Biography/History:

Shoaib Ahmed Malik is Lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh. With a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham and another in Theology from the University of St Mary's, Twickenham, Shoaib stands at the crossroads of science and religion. His monograph work, Islam and Evolution: Al-Ghazαl+ and the Modern Evolutionary Paradigm, was acclaimed as the foremost academic contribution to the field of science and religion, receiving recognition from the International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR) in 2022. He holds the position of Trustee at the ISSR and serves on the editorial board of Theology and Science. David Solomon Jalajel is a researcher at King Saud University's Prince Sultan Research Institute. He holds a PhD in Islamic and Arabic Studies from the University of the Western Cape. He also holds the Higher Specialization in Islamic Law and the Higher Specialization in Arabic from the Dαr al-Ulkm, Strand. Jalajel's research focuses on the interface between traditional Islamic frameworks and contemporary issues, particularly in the sciences. His monograph work, Islam and Biological Evolution: Exploring Classical Sources and Methodologies, was a pioneering exploration into the implications that traditional Sunn+ approaches to hermeneutics and metaphysics could have on Muslim reception of evolution.
