Honey has Healing Properties.
“There issues from within their bodies a drink of varying
colours, wherein is healing for men.”
Al-Qur’an. 16:v69
.
Not too long ago it was discovered that honey comes from the
belly of the FEMALE BEE. It was originally thought that it was
the male bee that collected honey in its mouth. The fact that it
was the female bee that collected the honey in its belly was
mentioned in the Qur’an 1,400 years ago. We now also know that
honey has healing properties when taken orally, or when
applied, it acts as an antiseptic as is mentioned in the Qur’an.
Thus the knowledge contained in the Qur’an regarding honey,
its origin and properties, was far ahead of the time it was
revealed.
PAIN RECEPTORS IN THE SKIN
In the past it was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was
only dependant on the brain. Recent discoveries prove that there
are pain receptors present in the skin itself, without which a
person would not be able to feel pain.
Prof. Tagatat Tejasen, Chairman of the Department of Anatomy
at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, has spent a great amount
of time on research of pain receptors. Initially he could not
believe that the Qur’an mentioned this scientific fact over 1,400
years ago. In fact at first he refused to accept it. He later verified
the translation of this particular Qur’anic verse.
Prof. Tejasen was so impressed by the scientific accuracy of the
Qur’anic verse, that at the 8
th
Saudi Medical Conference held in
Riyadh about the 1980’s on the Scientific Signs of the Qur’an and
Sunnah he proclaimed in public:
“ LA ILAHA ILLAL-LAH, MUHAMMADUR RASULLULAH.”
“There is no God except ALLAH, and Muhammed (pbuh) is His
servant and Messenger.”
