Welcome one and all to my blog, The Humble “I”. I hope you find the contents of some benefit in whatever small way. Feel free to leave any thoughts or comments (keeping within the bounds of civil, even if critical, discourse).
About the blog. Well I suppose 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 comments and constructive criticism, as well as endeavouring to reply to them. This, as a small contribution to a seeker’s overall journey of: knowing, doing and becoming; knowing faith, doing works of faith, and becoming transformed by faith.
