Message: <blockquote data-quote="ibnanv" data-source="post: 10514381" data-attributes="member: 218596"> [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]More than 1,400 years ago Allah and His Messenger, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, told us that honey can heal a variety of medical problems.[/FONT] [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Allah says in the  Qur’an, “And the Lord inspired the bee, saying: Take your habitations in  the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect. Then, eat of all  fruits and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you).’ There  comes forth from their bellies a drink of varying colour wherein is  healing for men. Verily in this is indeed a sign for people who think.”  (16:68-69)[/FONT] [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,  has also told us of the healing found within honey for a variety of  medical problems, including stomach ailments. One hadith, reported by  Bukhari, states that a man came to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,  because his brother had a stomach disorder. The Prophet said, “Let him  drink honey.” The man returned a second time, saying his brother had  stomach disorder, and again the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, said, “Let him drink honey.” He returned a third time, saying again that his brother had stomach disorder. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,  responded again, “Let him drink honey.” The man returned and said, “I  have done that.” The Prophet then responded, “Allah has said the truth,  but your brother’s stomach has told a lie. Let him drink honey.” He  drank it and was cured.[/FONT] [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Tirmithi, Ibn Majah and  Baihaqi also reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,  said, “Make use of the two remedies: honey and the Qur’an.”[/FONT] [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Modern medicine is only  just learning of this fact. Traditional uses of honey have included  honey mixed with lemon for sore throats. Honey coats the throat and  reduces throat irritation. Research has already shown that honey blocks  the growth of oral bacteria. Honey has also been used for stomach pains  and problems. Modern research shows that honey is effective when used in  the treatment of gastric or peptic stomach ulcers. Research has also  revealed that honey is effective in the treatment of various wounds and  infections because of its anti-microbial (anti-bacterial, anti-viral and  anti-fungal) properties.[/FONT] [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Researchers are not  absolutely sure why honey heals but they are learning new things about  honey every day. We do know that honey contains a variety of sugars and  minerals. Honey is also considered an antioxidant. This means it allows  the blood to circulate better and provide more oxygen to areas of the  body such as the brain. Honey can also be used externally to promote  healing when applied to wounds, even post-operative wounds. Honey has  also been effective in its use to treat burns. It has even been shown to  be low in calories and useful as a sweetener for diabetics, people with  heart disease or those overweight.[/FONT] [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Although there is  healing in honey for a variety of medical disorders, certain precautions  should also be taken. Children under the age of one year should never  be given honey due to the possibility of infant botulism. This type of  food poisoning can be deadly, however, it only seems to affect infants  under one year of age. Also, if you have any known allergies to specific  plants, then you should make sure the honey you are using is not made  from that plant. People with allergies to bee stings should also be  careful when using other bee-related products such as propolis or royal  jelly. If these precautions are followed, then honey may provide healing  for you.[/FONT]   [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]As Muslims, we must acknowledge and accept that Allah and His Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,  know better and have revealed the truth. We should, therefore, accept  that honey can heal and make use of it. We should study the research  that is available, not to confirm or deny the truth that has been  revealed by Allah and His Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, but to learn of new ways we can use honey.[/FONT] </blockquote>
