Sapience Academy
Intellectual Ambassador
March 2026 - Present
As an Intellectual Ambassador, my role is to promote thoughtful engagement with Islam through philosophy, theology, and contemporary intellectual discussions. This includes addressing modern challenges such as atheism, scientism, and moral relativism while presenting Islam as a coherent and intellectually grounded worldview.
My responsibility is to share knowledge with wider communities through writing, lectures, and educational content, while helping bridge the gap between academic scholarship and public understanding. Through this role, I aim to contribute to intellectual daʿwah, encourage critical thinking, and support the revival of the Islamic tradition of integrating revelation, reason, and reflection in the pursuit of truth.

Teaching and academic focus.
My academic work broadly focuses on the philosophical and theological foundations of knowledge from an Islamic perspective. I am particularly interested in the relationship between Islam, philosophy, psychology, and modern science. My projects explore themes such as the philosophy of science, the limits of scientism, the nature of consciousness, objective morality, and the integration of revelation, reason, and empirical inquiry within a coherent Islamic worldview. The aim of this research is not merely apologetic, but to contribute to a deeper intellectual framework that can help contemporary Muslims, especially students and young thinkers engage modern philosophical and scientific challenges while remaining grounded in the Islamic intellectual tradition.
