Since I (also) switched to hcommons.social a few days ago, here is my third #introduction!
I am a PhD student in Islamic and Arabic Studies in Münster, Germany, working on practices of evidence and strategies of verification of prophetic descent in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century North Africa. In particular, I am examining texts on a particular descent community claiming prophetic descent: the descendants of ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jilānī, from a translocal perspective.
Also: I am excited to see something growing here that I didn't think was possible a few months ago. Glad to be here with you all!
fyi: I have enabled automatic deletion of posts after one month.
