I wanted to do my #Introduction as I am excited to finally make the move. I’m a #NewYork based #LeftLibertarian and #ProgressiveMuslim. I’m currently studying the South Asian #Hanafi school of theology & jurisprudence as well as a disciple of the #Chishti #Sufi Order. I mostly post about #VirtueEthics #DivineLove #LiberatedSociety and South Asian and South Asian-Diaspora #Muslim communities.

As in other holy cities, money is made with religion or religious articles - here in Ajmer/ Rajasthan (India) on the way to the shrine for the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.
