Portrait of Ozair Khan

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 research experience relating to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and various regions of Africa, as well as engagement with Syrian religious and civil society actors. 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, primarily in Islamic history and fiqh, alongside some of my more formal published work. I also occasionally write on topics related to spirituality, religious practice, and reflections arising from my academic and personal studies.
