We're made from clay but also from a spirit that is not of this world. Negotiations between the two are always in session. Meanwhile, you may find here some reviews, commentary, translations, links to various articles, excerpted quotes, exegesis, and anything else that has a chance to edify, inspire, remind, or kindle. Thanks for dropping by.

Born and raised in Chicago and its environs, Ibrahim Abusharif, PhD, is a professor in the journalism and strategic communication program at Northwestern University in Qatar. His research interests include the intersection of media and culture; digital media and religious authority; literary journalism; media in the Arab world; and religion and media. He is also a journalist and a writer of non-fiction and fiction. His articles have appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines, both print and online. He has also worked closely on translation projects of the Quran. He has a masters in journalism and doctorate in religious and Islamic studies. And he finds it very interesting to write about himself in the third person like this. It's possible he'll revise this introduction and be more personable. But "not now!" he says.

The spiritual path is in one sense not so much a journey as a gradual attunement of the soul to the presence of the Spirit, a gradual reconciliation between the natural and the supernatural, between the lower waters and the upper waters, between mind and intellect, between Moses and al-Khidr.
