| description |
Species diversity has been the hallmark of biosphere and invaluable resource for human being
as well as for the natural environment. In order to appreciate and conserve these diverse species which are
constituents of nature, different values from different frames of references have been proffered. This
study examines biological diversity from the Qur‘anic perspective in an attempt to explicate the kinds of
value conferred by the Qur‘an on non-human species, particularly among the animals and plants.
Collating ayat (verses) of the Qur‘an related to nonhuman species and analyzing key conceptual terms the
Qur‘an employs in reference to their diversity, the study found that nonhuman species are presented in the
Qur‘an as signs of God and as communities of worshipers worthy of existence and conservation. |
