A scientific study assures that Allah (SWT) supplied honey with natural antibiotics that kills dangerous microbes, let us read …

A new scientific study
A
new scientific study has shown that honey has special characteristics
that help to defend against germs. Honey also has high capability to
resist bacteria that evolved their immune systems against standard
medications.
Honey,
in the old and modern era, has always been used as a natural medicine
for many diseases. This new study might be a new twist to use honey for
medical purposes.
According
to the study that has been done through Sidney University in Australia,
Dekarter, a scientific teacher in the biological and microbial science
college says, "our research has shown that honey can replace many of the
antibiotics that are used to treat cuts such as ointments and different
creams. Also, using honey for healing purposes will increase the aging
period of antibiotics. " She also adds: " most of the bacteria that
cause infections in hospitals are at least resistance to one type of
antibiotic, which means the need to produce new and stronger antibiotics
that are able to execute bacteria that cause diseases."
Honey is a complicated compound that is consists of 800 molecules. This complication makes it difficult for scientists to fully understand the honey's mechanism of resisting and killing the bacteria. scientist Dekarter says: " until now, we have not found the method the honey apply to resist bacteria, but most likely there is the molecule "Methylglyoxal" ,which is part of the honey, that reacts with other molecules which we have not discovered yet, to become able to inhibit bacteria from multiplying and making new generations that have the ability to resist to antibiotics."
Doctor
Rose Koper ,from the Health Science college of Wells University, has
conducted a research regarding honey's activity against bacteria, and
she wrote the book "Honey facing cuts". In her book, she says: “there
are many factors that give honey the special healing characteristics,
including high sugar level, low water level, and low acidity."
Honey is a healing for people
My
beloved for the sake of Allah! These new studies that are discovered by
scientists and amaze them are not as surprising for us, because Allah
Almighty has mentioned honey in his book, and revealed a chapter and
call it " An-Nahl" which mean Bees. Allah almighty says:”And
your Lord inspired the bee, saying: " Take you 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 color wherein is
healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think" [An-Nahl 68-69].
In
conclusion, we advise every sister and brother to always have honey
available in their homes. Honey is useful for treating burns, cuts,
pyorrhea and it, is good for skin, cold and virus infections. So, we
must have honey and use it both for food and medicine; especially for
children!

Your Lord revealed to the bees: "Build
dwellings in the mountains and the trees, and also in the structures
which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths
of your Lord, which have been made easy for you to follow." From inside
them comes a drink of varying colours, containing healing for mankind.
There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect. (Qur'an,
16:69)
Honey is a "healing for men" as stated in the verses above. Nowadays, apiculture and bee products have opened a new branch of research in scientifically advanced parts of the world. Other benefits of honey may be described as below:
Easily digested: Because sugar molecules in honey can convert into other sugars (e.g. fructose to glucose), honey is easily digested by the most sensitive stomachs, despite its high acid content. It helps kidneys and intestines to function better.
Rapidly diffuses through the blood; is a quick energy source: When accompanied by mild water, honey diffuses into the bloodstream in seven minutes. Its free sugar molecules make the brain function better since the brain is the largest consumer of sugar. Honey is a natural composition of sugars like glucose and fructose. According to recent research, this unique mixture of sugars is the most effective means to remove fatigue and increase athletic performance.
The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of honey were revealed as a result of clinical observations and research. Honey is exceedingly effective in painlessly cleaning up infection and dead cells in these regions and in the development of new tissues. The use of honey as a medicine is mentioned in the most ancient writings. In the present day, doctors and scientists are rediscovering the effectiveness of honey in the treatment of wounds.
Dr. Peter Molan, a leading researcher into honey for the last 20 years and a professor of biochemistry at New Zealands University of Waikato, says this about the antimicrobial properties of honey:
Randomized trials have shown that honey is more effective in controlling infection in burn wounds than silver sulphadiazine, the antibacterial ointment most widely used on burns in hospitals. (Honey Against Infected Skin Lesions, www.apitherapy.com/honeysk.htm.)
Supports blood formation: Honey provides an important part of the energy needed by the body for blood formation. In addition, it helps in cleansing the blood. It has some positive effects in regulating and facilitating blood circulation. It also functions as a protection against capillary problems and arteriosclerosis.
Does not accommodate bacteria: This bactericide (bacteria-killing) property of honey is named "the inhibition effect." There are various reasons of this anti-microbial property of the honey. Some examples are: the high sugar content that limit the amount of water microorganisms need for growth, its high acidity (low pH) and composition which deprive bacteria from nitrogen necessary for reproduction. The existence of hydrogen peroxide as well as antioxidants in the honey prevents bacteria growth.
Antioxidant: Everyone who wants to live a healthier life should consume antioxidants. Those are the components in cells that get rid of harmful byproducts of normal metabolic functions. These elements inhibit destructive chemical reactions that cause spoilage of food and many chronic illnesses. Researchers believe food products rich in antioxidants may prevent heart problems and cancer. Strong antioxidants are present in honey content: Pinocembrin, pinobaxin, chrisin and galagin. Pinocembrin is an antioxidant that merely exists in the honey.108
Vitamin and mineral depot: Honey is composed of sugars like glucose and fructose and minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron and phosphate. It contains vitamins B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3 all of which change according to the qualities of the nectar and pollen. Besides the above, copper, iodine, and zinc are also present, albeit in small quantities.
