Plants, animals, rivers, oceans and the universe are viewed from a totally new and exciting point of view. The book, hailed as path breaking, presents new facets of Nature in everyday life. Nature is portrayed in the most comprehensive manner like never before by quoting extensively from the Qur’an. The Creator of Nature himself speaks about Nature in His book, the Qur’an. For the first time, this book presents the Islamic view on Nature.<br/>FOOD FOR THE MIND<br/>Nature is most often spoken for its beauty or in the context of its importance to the environment. The utility of Nature for the health and physical well-being of human beings has been highlighted in books, magazines, television, internet and every kind of media. The importance of Nature for the mental well-being and spiritual advancement of individuals is seldom spoken about. Comprehending Nature in the right perspective can elevate your thinking and invigorate your mind. Our vision will transcend the mundane realities and elevate our thoughts beyond the realms of external appearance. We move into a world, beyond life. Contemplation of the unique aspects of Nature brings us closer to God. Nature purifies our mind and our heart and this purification is not just biological or aesthetic.<br/>INTERESTING TO READ<br/>This book brings out the myriad facets of Nature in the most exhilarating manner.

It astounds us with so many rare, strange and fascinating facts.

A very perceptive approach to the study of the Qur’an…………this book deserves not only admiration but also warm appreciation.” ( Dr. Abdul Ghaffar Khan in the Young Muslim Digest of Sept. 2007)<br/>2)“This book compresses a lot of such insights between the covers and makes it a useful compendium of references to Nature. The book has been produced with a commendable sophistry.” (Mr. Maqbool Ahmed Siraj in the Islamic Voice of May 2007)
