Holy Quran is the sacred scripture of Islam, revealed to the Arabian unlettered (ummi) prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) more than fourteen hundred years ago. Being a bringer of guidance to the believers in their every walk of life, it contains a very wide-ranging list of injunctions. One of the most peculiar features of the Quranic verses is their approach towards diverse aspects ranging from the historical facts to the facts about Nature. A remarkable feature about the Quranic verses is that it grippingly contains a broad range of verses, which directly call human beings to observe, reflect and make use of the material nature on one hand and realize the powers of the Originator and Creator on the other. Hundreds of the verses of Holy Quran repeatedly speak and reveal about the various manifestations of nature. The Quranic exemplification of the material nature is unique in its approach, usefulness and essence. The book is not only useful for the scholars and students of Islamic Studies, Oriental Studies, Religion but also for people in general.It is hoped, that,the work prove to be beneficial for all.
