Bismillah:
Quote:Now this is important to grasp. It is Satan's plan to cause conflict and hatred between us but it Is the Plan of Allah for us to be Compassionate, Merciful, full of prayer and rememberence of Him. <b>It is this enmity and hatred we must abstain from.</b>
For if we should abstain from intoxicants and gambling and still have enmity and hatred between us then we have misunderstood. There is wine in paradise but in paradise you will not find enmity and hatred. Emnity and Hatred are the filthy works of Satan.
But if these intoxicants and gambling cause you to forget Allah and embrace evil then it would be better to abstain. In-fact it would be better to abstain from doing anything that conflicts with the rememberence of Allah.
Take what is profitable and leave the sin.
doesnt the Prophet pbuh say <b>"Anything which intoxicates in a large quantity is prohibited even in a small quantity"</b> .
didnt he say "<b>Alcohol is the mother of all evils and it is the most shameful of evils".</b>
then why should we argue about this matter???
it was reported by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), a companion of the Prophet, that Muhammad (Pbuh) said:
God’s curse falls on a group of people who deal with alcohol. The one who distils it, the one for whom it has been distilled, the one who drinks it, the one who transports it, the one to whom it has been brought, the one who serves it, the one who sells it, the one who utilizes money from it, the one who buys it and the one who buys it for someone else
