PREFACE
Thanks to Allah Almighty for guiding us to Islam, enlightening our hearts with true belief, discarding all grief, dispelled worries, and freed our homeland. This series comes following fifteen years of the idea of establishing the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences and after its participation in local and regional book exhibitions where our volumes of Islamic Medicine were greatly appreciated by the visitors. However, because of the soaring cost of paper and publication, the individual book keeping has become very difficult, especially in the non-Gulf Arabic and Islamic countries, as bread earning receives the first priority of the inhabitants of these countries. Keeping in view the fact that the individuals need to be informed, and educated, of the important matter to make them effective member of their community and also a messenger to other communities, it is vital to provide them the contents of these conferences in a simplified way to enable them to carry along and comprehend the scientific purport. In order to facilitate the possession of these books by the individuals, the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences has decided to issue a series of publications under the title "The Cultural Series of the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences". Although the Organization is shouldering the largest share of the cost of production and publication of these books, still these are out of reach of a large section of Muslim individuals, due to escalating cost of living. The great sum of money available to the Organization is spent in bringing together and collecting the prominent thinkers of our Islamic nation in order to achieve appropriate opinions and convisions of the Islamic Scientists about right topics that need insight and the true objective word. And, subsequently, to present this information to every individual willing to increase his/her knowledge about the doctrinal writings in scientific medicine, as this prominent group of writers/thinkers sees this as an ordinance and a religious obligation to provide for all the Muslims, and to disseminate the message to the largest number of the people of this nation. |

This series will include a group of books, each dealing with specific topic, as collected from the articles written under the respective domains and previously published in the Proceedings of the Islamic Medicine Conferences held under the auspices of the Organization. Moreover, all these publications shall remain concerned with one vital topic, that is, the Islamic Medicine. By doing so, we hope to have shouldered the burden off the Arabic/Islamic reader to enable him/her to own the right material and hoping to have clarified a lot of mystery about the subject of Islamic Medicine to the Muslim and Arab readers.
