Selected insights from my readings in Islamic law, theology, and reform movements.
Ozair Khan
I hold a BA in International Relations and an MA in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Geneva. I have worked as a program assistant and field researcher on projects exploring the role religious scholars can play in peace promotion, with field experience relating to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, and parts of Africa. I am currently pursuing a BA in Arabic and Islamic Sciences at the Birmingham College of Humanities and preparing doctoral research on the Ahl-e-Hadith movement in Pakistan.
This blog is a space where I share selected notes from my readings, mainly in Islamic history and fiqh, alongside some of my more formal published work.
