HONEY MIRACLE

�Your Lord inspired the bee saying: �.�eat of all the produce of the earth, and find with skill the spacious paths of your Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: surely in this there is a Sign for those who would give thought.� (Surah An-Nahl, 69 - The Meaning of the Qur�an)

It has only become possible only in the last few years, with the improvements in research techniques, to analyse the content of the honey and its significance as a food source. Many international magazines have used honey as a cover page story, while others have even gone further and prepared additional issues for this precious natural food.

Now let us look onto the details of this unbelievable nutrient produced by this very small animal that Allah has created: Honey is composed of sugars like glucose, fructose and minerals like magnesium, calcium, sodium, chlorine, sulphur, iron and phosphate.

In addition to these, honey includes Vitamins B1, B2, C, B5, and B3, their concentration differing according to pollen and nectar sources. Copper, iodine, iron and zinc also exist in it in small quantities, plus, several kinds of hormones.

�During the World Agriculture Conference held on 20-26 September, 1993, in China, treatments with honey derivatives were discussed. American scientists stressed that honey, royal jelly, pollen and �propolis� (bee resin) had the capability of curing many illnesses. One Romanian doctor stated that he used honey for the treatment of patients with cataracts, and 2002 of his 2094 patients recovered completely. Polish doctors also gave information about bee resin�s curative properties for diseases like haemorrhoids, skin problems, women�s illnesses and many others. Nowadays, apiculture and bee products are the object of research in developed countries.�

Scientists agree upon the fact that even a spoonful of honey is absolutely beneficial to the body, because the sugar molecules in the honey can turn other types of sugar (fructose to glucose) and despite its high acid concentration, it is easily digested even by the most sensitive stomachs. It also helps the kidneys function better. Another interesting aspect of honey is that, when it is compared with the same amount of sugar, it gives 40% less calories to the body. This quality of the honey prevents weight-gain.

Rapidly fusing with the blood: Honey enters the circulatory system in 7 minutes when taken with tepid water and 20 minutes when taken with cold water. The free sugar molecules in it make it easier for the brain to function.

Promotes production of blood: Honey functions as the energy store for new blood formation and helps anaemic people by speeding up this process. It helps in the purification and nourishment of blood. Blood circulation is regulated by it. It also has positive effects on capillary problems.

Friend of the stomach: Honey does not result in acidic or alcoholic fermentation because of its fast digestion. The free radicals within it make it easier of the fats to be digested. It makes up for the absence of iron in the milk of mothers and cows. While improving intestinal functions, it gives inner comfort, and increases the appetite.

Royal jelly: Royal jelly is the white fluid produced by worker bees inside the beehive. In this nutritious substance, there is sugar, protein, fat and many vitamins. It is used when the body is left weak and problems that occur because of tissue ageing.

Bacteria-killing property: The bacteria-killing property of honey is called the �inhibition effect�. Experiments carried out on honey showed that its bacteria-killing effect doubled when diluted with water. It is very interesting to observe that the new-born bees are also fed with diluted honey by the nurse bees responsible for taking care of them.

Thank you for the answer.

 if you allow, I would like to put another question.

 If a thing is illicit because it presents a disease, we have the right to put this question : if any thing is illicit is dangerous why the prophet Jesus (qlssl) wanted to make a illicit thing  at the beginning for the people of Israel, in a licit thing? Can  Let us apply science in the interpretation of orders given by God?
