Abstract

Honey has been mentioned in the Holy Quran as a cure for mankind which means
that within honey are cures for human diseases. However, except for wound
healing, cough relief in children, and post-chemotherapy to treat ulcers, honey is
not used to treat any major human disease. In this talk I will discuss the current
state of research on honey, and the future directions which the Holy Quran has
opened for us in the two verses of Surah Al-Nahl. I will also show that by pondering
over these verses and following the guidance and direction given by the Holy
Quran in our research, we can find the secrets of honey and its curative potential
