Collection: Honey
Modern research recognizes honey as a natural antibiotic, effective in healing wounds and treating infections. You may independently confirm this by conducting a research.
[Quran 16:68] and [Quran 16:69]
وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ * ثُمَّ كُلِي مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
And your Lord inspired the bee, saying: "Take your habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect. * Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give a thought.
The term "Shefa شِفَاءٌ" (healing) specifically points to the medicinal benefits of honey, rather than its nutritional value.
Or were they created by nothing, or are they [their own] creators?
[QURAN 52:35]
Or did they create the Heavens and the Earth? Rather, they are not certain.
[QURAN 52:36]
Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord, or are they in control [of everything]?
[QURAN 52:37]
Or do they have a stairway [into the Heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear proof.
[QURAN 52:38]
