Every person in the world is respectable because he is a human being. All religions of the world have taught respect for humanity. It will not be wrong if we say that respect is the common heritage of humanity living in the world. Mutual respect is the secret and distinction of the development of nations. How many nations and cultures became enviable simply because they respected each other? In the present era, the dignity of humanity is being trampled everywhere. The murder market is hot everywhere. The standards of human respect are changing, sincerity, truth, human equality, and values are being replaced by deceit, greed, envy, and selfishness. And it is done according to the resources. Man is the best of creation and legitimate respect and honor is his basic right. Therefore, no one can see his self-respect being undermined. That's why it has become very important to bring up topics like respect for humanity and explain the position and status of human beings in the light of religious books so that the respect and dignity of human beings are being trampled underfoot today, people should be made aware of the true status and status of human beings should be informed so that the importance of human blood can be estimated. An attempt will be made in this paper to present a comparative review regarding the respect and reverence that human has for Islam and Hinduism.

The research work aim to explore the flora of Bannu and get information and report the ethnobotanical knowledge of prevalent medicinal flora of the districtBannu and the adjoining area of FR-Bannu area in 2013-15. As a whole about 400 plant species belonging to 271 genera 90 families were collected, and conserved in Herbarium of Botany Department U.S.T, Bannu.The plants were collected from different villages, and organized alphabetically after identication, along with their botanical, English, local and family names, explanations, part used, flowering period, chemicals constituents, methods of applications of their parts and medicinal importance. Most of the plants reported here were wild some were cultivated. While other were wild as well as cultivated plants withe medicinal values. Similarly large number of plants were used asfodder, fuel, wood for furniture and also as making of ropes. There were found plants with edible fruits e.g. Mangifera indica, Pyrus malus etc. Several plants were classified as ornamental flora while some were of use as fencing and hedging.Out of400 collected flora 60 plants were observed as vegetables i.e. Lycopersicon esculentum, Allium cepa, Allium sativa, Brassica, Chenopodium, Solanum, Cucurbita,Capsicum, Mentha, Cucumis and Amaranthus whilst some plants are classified as cereal crops i.e. wheat, maize, oat and rice. In this way whole of the flora are classified as in various groups.

While the remaining 13 famlies have one genus with single species each. The present study also deals with poisonous plants of the area, in which 87 poisonous spp of plants belonging to 54 genera were reported. Important genera reported were Brassica 6 species (11.11%), Lathyrus 5 spp(9.26%),Euphorbia and Astragalus were with 4 spp with 7.40%. Ranunculus, Jatropha, Solanum, Sorghum and Datura were with 3 spp (5.56%) while Taxus, Melilotus, Chenopodium, Amaranthus and Allium have 2 spp (3.70%) each. These 15 genera contribute 48 species (55.17 %) while the 39 genera has single species each and contribute 44.83% to the total poisonous flora of the research area. Other plants were Cannabis sativa, Datura stramonium L., D. metel L., Jatropha curcas, Taraxacum officinale, Taxus baccata L., and Xanthium strumarium. In the present study the genetic diversity of the species in relation to their stem, leaves, root, flower, inflorescence, calyx. Chaorlla, androcium, gynoecium, fruit and seed of the local flora of Bannu and FR Banuu were also studied, it was found that the most common color are grey, brown and milky. The researcher has also noticed great diversity in vegetative and reproductive characteristics of the local flora.
