Biography
Dr Shoaib Ahmed Malik is Assistant Professor at Zayed University in Dubai. He obtained his BEng in Chemical Engineering as the top graduate in his cohort from the University of Bath. He then went on to do a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham on a full scholarship. Upon graduating in 2015, he joined several programs at various Islamic institutions from which he gained certification in hadiths and theology. He recently obtained a PGCE from the University of Nottingham, and an MSc in Philosophy of Science and Religion from the University of Edinburgh. He is currently doing an Islamic seminary program at Al Balagh Academy.
After completing his study in chemical engineering, his research has shifted entirely to the realms of atheism, science and religion, and Islamic theology. He has published articles in international journals such as Zygon, Journal of Religious Ethics, and Philosophy. He has book chapters with academic publishers such as Routledge, Cambridge University Press, and Palgrave. He published a short monograph on Atheism and Islam (2018) with Kalam Research and Media, and has a complete monograph out with Routledge’s Science and Religion series on the topic of Islam and Evolution (Open Access, 2021). The following are upcoming titles:
- Eight Classical Perspectives on Islam and Science (Editor, Routledge, Open Access, 2023)
- A Textbook on Islam and Evolution (Author, Routledge, Open Access, 2023)
