Independent Researcher in Qur’anic Studies, Metaphysics, and Philosophy of Science
My work investigates reality, meaning, knowledge, human existence, and responsibility through a Qur’an-centered philosophical inquiry in sustained dialogue with classical hermeneutics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of science.
