Fariq Naik – Alcohol is prohibited in Islam, Hinduism and Christianity

00:00:00 --> 00:00:04

			The 14th most common question that
is there in the minds of non
		

00:00:04 --> 00:00:09

			Muslims is that why does Islam
prohibit having intoxicants? Why
		

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

			is alcohol prohibited in Islam?
		

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

			Allah subhanaw taala says it's
reminder chapter number five was
		

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

			summer 90 Yeah you Alladhina amanu
or you believe in normal camera
		

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

			well my serial most certainly
intoxicants and gambling well I'm
		

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

			swab well as lab dedication of
stones, donation of arrows,
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:31

			ritual, minimal shaytaan are an
abomination from Satan's
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

			handiwork. First, anybody who are
looking to abstain from such
		

00:00:35 --> 00:00:40

			abomination that to me prosper. So
your Allah subhanaw taala is
		

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

			telling us that alcohol is
prohibited, gambling is
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

			prohibited. fortunetelling is
prohibited. All these things are
		

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

			prohibited in Islam.
		

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

			And it's similar message is he
mentioned the Bible.
		

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

			It's mentioned in the book of
Proverbs chapter 20, verse number
		

00:00:55 --> 00:01:00

			one, Wine is a mocker strong drink
is raging, and whosoever is
		

00:01:00 --> 00:01:04

			deceived thereby is not wise. It's
mentioned the book of FC in
		

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

			chapter number five was the 18th
and Be not drunk with wine.
		

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

			So even the Christian scriptures,
the Bible, it prohibits having
		

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

			alcohol,
		

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

			which is mentioned in the book,
I've seen Shabnam five was Psalm
		

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

			18.
		

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

			Even the Hindu scripture that
prohibits having alcohol, it is
		

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

			mentioned several times the way
does that alcohol has been
		

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

			prohibited.
		

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

			It's mentioned Manas, Matthew
chapter nine, verse number 225 to
		

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

			28 that alcohol has been
prohibited. Now let's analyze what
		

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

			are the logical reasons why
alcohol has been prohibited in
		

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

			Islam.
		

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

			Today, science tells us that a
human being has an inhibitory
		

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

			center.
		

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

			And this inhibitory center, it
prevents a human being from doing
		

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

			things that he considers wrong.
		

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

			For example, a person knows that
using abusive language, especially
		

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

			while addressing his elders, it is
incorrect.
		

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

			And when he has to attend the call
of nature, he knows that he has to
		

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

			go to the restroom, and as the
inhibitory center will prevent him
		

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

			from doing so in public.
		

00:02:13 --> 00:02:18

			But when a person has alcohol, his
inability center itself is
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

			inhibited. This is precisely the
reason that when a person is
		

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

			intoxicated, many of these people
they tend to use abusive and foul
		

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

			language. Neither do they talk,
nor do they walk properly. Many
		

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

			even urinate in their clothes,
they do it in public.
		

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

			So today, scientific research
tells us that when a person is
		

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

			intoxicated, he commits many
things that are prohibited.
		

00:02:43 --> 00:02:49

			According to the FBI report, in
the year 1990 alone, 1756 rapes
		

00:02:49 --> 00:02:53

			took place every day, and majority
more than 50% of the rapes. They
		

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

			were committed in the state of
intoxication.
		

00:02:57 --> 00:03:02

			The statistics tell us that 8% of
Americans they commit *
		

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08

			that means every 12 to 13 American
you meet he has committed *.
		

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

			That means having sexual
relationship with your close
		

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

			relatives. For example, father
with daughter, mother with son,
		

00:03:16 --> 00:03:21

			brother with sister to start sixth
tell that 8% of Americans they
		

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

			commit *.
		

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

			And majority of the cases, either
one or both are the people that
		

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

			are in the state of intoxication.
		

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

			Today, the most dreadful disease
in the world, it is eight. And the
		

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

			major cause of this is due to the
consumption of alcohol.
		

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

			Many of the people they say that
I'm only a social drinker, I have
		

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

			only one or two pegs. I did not
get intoxicated.
		

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

			Every person before he started
having alcohol. He never had the
		

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

			intention of becoming alcoholic.
Every person started drinking
		

00:03:58 --> 00:04:03

			alcohol as a social drinker. And I
challenge you to show me a single
		

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

			social drinker who has been
drinking for several years and has
		

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

			not got intoxicated, at least once
in his lifetime. He may have
		

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

			gotten intoxicated.
		

00:04:13 --> 00:04:17

			And imagine even if you get
intoxicated once and if you commit
		

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

			a crime of * or *. The
crime is so great that is a
		

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

			repairable the person who has
committed the crime cannot be
		

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

			forgiven. It is an irreparable
loss
