This book is the first to explore and highlight the history of the
plants mentioned in the Qur’an, many of which are part of our
everyday life, from pomegranates and grapes to ginger and garlic.
Author Shahina A. Ghazanfar explores the context in which these
plants are mentioned in the Qur’an - mainly as food plants, as
well as for medicinal use, use in beauty, fragrance or for shade.
Shahina’s in-depth research for this book has led to new findings
in our knowledge of the historical and cultural significance of
these plants, their traditional and present uses, as well as
detailed exploration of the context in which they are mentioned in
the Qur’an. The main section of the book highlights thirty of the
plants most prominent in the Qur’an, with details on where the
plant is mentioned in the Qur’an text, detailed etymology,
cultural history, and botanical description. Each of these plants
are beautifully illustrated with unique botanical paintings by
artist Sue Wickison, drawn from living specimens in the wild. The
authors take us on a fascinating journey through the cultural
history of these important plants, brought to life with vivid and
stunningly detailed botanical paintings.
