Mohammed Rustom (born 1980) is a Canadian Islamic scholar and full professor of Islamic studies and global philosophy at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.[1] His research interests include Sufism, Islamic philosophy, Qur’anic exegesis and cross-cultural philosophy.[2]
Biography
Rustom was born in 1980 in Toronto, Canada in a Muslim family.[3] His family came to Canada in the 1970s from Tanzania. However, they trace their origins to the Indian state of Gujarat. His father had an accounting firm and young Rustom was supposed to join it at a certain point of his life. Nevertheless, he chose to obtain degrees in humanities and graduated from the University of Toronto in 2004 with a BA in Islamic studies and philosophy. He then earned his PhD in Islamic philosophy and literature from the same university in 2009. That same year he was offered a position at Carleton University. He took the position and finally settled in Ottawa.[1] Rustom has studied Islamic philosophy under such prominent figures as Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Todd Lawson, William Chittick, and Michael Marmura. He duly acknowledges his debt to these scholars "as being the main catalyst" behind his interest in Islamic philosophy and Sufism.[3]
