My expertise in Islamic theology has been cultivated through rigorous philological training under esteemed professors at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem's Department of Arabic Language and Literature. Notably, I learned from distinguished scholars, some honored with the Israel Prize in Middle Eastern Studies and Linguistics, including Prof. Yehoshua Blau, Prof. Moshe Piamenta, Prof. Shmuel Moreh, Prof. Hava Lazarus-Yafeh, Prof. Yohanan Friedmann, Prof. Sarah Stroumsa, Prof. Ella Landau-Tasseron, Prof. Haggai Ben-Shammai, Prof. Etan Kohlberg, Prof. Isaac Hasson, Prof. Simon Hopkins, and Prof. Menahem Milson. 

My academic journey began with a profound study of traditionalist scholars Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328) and his disciple Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 1350) under the guidance of Prof. Michael Winter and Prof. Binyamin Abrahamov at Bar-Ilan University. Expanding my research, I explored the works of other theologians like Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal (d. 855), Abū Yaʽlā (d. 1066), and Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 1201). Focusing on traditionalist Islamic theology rooted in Hadith literature, I meticulously analyze these texts and explore the social networks that transmitted them, integrating narratology and gesture studies. 

My work has garnered international attention, cited by scholars from diverse Muslim-majority countries. In 2018, my book "Anthropomorphism in Islam: The Challenge of Traditionalism (700–1350)" was published by Edinburgh University Press, delving into theological debates around divine attributes. Furthermore, an Arabic translation of this work, titled "التشبيه في تاريخ الأسلام," was published by Dār al-Rawāfid in 2023, marking a significant achievement.
