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 – perhaps there's really nothing to say. As Wittgenstein reminds us, Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
I mostly write biographies of Islamic studies scholars and other figures connected to Islam . I have also written more than a dozen fresh articles on Islam and the Qur'an , decolonial studies , metaphysics , perennial philosophy , and environment . I have also rewritten and expanded many existing articles, particularly those related to spiritual and epistemic aspects of Islam. More broadly, I have a deep interest in philosophy and religion and I make minor contributions to related articles whenever a topic intrigues me.
