Who is Edip Yüksel?
Edip Yuksel is an intellectual considered one of the prime figures in the modern Islamic reform and Quranism movements. Author of many books on the Qur'an and Islam, he has gained much attention through his works and speeches.
His main aim, as stated throughout his writings, is to spread an Islamic understanding that is rational, progressive, and humanistic, which in his eyes can only be gained through accepting the Qur'an as the only Divine authority. He is also a promoter of Theistic evolution, an understanding he gets from science and the Qur'an, instead of Creationism. Specifically, Yuksel is critical of Islamic creationists such as Harun Yahya. Yuksel is a former member of United Submitters International.
