What does this information mean?

Information Known to Date

With a little less than 500K in hitpoints, and a long-range heat-based AOE (Flame of the Sun at long range), it would see that this dragon, one of two in Maj'Dul, is incredibly difficult to beat. She is not impossible to counter, however.

Spawn Barakah in dragon form using a Golden dragon scale and a character on the appropriate step to kill her in the quest Capturing Day and Night. Hailing Barakah in non-dragon form at the appropriate point in the quest turns her into an attackable dragon form and give you the opportunity to kill her.

Hints on Defeating

Members of RaidWiki have suggested that the healers of the raid that attacks Barakah should be divided into two groups with one inside the monster's AoE range and one just outside the AoE range but still within healing range of the first healer group.

Reports on websites such as OGaming and several private guild websites suggest that only a single group of healers is necessary and that a series of attacks can be well-timed to conincide with the end of each, which lasts for approximately 22 seconds. That is, groups of attackers can remain outside the AoE range, wait for the AoE to go off, run in to attack, and run back out of range before the next AoE occurs.

Whichever method you choose to defeat this foe, keep in mind the following:

Barakah in non-dragon form spawns at roughly 2pm Norrathian time and despawns again at approximatly 11am (at night, hence, the name of the main quest Capturing Night and Day).
Her main attacks are slashing-, divine-, and heat-based.
She is almost invulnerable against heat-based attacks, but can be damaged with cold, slashing, or piercing attacks.
