Hi 👋 I'm Dr. Shoaib, your instructor for this course

I'm a Lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Divinity, with two PhDs - one in Chemical Engineering and another in Theology. I've taught students across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, always aiming to connect Islamic theology with the world of science and philosophy.

Over the years, I’ve studied classical Arabic texts and theology under qualified scholars, and written extensively on the intersection of Islam and science. My book “Islam and Evolution” was awarded best academic work on science and religion by the ISSR in 2022.

This course brings together everything I’ve learned - from classical scholarship to modern scientific insights - so you can confidently understand and explain why belief in God makes sense, both rationally and spiritually.
