Quote:> I can’t believe that Prophet Noah was "deceived"
> by drinking wine then lay NAKED.
Interesting comment. Are you saying that it is a crime, under Islamic law, for a person to be naked?
Why did you escape the part of Prophet Lot? <b>Drinking wine leads him to commit INCEST with his 2 daughters and both daughters became pregnant!!</b> You tell me what would be the situation if he did not drink?
Coming to your question.
It is a crime according to <b>Christianity </b> and Islam to look on the nakedness of others. And you know well what happened after Prophet Noah DRINK WINE and became Naked, <b>Ham's son was cursed because Ham saw the nakedness of his father and went and talked about it.</b> Even Peter did not want Jesus to see him naked. So can you imagine if somebody saw the nakedness of a PRPHET OF GOD and went out to promote what he have seen. <b>I believe God will keep the privacy of such holy people and not promote it Himself in His “Holy Book”.</b>
It is interesting to mention that one verse of the Bible warn those who give their neighbor any drink so that you don’t see their <b>nakedness</b>:
Habakkuk2:15
<b>Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink</b>, that puttest thy bottle to him, <b>and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! </b>
Naturally, drinking may lead you to do foolish things. So avoiding it is the solution since we are human and can very easily forget and wrong ourselves. The Qur’an rightly says:
5:90
<b>O ye who believe!</b> Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, <b>are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.</b>
FOR MORE “NAKED PROPHETS” IN THE BIBLE YOU MAY READ THE FOLLOWING VERSES:
'And he (Saul) stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down NAKED all that day and all that night Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? " 1 SAMUEL 19:24
"How glorious was the king of Israel (David) to day, who UNCOVERED (became naked) himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly UNCOVERS himself 2 SAMUEL 6:20
And the Lord said, like as my servant ISAIAH hath walked NAKED and barefoot three years . . . " . . young and old, NAKED and barefoot, even with their buttocks UNCOVERED, to the shame of Egypt. ISAIAH 20:3-4
Quote:> That’s why wine or Alcohol is considered to be the MOTHER OF ALL EVIL.
Not according to the bible:
This statement (Alcohol is the mother of all Evil) is one hadith of our beloved prophet PBUH. And it is true.
