This chapter is famously known as Surah An-Nahl, meaning the Bee. In this chapter, we find that Allah briefly, but meaningfully mentions the honeybee, and a substance produced by it which is eventually consumed by human beings. This surah also discusses many of the other blessings that Allah has bestowed upon His creations such as: the blessing of rain, sunlight, types of plants and fruits, food, animals that are at the service of mankind, the benefits and usages of these various animals, tools for life, and even the blessing of spouses and children. For these reasons, this chapter is also referred to as ‘Surah Al-Neam’ (The Blessings). <ref name=":0">Mahmud Zamakhshari, Al-Kashshaf an Haqaiq Ghawamid al-Tanzil (1986), Volume 2, Page 592</ref> | This chapter is famously known as Surah An-Nahl, meaning the Bee.
