assalamualaikum My name is Mohammed Rashid, a Bangladeshi.
Currently I'm working in Malaysia, how to explain to non Muslim
friends that they should not have alcohol. Allah subhanaw taala says
in the Glorious Quran in surah Majda chapter five verse number 90
Yeah you heard Adina Avenue or you will believe in Alhambra will may
see you more certainly intoxicants and gambling while ensemble as
love, dedication of stones, divine nation of arrows ritum Ramona
shaytaan are an abomination from Satan's handiwork. First, then we
will look into freehold abstain from such handiwork that you may
prosper.
Alcohol it is clearly prohibited in Islam.
And alcohol is even prohibited in the Bible. It is mentioned in the
book of Proverbs chapter number 20 was number one, Wine is a mocker
strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is
not wise. It is mentioned the book of Ecclesiastes chapter number
five was 18.
And Be not drunk with wine. So the Bible it clearly prohibits having
alcohol. But unfortunately, many of the Christians they yet have
alcohol, the Bible and the Glorious Quran they clearly
prohibit the consumption of alcohol.
The human beings we have an inhibitory center, this inhibitory
center, it prevents us from doing things that we think are wrong.
For example,
when we want to go to the washroom, our inhibitory center
will prevent us from doing so in public. Our inhibitory center will
prevent us from using abusive and foul language against our elders
against our parents.
So the inhibitory center prevents us from doing things that are
wrong. When a person has alcohol, his inhibitory center itself is
inhibited.
This is precisely the reason that people when they're in the state
of intoxication, they tend to use abusive and foul language. They
use abusive language when they're talking to their elders. Many of
them they even urinate in their clothes, because the inhibitory
center itself is inhibited.
And when a person is in the state of intoxication, he can commit
several crimes, for example, *. According to the US Department of
Justice in the year 1996 alone, every day, no less than 2713 case
of rapes took place.
Every 32 Second, one woman was raped.
And the majority of the people who committed this act of * they
were in the state of intoxication.
According to statistics, 8% of the Americans they are involved in
*, *, having sexual relations with your close
relatives.
That means one out of 12 Americans, they are involved in
*.
And majority of the cases of *. They happen in the state
of intoxication when the person has consumed alcohol.
Many people they argue and they say that, you know I am just a
social drinker. I only have one or two pegs.
Every person when he starts having alcohol, initially, he's a social
drinker.
No person, he drinks alcohol to become a drunkard.
Every person initially he is a social drinker. He keeps on
drinking and then eventually he becomes a drunkard.
And no person who drinks alcohol can say that I have never been
intoxicated, drinking alcohol, it has a huge impact on your mind.
And the weight is diseases that you can get due to the consumption
of alcohol. For example, various types of cancers, cancer of the
head cancer of the neck,
cancer of the bowels
and you can get various other diseases. For example, use of
Ficus gastritis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, all these diseases you
can get to to the consumption of alcohol.
Alcohol can also cause hypertension
and it can cause various skin diseases.
So there are various diseases that you can get due to the consumption
of alcohol.
That's the reason we should try to abstain from having alcohol
and a block of Muhammad peace be upon him said it is mentioned
suddenly Marja while in number three, chapter number 30 Book of
intoxicants are these number two
87 to that alcohol it is the mother of all evils
and it is the most shameful act. So even the hadith of our beloved
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, they clearly say that we
should not have alcohol.
For the mouths mentioned sort of the merger while in number three,
Chapter McHattie book of intoxicants.
There are 10 categories of people who are cursed by Allah subhanaw
taala.
The one who deals with alcohol even he is caused by Allah
subhanaw taala. The one who distills the ones for whom it is
distilled,
the one who buys it, the one who sells it, the one who drinks it,
the one who buys it for someone else, the one who transports it.
So 10 categories of people, they are cursed by Allah subhanaw taala
those people who deal with alcohol even the one who serves alcohol,
so we should totally abstain from the consumption of alcohol.
And many people, they say that alcoholism is a disease. If
alcoholism is a disease, it is the only disease that is sold in
bottles advertise in the newspapers, in the magazines, on
radio broadcast stations on television channels. It is the
only disease that causes while in debts on highways destroys family
lives. It is the only disease that has no job or wider costs.
Alcoholism, it is not a disease, but it is Satan's handiwork
abstain from it, that you will prosper.
