Abstract: Islam is the most all-encompassing religion, which offers the flexibility to adapt to new technologies and a comprehensive approach to living. In Islam, the ethical principles of biomedical ethics are connected to the Holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The current research is a component of the checklist of medicinal plants and their uses recorded in the Holy Quran. Approximately 14 plant species from various families have been identified, each possessing unique medicinal qualities, chemical compositions, and their global distribution. This study will provide detailed information regarding the extensive variety of plants referenced in the Holy Quran and Hadith, categorizing them as sacred plants such as fig, olive, date palm, and pomegranate, or aromatic plants such as ginger and basil, alongside nutritious plants like onion and garlic. Centuries ago, the Quran highlighted the beneficial aspects of numerous food items, and contemporary scientists have discovered some of these through extensive research, helping to appreciate the magnificence of God. It is concluded that herbal medicines are increasingly utilized worldwide due to their greater cultural acceptance, minimal harmful effects, and either negligible or significantly reduced side effects. KEYWORDS: Medicinal Plants, Holy Quran, Islamic medicine, Medicinal Constituents and their uses.
