About This Book

This book looks at verses of the Qur'an that relate to water, the seas, and living creatures, and compares them with modern scientific findings. It starts from the Qur'anic statement that every living thing was made from water, then turns to other water-related phenomena the Qur'an mentions.

The book presents these points as evidence that the Qur'an speaks to every age, noting that they were revealed to people in the Arabian desert who had no means of studying the oceans. As the title indicates, animals are also among its subjects.
