The Prohibition
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi #580,Narrated AbudDarda'
...don't drink wine for it is the key to every evil.
Hadith - Abu Dawood, Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab
When the prohibition of wine (was yet to be) declared, Umar said: O
Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation about wine. So the following
verse of Surat al-Baqarah revealed;"They ask thee concerning wine and
gambling. Say: In them is great sin...." Umar was then called and it
was recited to him. He said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory
explanation about wine. Then the following verse of Surat an-Nisa' was
revealed: "O ye who believe! approach not prayers with a mind
befogged...."Thereafter the herald of the Apostle of Allah would call
when the (congregational) prayer was performed: Beware, one who is
drunk should not come to prayer . Umar was again called and it was
recited to him.He said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation
about wine. This verse was revealed: "Will ye not then abstain?" Umar
said: We abstained.
The Noble Qur'an - al-Baqarah 2:219
They ask you (O Muhammad ) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling.
Say:"In them is a great sin, and (some) benefit for men, but the sin
of them is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they
ought to spend. Say: "That which is beyond your needs." Thus Allâh
makes clear to you His Laws in order that you may give thought.

Allah's Messenger cursed ten people in connection with wine: the
wine-presser, the onewho has it pressed, the one who drinks it, the
one who conveys it, the one to whom it is conveyed, the one who serves

palm-leaf stalks.

gave (such a sinner) forty lashes.
Hadith - Bukhari 8:768, Narrated Abu Salama

The Prophet said, ' Beat him!' " Abu Huraira added,"So some of us beat
him with our hands, and some with their shoes, and some with their
garments (by twisting it) like a lash, and then when we finished,
someone said to him, 'May Allah disgrace you!' On that the Prophet
said, ' Do not say so, for you are helping Satan to overpower him. ' "
Shaitan's Use of Intoxicants
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Ma'idah 5:91
Shaitân (Satan) wants only to excite enmity andhatred between you
withintoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from
the remembrance of Allâh and from As-Salât (the prayer). So, will you
not then abstain?
Prayer Not Accepted
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi#3643, narrated Abdullahibn Umar ; Abdullah ibn Amr
Allah's Messenger said," If anyone drinks wine Allah will not accept
prayer from him for fortydays, but if he repents Allah will forgive
him. If he repeats the offence Allah will not accept prayer from him
for fortydays, but if he repents Allah will forgive him. If he again
repeats the offence Allah will not accept prayer from him for forty
days, but if he repents Allah will forgive him. If he repeats it a
fourth time Allah will not accept prayer from him for forty days, and
if he repents Allah will not forgive him, but will give him to drink
of the river of the fluid flowing from the inhabitants of Hell. "
[Tirmidhi transmitted it, and Nasa'i, Ibn Majah andDarimi transmitted
it on the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr.]
Medicine
Hadith - Abu Dawood, narrated Tariq ibn Suwayd or Suwayd ibn Tariq
Wa'il said: Tariq ibn Suwayd or Suwayd ibn Tariq asked the Prophet
about wine, but he forbade it. He again asked him, but he forbade him.
He said to him: Prophet of Allah, it isa medicine. The Prophet said:
No it is a disease .
Hadith
Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet reportsthat he once said: " Allah
has not placed a cure for your diseases in things that He has
forbidden foryou. '' (Reported by Baihaqi; Ibn Hibban considers this
hadith to be sound.Bukhari has also related it on the authority of Ibn
Mas'ud.)
Hadith - Abu Dawood; Sahih Bukhari
Abu ad-Darda reported that the Prophet said:" Allah has sent down both
the malady and its remedy. For every disease He has created a cure. So
seek medical treatment, but never with something the use of which
Allah has prohibited.' '
Action Items for the uttaqun:
*. Do not ingest alcohol
*. If your husband (or other relative) comes home drunk (please note
that you have grounds for divorce in such an example) , ask for the
Muslim brothers to give him 40 lashes for it.
*. Don't be a passive tool of Shaitan by accepting alcoholism in your
family or the Muslim community.
Remember... Allah, subhana watala , sees everything we do!
