The Evolution Deceit : The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism and its Ideological Background

Paperback 278 pages by Harun Yahya

This Latest excellently bound book is the 8th Edition and has been Revised, Updated and Expanded with over 100 Colour photographs.

Why the Theory of Evolution? For some people the theory of evolution or Darwinism has only scientific connotations, withseemingly no direct implication in their daily lives. This is, of course, a common misunderstanding. Far beyond just being an issue within the framework of the biological sciences, the theory of evolution constitutes the underpinning of a deceptive philosophy that has held sway over a large number ofpeople: Materialism. Materialist philosophy, which accepts only the existence of matter and presupposes man to be ‘a heap of matter’, asserts that he is no more than an animal, with ‘conflict’ the sole rule of his existence. Although propagated as a modern philosophy based on science, materialism is in fact an ancient dogma with no scientific basis. Conceived in Ancient Greece, the dogma was rediscovered by the atheistic philosophers of the 18th century. It was then implanted in the 19th century into several science disciplines by thinkers such as Karl Marx, Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud. In other words science was distorted to make room for materialism.

Modern scientific discoveries reveal over and over again that the popular belief associating Darwinism with science is false. Scientific evidence refutes Darwinism comprehensively and reveals that the origin of our existence is not evolution but creation. God has created the universe, all living things and man. This book has been written to make this fact known to people. Since its first publication, originally in Turkey and then in many other countries, millions of people have read and appreciated the book.

The Fiqh of Medicine - Responses in Islamic Jurisprudence to developments in Medical Science

Paperback - 368 pages

by Dr Ahmed Abdel Aziz Yacoub

Medical science has made remarkable developments over the last half century. This book examines in depth a wide range of legal and moral aspects of responsibility and medical liability within the Islamic context. Particular reference is made to euthanasia, prevention and termination of pregnancy, reproduction and cloning, and transplantation. What are the bases in Fiqh that guide medical practitioners in their daily work as they avail themselves of developments in medical science? This book may well prove to be a standard reference for the medical profession and fuqaha (jurists).

For more than a decade the author of this work, Dr. Ahmed Abdel Aziz Yacoub, worked very hard in two different fields. First, as a specialist heart surgeon in the course of which he directly encountered problems associated with the development of medical science. Second, he embarked on the study of law as an undergraduate student at Cairo University (Khartoum Branch), and as a postgraduate student at the University of Khartoum at which he earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees. He then proceeded to study for a doctoral degree at the University of London, where his research and analysis of vast material on medical science and law earned him a PhD in jurisprudence, in July 2000. This book derives from that PhD thesis.

Medieval Islamic Medicine (New Edinburgh Islamic Surveys)
Paperback 240 pages by Peter E. Portmann and Emilie Savage Smith

Book Description: The medical tradition that developed in the lands of Islam during the medieval period (c. 650--1500) has, like few others, influenced the fates and fortunes of countless human beings. It is the story of contact and cultural exchange across countries and creeds, affecting caliphs, kings, courtiers, courtesans, and the common crowd. In addition to being fascinating in its own right, it formed the roots from which modern Western medicine arose. Contrary to the stereotypical picture, medieval Islamic medicine was not simply a conduit for Greek ideas, but was a locus for innovation and change.

The book is organised around five topics: the emergence of medieval Islamic medicine and its intense cross-pollination with other cultures, the theoretical medical framework, the function of physicians within the larger society, the medical care as seen through preserved case histories, and the role of magic and devout religious invocations in scholarly as well as everyday medicine. A concluding chapter on the 'afterlife' concerns the impact of medieval Islamic medicine upon the European medical tradition and its continued practice today. The aim of this book is not to compress the entire history of medieval Islamic medicine into a single small volume. Rather, it presents an overview, highlighted with particular examples.

Review:
An outstanding contribution to a very important field. While there has been a great deal of new research on premodern medical texts from the Islamic world, there are few surveys written for a broader public. This text will make a lasting contribution to the history of science in general, and to the study of premodern Islamic medicine in particular.---Jonathan Brockopp, Pennsylvania State University

Evolution Theory and Islam byby Nu Ha Mim Keller

Paperback booklet - 14 pages

Book Extract: Allah alone is Master of Existence. He alone causes all that is to be and not to be. Causes are without effect in themselves, but rather both cause and effect are created by Him. The causes and the effects of all processes, including those through which plant and animal species are individuated, are His work alone.

To ascribe efficacy to anything but His action, whether believing that causes (a) bring about effects in and of themselves; or (b) bring about effects in and of themselves through a capacity Allah has placed in them, is to ascribe associates to Allah (shirk). Such beliefs seem to be entailed in the literal understanding of "natural selection" and "random mutation," and other evolutionary concepts, unless we understand these processes as figurative causes, while realizing that Allah alone is the agent. This is apart from the consideration of whether they are true or not.

The Key to Medicine and a Guide for Students - (Miftah al-tibb wa-minhaj al-tullab)

Paperback - 320 pages

About this book

As the title indicates, The Key to Medicine and a Guide for Students was an introduction to medicine, intended for students. After extolling the virtues of having a profession in general and of medicine in particular, Ibn Hindu (d. 423/1032) discusses various disciplines that a medical student should be familiar with, including a lengthy digression into philosophy and logic. He then deals with matters specifically medical, devoting separate sections to anatomy, diseases, pulse, and names of medicinal substances.

The book was written in the early 11th century by a physician who was also the author of a treatise on philosophy and famous for his Arabic poetry – his anthology is said to have amounted to 15,000 couplets or more! For a medieval work, Ibn Hindu’s book is refreshingly meticulous in its analysis and modern in its outlook.
