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.
