Honey ('asal) is a sweet golden syrup that comes from the natural nectar extracted from flowers by bees. It has great healing benefits and is mentioned in both the Qur'an and Prophetic Hadeeth.
"And thy Lord taught the bee to build its cells in hills, on trees and in (men's) habitations.... there emerges from
their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is a healing for people. Verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought". [Soorah Nahl: 68-69]
