Yemeni Sidr Honey Cures All!

Yemeni Sidr Honey Cures All!

The Sidr Tree

Sidr is known in English as the Lote tree. It is a tree mentioned
not only in Qur’an, but also the Bible and Torah. The Sidr is a very resilient tree and is mentioned many times in the Qur’an.

In Surah Saba, Ayah 16, the Sidr tree is one of three trees to survive the floods when Allah swt opened the dam as punishment for the people in that land for their disbelief.

In Surat al-Waqi’ah, ayah 28, the Sidr tree is mentioned by Allah when describing the conditions of the people of the Right Hand (Those who will go to Jannah). He swt says that the People of the Right Hand will be among thornless Sidr trees and banana trees with fruits piled one above another and in shade long-extended and by water flowing constantly...

And not forgetting Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (Surat an-Najm:14-17), the Sidr tree growing at the furthest boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which no one can pass. This is a very special Sidr tree which Rasulullah was shown during al-Miraj. Rasulullah described the tree as having large fruit resembling clay jugs, leaves as big as elephants ears and four rivers originating from its roots. Two rivers where hidden rivers in Paradise and the two apparent ones were the Nile and the Euphrates.

The Sidr tree is a tree beyond this duniyya so it is no wonder that it provides such excellent medicinal values in all its parts and provides excellent nectar for bees to make the best honey. The Sidr trees from which the bees collect nectar in Yemen are growing wild and uncultivated in the desert areas.

Yemeni Sidr honey is produced and harvested in the most pure ways, the traditional ways which have remained the same for centuries. No chemicals or unnatural processes are ever used because this will spoil the purity of the honey. It is said that the Sidr honey from Yemen tastes better than those from other areas because the soil in Yemen is richer.

Yemen's beekeepers are strict in ensuring the honey's purity and potency and will allow their bees to die rather than feed them with sugary syrup. Typically, bees of a certain hive make 37,000 trips just to make half a kilo of honey but bees fed solely on the nectar of the Sidr flower die after making about 3 trips! The weaker bees cannot withstand the potency of the nectar of this remarkable tree. (Information sourced from http://sidrhoney.tripod.com/id9.html)

Allah swt said about bees,

“From their bellies comes a drink of varying colours, containing healing for mankind. There is certainly a sign in that for people who reflect."(Surat an-Nahl: 69)



Rasulullah said that there are three types of healing for mankind,

“A gulp of honey, cupping, and branding with fire (cauterizing). But I forbid my followers to use (cauterization) branding with fire." (Sahih Bukhari)

I have used Sidr honey regularly for the past four years and found it remarkably improved my respiratory health and reduced the severity of cold and flu. Also, whenever I had that feeling to eat but didn't know what I wanted to eat, I just ate a spoonful of honey and the hunger sensation went away.

I know sisters who have used Sidr honey mixed with warm water and cinnamon to lose weight, grow back hair on bald patches, heal wounds and burns, reduce sinus pain, kidney problems, irregular heart beat and as an antihistamine.

The only downside to Yemeni Sidr Honey is the cost. 500gms of B grade honey costs $50, the same amount in A grade is near $100. However, the benefits are many and well worth the investment.

Here is a short list of some of the common ailments that can be treated with Sidr Honey.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) threatened Yemen to write off Old Sana'a from its World Heritage list after it was found the state had systematically failed to preserve the archaeological integrity of many buildings, allowing them to fall into decrepitude.
With its history stretching back over 2500 years, Sana'a is associated with the civilization of the Bible and the Quran.

UNESCO described Sana'a as "an outstanding example of a homogeneous architectural ensemble reflecting the spatial characteristics of the early years of Islam, the city in its landscape has an extraordinary artistic and pictorial quality. Its many-storied buildings represent an outstanding response to defensive needs in providing spacious living quarters for the maximum number of residents within defensible city walls. The buildings demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship in the use of local materials and techniques."

However, a lack of funding, mis-management and 2011 uprising meant Yemen officials were not able to maintain Old Sana'a to UNESCO' standard.

11th century old dwellings were modified by owners as they found hard to accommodate their growing family, often failing to comply with the authorities' construction guidelines.

Harsh weather also is said to have put a strain on the integrity of some buildings, which left uncheck could lead to total collapse.

The Ministry of Finance has apologized for the delay in funding, saying it will endeavor to address all immediate threat to the old city, pointing however that UNESCO failed to adequately fulfill its funding duty toward Yemen. The ministry added it had notified Gulf officials of the severity of the situation and that aid would be allocated promptly.

UNESCO demanded Yemen to provide a full report on Old Sana'a and Zabib, another protected site and address all irregularities.

Comment:
Yemen is a poor country going through a difficult political transition. It has no money for such demands. If UNESCO would provide the funds for the upkeep (directly, not giving the funds to the government because then we'll see nice villa houses popping up in other areas rather than maintained mud mansions) that might be an idea.

Second idea - open the visa restrictions and let the tourists flood back into Old Sana'a spending lavishly on what they think is a cheap trip.

Not Forgotten

A very long time has elapsed since the last post. This was due largely to the dispersal of those who promised to contribute.

I think it is important however to let people know what is going on in the streets and with the people, and encourage the ummah to unite especially now as we are facing challenges bigger than ever all over the Muslim world.

Yemen sees this week the convening of the national dialogue, which most people I have spoken to say is just a process to look democratic and to shut up the outsiders. It has been lampooned by the satirists, and when you look around you cant blame them.

Political types have said to me that the opposition agreed to conduct the revolution peacefully and not resort to fighting in order to not spill the blood of the Yemeni people, but to many, the reasons for the peaceful plan was for the leaders who supported the opposition to maintain their lifestyles, and to not spill their own blood.

The situation is akin to hitting one's head against the wall. There is no improvement or forward vision and the bulk of the population continue in the feudal system ignorantly.

Corruption is so entrenched that those practicing common corrupt practices don't even see that what they are doing is corrupt. I have even found some of the corrupt practices in the law, particularly the appointment of family members in government positions. Seriously, it is written in law. So how do we root out the corruption?

Return to the RULE OF ALLAH. And that very well may involve a brawl!
