15/ Since 2011 the East London Mosque @elondonmosque in England has been home to several beehives. Most of the hives are kept on the roof of the London Muslim Centre #WorldBeeDay

7/ The teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also emphasise the importance of bees. He reportedly said, "The example of a believer is like that of a bee, it eats clean food and produces clean honey. And when it lands on something, it does not break or ruin it." #WorldBeeDay
In the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an a chapter is dedicated to the bee, called An-Nahl. This literally translates to ‘The Bee’ & it describes the bee’s way of life, & how Muslims should be more like them.
For #WorldBeeDay we are celebrating the bee in Islam 🐝
