The Benefits of Honey in The Holy Quran

Year 2019, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 64 - 74, 27.12.2019

Abstract

In this review, our aim is to examine the verses in the Quran about honey. From this point of view, new literature information about honey will be evaluated. Online academic databases were used in preparing the review. These consist of WOS, PubMed, Google Scholars, Online Sau Library and The Holy Quran.
Honey as medicine is ancient, even the quran has mentioned medical use of honey. The Qur’an says the Lord has inspired the bees to built their hives in hills, on trees, and close to human beings, from within their bodies comes a drink of varying colours, which is healing for human beings, certainly in this is a sign, for those who are thinking.
Surat an-Nahl 68-69: “And your Lord inspired the bee: Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct”. “Then eat of all the fruits (and flowers), and go along the pathways of your Lord (for the making of honey), with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people (honey syrup). Certainly, there is a sign (and a sign of Allah's might) for a society to think about”.
As a result, these verses show that; Allah created nature wonderfully and made all things necessary for human beings. Nothing was created in vain. Just as in the case of honey, Allah has created many useful works for us.

Kur’an-ı Kerim’de Balın Faydaları

Year 2019, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 64 - 74, 27.12.2019

Abstract

Bu derlemede amacımız, Kur’an-ı Kerimde bal hakkında geçen ayetleri incelemek ve konu ile ilgili yeni literatür bilgilerini değerlendirmektir. Derleme hazırlanırken web özellikli akademik veri tabanlarından faydalanıldı. Bunlar arasında; WOS, PubMed, Google Scholars, Online Saü Kütüphanesi yer aldı. Bal için Kur'an-ı Kerim'de, tıbbi nitelikte kullanımdan bahsedilmektedir. Şöyle ki; Kur'an, Rab-bin arılara, kovanlarını tepelere ağaçlara ve insana yakın bir yere inşa etmeleri için ilham verdiğini, vücutlarının içinden gelen, insanlar için şifa veren değişik renklerde bir içecek olduğunu, kesinlikle bu durumun düşünenler için bir işaret olduğunu söyler. Nahl Suresi 68.Ayet: “Rab-bin bal arısına şöyle vahyetti: “Dağlardan, ağaçlardan ve (halkın sizin için) kurdukları çardaklardan (göz göz) evler edin”. Nahl Suresi 69. Ayet: “Sonra meyve (ve çiçek) lerden ye. (Bunun için) Rab-binin (bal yapımı için) kolaylıklar gösterdiği (öğreti) yollarına boyun eğerek gir. Onların karınlarından rengârenk bir içecek (bal şerbeti) çıkar ki o, insanlar için bir şifa (kaynağı) dır. Şüphesiz ki bunda düşünecek bir toplum için bir ibret (ve Allah’ın kudretine işaret) vardır”. Sonuç olarak bu ayet-i kerimeler şunu göstermektedir ki; Allah (c.c) tabiatı harikulade yarattı ve yarattığı her şeyi insanlar için gerekli kıldı. Hiçbir şey boş yere yaratılmadı. Tıpkı
bal örneğinde olduğu gibi, Allah (c.c) biz insanlar için pek çok faydalı eserler yarattı.
