Science and Islam, a fascinating and clearly written book.
*New Scientist*
This is a delightful and approachable book, packed with surprises
and treats and offered by a writer whose passion for the subject
does not daunt his objectivity.
*Wharf*
Refreshingly different ....Masood's [book] emphasis on context,
combined with his easy prose, measured self-confident tone, and an
effort to inject compelling human drama into the narrative, makes
the present book - for the most part - wonderfully captivating.
