A valuable addition

"Scientific indications in the Holy Koran" is an excellent and timely publication , based on a research project 1985-90, suitable for the young thinking minds, that is, the present generation indoctrinated by western science, literature and methodology, based on materialism.

The new breed of macro- and micro-scientists worldwide dealing with the space above and within , chaos, and the dark matter or the universe, are stuck up for explanations, down at the hair-splitting level, and are turning to mystic literature existing for hundreds of years and trying to decode signals therein, which seem familiar to them now.

One person was missing in the research board, a Sufi or mystic, to balance the rich contributions of the scientists and religious teachers.

Also, science has progressed since the mid- and late 80s, as the members of the Board would themselves confirm. So, for the tertiary readers, some footnotes, and small-print paragraphs would be welcome.

The Islamic Foundation deserves hearty recognition and endorsement for undertaking a noble reorientation project for the present and future generations.
