I want to record my learning while it is happening: the questions, the confusion, the excitement, and the moments when something begins to make sense. Science, philosophy, psychology, the Qur’an and ordinary life do not stay in separate compartments in my mind. One question takes me into another.
This is a student’s diary, not a collection of final verdicts. I am trying sincerely, with the capacity Allah Subhanahu wa Taala has given me. I may return to an earlier thought, find a mistake, or understand it differently. That is part of what I want to preserve here.
The diary follows the movement of the questions. The threads bring related entries together; the reading pages make it easier to find the passages and references behind them. You do not have to agree with my conclusions to follow the journey.
