TURN THE TABLE OVER, THE BREAKING POINT: EVEN A DROP OF ALCOHOL IS PROHIBITED:

TURN THE TABLE OVER, THE BREAKING POINT:

EVEN A DROP OF ALCOHOL IS PROHIBITED:

BY  Adv. MOHAMMED ASIF ALI .

THE BEGINNING:

Recently When I was on travel, I met a Muslim Married Man, who blessed with many kids Allhamdulilaha, to him I am just like a little brother, I am just a student. During the discussion on various issues of Islamic ruling, then He suddenly rake’s  up a question, which I felt very interesting one to discuss with you all.  

THE QUESTION:

“That there are many people says(or Might Have seen) that even after consuming one big size wine bottle, they don't get intoxicate, they don’t loose their sense. He was trying to say that Muslims allowed to consume Alcohol until someone mind don't get intoxicate. Allah prohibited the  "Intoxication", but if anyone don't get intoxication after consuming a bottle of wine then there is nothing wrong one who drinks. He said.”

THE WISDOM:

 Allah says in the Qur'an ch 16 Verse 125 "Invite in the way of your lord with With Wisdom..."  

I need to act patiently as well as wisely, to reply his tactical question, not just to reply but have to convince him. If I would have said directly its "Harram" for  surely, it will not go down his throat, he couldn't  have convinced and walk away with a same believe on alcohol as before, with no change.

THE PROHIBITION:

Firstly:

 I Quoted the Verse of The Holy Qur'an, ch 5 Verse 90 ": O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper."

This Verse of the Qur’an unequivocally  prohibited the consuming Wine, Alcohol and etc...

Then next I quoted the Hadith of beloved prophet Mohammed(pbuh)

“Any thing intoxicated into lager Quantity prohibited same in Smaller Quantity”

[Sunnah Ib In Maja Vol 3 Ch 30 Hadith 3392]

  Prophet Mohammed(pbuh). Clearly prohibited the use of Alcohol in any decree of level, little of more, snip or tot, directly or indirectly

Even a drop of Alcohol is prohibited, whether someone get’s intoxication or not.

I know He hasn't  yet satisfied, or fully convinced with all my explanation so far, something is keep on pinching back on his mind.

THE CONFUSION:

He ask me a Question.

"If you take(consume) a glass of water you don't get intoxicate" and "If someone take glass of wine  and don't get intoxication " How come glass of water become’s "Halal" and  glass of "wine" is prohibited ?

I made it clear to him “Muslim” Means “one who submit his will to Allah”  

Allah says in the Qur'an ch 3 Verse 32 "Obey Allah and Obey his messenger" We have to believe or follow what Allah and Messenger of Allah said.

I know, the ice not going to break that easily. The turning point yet to come.

THE BREAKING POINT: TURNING THE TABLE OVER

 As I mentioned  earlier Allah says  to use your "wisdom, Hik’ma" What Allah has blessed me.  He thrown a question at  me, which is seem to be a logical one. Now I have to respond in a more soundful manner, which would be a befitting or palatable  reply to his question. off course it will going to little bitter for him, after hearing my answer. I have to use little logic and science to break his myth of purity.

My respond:

"Do you believe urine is dirty, "yes" He agreed! If I prove with scientifically, that having a "drop of urine will not effect much on your health, would you like to drink a "drop of urine" ?

I have given him a another example:

 "Gutter or dirty water"  have(some)  " drop of gutter water in your food"  Scientifically nothing will happen to you.

After hearing my respond, He just become blank and hasn’t spoken a word after that on his issue, but his face gesture and body language, said lot, “Ice is broken”  He convinced finally. Allhamdulilah! praise be to Allah.

Allhamdulilah, Religion of Islam is pure, free from dirt and same time very logical and scientific, Even a some thing contaminate or pollute in a least degree will not be acceptable.  On  the other side whole(majority) world in search for the excuses for least, evil, crime, etc... to fulfill their lustful desire.

May Allah give hidiya to All. Ameen.
