Dactyloscopy or Finger-printing


It was in the 14th century Iran that finger prints were recognised first as being unique to individuals (but see below the last ref.) but the real pioneering work was done by one Azizul-Haque (Khan Bahadur Aziz-ul-Haque), a police officer working under Sir Edward Henry to establish that science now used for identifying criminals. Azizul Haque was a brilliant mathematician to come up with such work and another Indian Police officer worked with him by the name of Hem Chander Bose (Roy Bahadur Hem Chandr Bose). (There is a proposal to give credit to these individuals to call this scientific method as Henry-Hem-AzizulHaque method: Note here Henry added for being the superior )
In the present era of technological advances, perhaps other systems of anthropometric analysis may point to the use of 'DNA' as more correct but (without going into scientific discussion of uses abuses misuses and errors of detection etc.) the claim has been made before that:
NO TWO FINGER PRINTS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE.
Now let me draw your attention to the following:
"Does man think that We cannot (resurrect him and) bring his bones together again?
Yea, indeed We are able to make whole his very finger-tips" (Sura 'Al-Qiyama', 75th chapter Verses 3 and 4 of Qur'an-el-Kareem.
 Something to think about!!

Yes, it may have two ways of understanding for us. One: as insignificant and as little as a fingertip (like we say in Urdu chutki bher)
and two: a small but highly significant and highly differentiable fingertip
both ways it glorifies the Almighty Creator.
Those Sahaba kiraam who recited this first may not have known the type of significance as we do today
