Honey
Modern Scientific Discovery:
Honey has been confirmed by modern medicine as a natural healing agent with powerful antibacterial, antifungal, and wound-healing properties. What was once traditional knowledge is now supported by extensive scientific research.
Key Scientific Facts:
Honey kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
It speeds up wound healing and is used in treatments for burns, ulcers, and infections.
It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and enzymes that strengthen the immune system.
These discoveries have only been fully recognized in recent decades, yet the Qur’ān described honey’s healing role more than 1400 years ago.
Qur’ānic Revelation 1400 years ago:
The Inspiration to Bees
"And your Lord inspired the bees: “Make ˹your˺ homes in the mountains, the trees, and in what people construct,"
(Qur’ān 16:68)
Honey’s Healing Properties
“Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord made easy for you. From their bellies comes forth a drink of varying colors, in which there is healing for people. Surely in that is a sign for those who reflect.”
(Qur’ān 16:69)
The Qur’ān’s reference to honey as a healing agent long before modern science proves its divine knowledge. Today’s medical research confirms what was revealed 1400 years ago: in honey, there truly is healing for mankind.
