About This Site
This is a personal website designed to archive my writings, mostly on British Islam, alongside other miscellanea. The blog will feature occasional essays reflecting on Muslim life in the UK and elsewhere.

Biodata
I currently work as Commissioning Editor at Kube Books. During 2006/7, I was honoured to serve as the national Director of the City Circle in London. I’m also a writer and researcher and have done academic and policy work, journalism and book reviews, chiefly on British Muslims. I am also a member of Islamica Magazine’s Editorial Board.
I was born in 1968 and have been a Muslim since 1990, and am not very keen to talk publicly about my personal faith, seeing it as more of a private matter. I’ve been married since 1997 to Fozia and have two children.

I would also like to thank all publishers and editors for allowing me to reproduce any published material. And for its urgency, integrity, acuity and alacrity, the BBRC is a constant spur to me.
