Plants in Islamic culture!!

Another beautiful thread from Bayt Al Fann - forget the chaos in Westminster and immerse yourself in the achievements of these Islamic scholars of botany.

Beautiful 🙏🏽 Everyone should follow Bayt Al Fann. So much learning from one site ❤️

Amazing and beautiful

This is so beautiful
