Khamar - Arak - Tuak

As we all know alcoholic drinks are forbidden in Islam. Why it is forbidden because some people just lament the fact that God Says so.

Note that in the beginning, alcoholic drinks is as common as water and everyone will serve that.

Allah has shown mercy to them (at that point) by not prohibiting or forbidden it totally but slowly.

Proof of that is 4 verses came down to proof it:

1. An Nahl Ayat 67




And from the fruits of the palm trees and grapevines you take intoxicant and good provision. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who reason.

2. Al Baqarah Ayat 219



They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allah makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought.


3. An Nisa Ayat 43





O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.

4. Al Maidah Ayat 90-91



O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.




Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist?
