Publication announcement: my third monograph "Shah Waliyullah Dihlavi: Aspirations and Tensions of Islamic Cosmopolitanism" out today. Though slightly shorter than my first two books, this is perhaps the best and was certainly the most meaningful to write.

I'm looking forward to guest editing the upcoming Special Issue of Metamodern Theory and Praxis focusing on the topic of process social ontologies!

I had a great time joining Ryan Anderson recently on his Wonder Junkie podcast for a conversation on process philosophy, psychedelics, Islamic spirituality, and almost everything in between!
Available on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts. :-)

In my view, Muhammad Iqbal is widely misunderstood and mischaracterized in both Eastern and Western academic circles for a variety of reasons. One of the more nuanced readings of Iqbal that I have seen—albeit somewhat harsh in tone—is this paper by Muhammad U. Faruque.

📰 NEWS | Congratulations to CMC alumna Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre on Nietzsche in Paradise, out today.
Exploring Muhammad Iqbal’s dialogue with Friedrich Nietzsche, the book traces Muslim influence on Western writers incl. Defoe & Tolstoy.

I enjoyed presenting my initial findings putting the philosophies of Alfred North Whitehead and Mulla Sadra in conversation today at a wonderful online conference organized by Emmanuel Ofuasia!
Why should we be afraid of exploring and engaging process-relational metaphysics and participating in a contemporary cross-cultural scholarly exchange when we have precedents for these same styles of thought within our own tradition?

Exciting news! My open access book, "Muslim Theological Encounters with Science," part of the Cambridge Elements Series, is now available. This work explores the complex and nuanced relationship between Islamic theology and scientific inquiry, offering insights into historical and contemporary perspectives.
You can read it for free here: Muslim Theological Encounters with Science.

Kind of sad how we have one of the best contemporary scholars of Sufism, someone who has actually read the works in the original Arabic and prepared critical editions, making YouTube videos for free and he only has around 7,000 views while non-specialists get millions.
In this presentation, I explore the deep interconnection between imagination, ritual, and non-ordinary experiences, arguing that these are not niche or peripheral aspects of human life but fundamental, primordial capacities essential to both individual and collective flourishing.
Drawing on ritual studies literature, process philosophy (particularly Whitehead's "Religion in the Making"), Islamic thought, and cognitive science, I make the case that ritual behavior is primordial, creative, and transformative. Watch here: youtu.be/USxHiSSWPcA
