstein puts it, "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." I believe I have an obligation to remain silent.
What I do
I mostly write biographies of Islamic studies scholars, both Muslim and non-Muslim, as well as other figures connected to Islam. I am particularly interested in Islam, decolonial studies, and perennial philosophy, topics on which I have written some articles. I've also had the opportunity to rewrite and expand upon some pre-existing articles, particularly those related to Islam. Besides these subjects, I have broad interests in philosophy and religion, and I may occasionally edit in these areas if something piques my interest.
