Honey; Food and Medicine; God's Pharmacy

 

Allah has mentioned honey in the Holy Qur'an so beautifully that the intellect is stunned; In Surah Muhammad, verse 15, it is said that in Paradise "there are rivers of clear honey".

There is a surah in Quran in the name of the honey bee, where it is said in verse 69 of the Surah Al-Nahl that "from the belly of it (the honey bee) comes out a colorful drinkable substance in which there is healing for people".

 

The miracle is that honey comes out of the belly of the bee on this earth. A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers, and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. And its rivers will be flowing in Paradise. Isn't it mind-boggling good news? Allah (swt) has mentioned this blessing and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said, "Hold on to two healing things, one is honey, the other is the Holy Qur'an." Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 3452

Bukhari Hadith 5684
