Welcome to The Humble I. I hope you take a moment to browse the posts on the blog, and that you find the contents informative, meditative and even inspiring in whatever small way. Feel free to leave thoughts or comments, keeping within the bounds of civil, even if critical, discourse.
The blog is essentially about Islam and Muslims, and how we might best navigate these complex, challenging and turbulent times. So at times I’ll blog about Muslims and modernity; at other times about purification of the heart; while sometimes I’ll write about marriage and family, spiritual wayfaring, politics, society, law and legal theory, science, history, poetry, literature, ethics, theology, or even some philosophy.
The hope is to post a blog or two each month, God-willing, welcoming engagement with the blog through comments, questions and constructive criticism, hoping also to reply to any queries. This, as a small contribution to the ongoing conversation regarding Islam and Muslims, and our settled status here in Britain. And also as part of the journey of: knowing, doing and becoming; knowing faith, doing works of faith, and becoming transformed by faith.
