Undoubtedly, this book is a reliable reference work not only in the Islamic literature but for researches and students in the medical science as it analyses all that they should know from the history of embry ology and the latest findings in the field. Also, the author proves with convincing facts that the stand points of the Quran and the Hadiths narratives are timeless. It is also remarkable that the book gives clarity on this area which is surprisingly lacking in many studies. (Dr PA Kabeer in Foreword)
