Honey: medicine of the Qur’an for all diseases (Part 1)

By Qazi Shaikh Borhany

Demand for honey today is higher than in ancient times. All sacred scriptures have discussed its merit. Chinese, Greek and Roman accounts also provide us innumerable benefits of honey. Ancient Egyptians used honey as a preservative.
