Sabariah Mohamed Hussen

Sabariah Hussin is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Religion, focusing on the History of Religious Studies with an emphasis on Islamic Studies and Thought. Her research is centered on tracing the history of Islamic societies in Southeast Asia, examining their political ideas, cultural practices, and environmental interactions. A unique aspect of her work is exploring the connections between these societies and the concepts of eschatology and Islamic apocalypticism in the context of environmental crises. By analyzing how these themes influence and are influenced by historical and cultural contexts, Sabariah offers new insights into how visions of the end times shape religious and social dynamics. Her interdisciplinary approach blends historical analysis with environmental studies and gender perspectives, providing a rich and nuanced understanding of the region's Islamic heritage.
