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.
--Kahlil Gibran
I don't enjoy talking about myself, or perhaps there's really nothing 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.
I mostly write biographies of Islamic studies scholars, and other figures connected to Islam. I am particularly interested in Islam and the Qur'an, decolonial studies, metaphysics and perennial philosophy, topics on which I have written more than a dozen articles. I've also had the opportunity to rewrite and expand upon many pre-existing articles, particularly those related to spiritual and epistemic aspects of Islam. Besides these, I have made minor contributions to numerous philosophy and religion related articles, and I continue to do so whenever something piques my interest.
