Among his awards and recognitions are a New Directions Fellowship from the Mellon Foundation, an Honorable Mention for the Modern Language Association's William Riley Parker Prize, and a James Holly Hanford Award for an outstanding book on poet John Milton.

Mohamed's academic writing focuses on early modern English literature, as in his books Sovereignty (2020); Milton and the Post-secular Present (2011); In the Anteroom of Divinity (2008); Milton and Questions of History (2012), co-edited with Mary Nyquist; and Milton's Modernities (2017), co-edited with Patrick Fadely. He is a past president of the Milton Society of America and editorial board member of the journals Milton Studies, ELH, Literature and Theology, and Workplace: A Journal for Academic Labor. Responding to widespread defunding of public higher education and of the humanities in particular, often referred to as the "crisis in the humanities," he co-edited with Gordon Hutner the volume A New Deal for the Humanities: Liberal Arts and the Future of Public Higher Education (2016). Ideas with which Mohamed is associated are postsecularism and tyrannicide.
Mohamed is an Egyptian-Canadian born in Edmonton, Alberta.[10] He currently lives in Wilton, Connecticut with his wife, Sally, and two daughters.[11]
