His major publications include A Fundamental Fear (which, despite being banned by the Malaysian government, is now in its third English edition), Recalling the Caliphate, and he is co-editor (with AbdoolKarim Vakil) of the volume Thinking Through Islamophobia. He is also the founding editor of the journal ReOrient and curator of the Critical Muslim Studies project criticalmuslimstudies.co.uk, which, in addition to the journal, includes the Radio ReOrient podcast and the Reorientations blog.
