The book is a new and important addition to Quranic Literature. It gives comprehensive information about the plant and animal species cited in the verses of Holy Quran with respect to their biological status, specific characteristics, economic importance and their roles played in evolution and development of human cultures. All the respective verses citing the names of plants and animals or their products have been mentioned in the book and commented upon.

The assigning of the proper biological status to them and their specific description have in a better way clarified the events associated with them and the messages and lessons conveyed through them.

The book shall prove very useful to the scholars of the Quran and other religious scriptures who integrate science and religion.
