May times I've heard people say that Quran only Muslims think alcohol isn't haram. While a minority do, here are the facts. Let me know what you think in the comments!
Salam brother.
First you have to know that I have never liked alcohol so I dont drink.
However we have to make sure not to forbidden something by our selfs.
I would require you to read the verses as warning from god not as he is forbidding alcohol.
God has mentioned what haram and sin is haram but we have to pay attention that God said alcohol has in it sin and in it benefits.
The sin is when we use it in access and lose our mind and get intoxicated.
God in all of hes orders to us give us advices to reason and he give us tips what may make us away from getting closer to him.
For example pork is haram so he has ordered us not to eat pork but when it came to alcohol he knew that theres people who will have a glass of wine for benefit thier mind and relax without excessive drinking and also that theres people who will abuse it and drink till they are wasted.
So god is giving us advice.
Am surprised from some people in the comments below who believe in Quran and they just say alcohol is haram and talk in God behalf. I advise you not to talk in behalf of god and for all of us to say that we think its haram rather than confirm its haram when God didn't say its haram clearly.
The full process of god advices in Quran from prayer and fasting and other stuff is to clean your soul and draw close to god and one of things will keep you far from god is alcohol when u drink it in access however that doesn't justify we making it haram when god didn't say it clearly.
If you drink then its better to stop it but if u have a glass occasionally and you know that its not affecting your mental and reasoning then I think no harm.
This my understanding and god knows better.
Well said bro I was thinking the same thing.
No you are wrong!
God said that alcohol is a sin and a work of satan, so are you saying that a responsinble drinker is not under the influence of satan.
Imo: not haram the way idol, pork, alters is haram. I say that because just look how alcohol is mentioned, its mentioned avoid, desist and sin. It isn't flatline like idols or pork. So the sin is when the sin is committed, what you do when you get drunk, sloppy drunk and cause fights, accidenrs, hurt famiy, abuse alcohol, these are the sins. Not the act of sipping a beer.
@@intranext1359 sorry for the late reply I just saw your comments.
God said there's sin in it. Not its all sin. Then he explained what's the sin in it and what the shaitan is trying to do with it. Same thing for the idol you can use it to warship it or you can use it for another purpose which doesn't have worshiping.
So when u say that god said its all sin on what basis you saying that because am Arabic and I read quran in Arabic and its clearly saying it has a sin in it not its the sin.
@@shawki7806 for me its the context and language. For example, an apostate/heretic/idol worship is a great sin and Allah the All Merciful constantly says to repent and ask for forgiveness. Allah also mentions the sin is forgivable unless sinner dies without Repentance ie: sinner can ask for forgiveness untill last breath.
No for Alcohol, when All Mighty says avoid mosque until the affects wear off, the language and tone is very passive, is very 'slap on the writ type'.
Im not trying to convince anyone, this is my own take. How come the law of the previous Prophets(AS) are generally all the same, the previous Books didn't abolish alcohol, Quran starts off with avoid mosques and be mindful, and if Quran was revealed to CONFIRM what was preciously given, if we look at laws of Jews and what Allah permitted what was previously banned (type of animal) i believe Alcohol should ALSO been mentioned in this verse. Refer to 4:160 & 6:146.
Quran confirms what was previously brought. Quran does not associate Alcohol with jews or Christians.
Alcohol not haram!
*Alhamdhulillah!* Awesome explanation..
Peace be upon you, brother.
Alcohol is not haram, avoid it if u can, because alcohol is served in jannah, everything in moderation is best. Best explanation by Quran centric, CZcams by Joseph Yaseen.
To be a pious Muslim, avoiding alcohol seems ok to be steadfast in Allah’s path. But to an average Muslim who is trying to somehow follow Islam but sometimes drinks also very moderately I don’t see the big huge issue. Yes we should all make drinking as much avoidable as possible. But calling it totally forbidden , I don’t see the argument. Evidence in this video is not enough
﴿قُل إِنَّما حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الفَواحِشَ ما ظَهَرَ مِنها وَما بَطَنَ وَالإِثمَ وَالبَغيَ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَأَن تُشرِكوا بِاللَّهِ ما لَم يُنَزِّل بِهِ سُلطانًا وَأَن تَقولوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ﴾
[Al-A'râf: 33]
Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allāh that which you do not know."
as you can see from the above verse that the meaning of الإثم is not sin the right meaning is harmful
even البغي does not mean oppression it mean you want ( to do or things )
now we go back to the above verse ( sin and oppression without right ) that is mean there are sin and oppression with right !!!!
or it mean that there are harmful and something you want without right and with right
Salam bro, with all due respect I think you made some small yet significant mistakes in your interpretation as a result of referring to the sahih international translation, which doesn't disambiguate between the Arabic terms there translated as "sin", without any reference to the original text, which is more specific. I'm of the school of thought that nothing in the Quran is arbitrary, and that the change of terminology changes the meaning. First off, in 2:219 the word translated as "sin" is "ith'm" which implies the type of error that one does intentionally to be harmful. Hence God said the ith'm "in them" (fihim), rather than "they are ith'm", their is a difference. The "ith'm' of alcohol or gambling would be what they lead to (a conscious infraction). In verse 217 no word in particular meaning sin is even used, but rather the words "great" (kabirun) and "greater" (akbaru) referring to the severity of the action, which in the context is clearly forbidden (fighting in the forbidden months). I'm not sure which verse you were referring to about what is haram, but you should double check the words translated as "sin" as there are multiple words used in the Quran translated as sin and each has its particularity of usage. The language of Allah (SWA) is extremely concise. Also, the word translated as "alcohol" might be more literally translated as "wine". The reference to "wine" may have a specific contextual significance as wine was possibly imported from the Roman Christians (who utilized the drink for rituals) and according to some traditions was coupled with gambling as it was common to serve at gambling houses which was something of a social blunder in ancient Arabia. In Q4:43 however the word meaning "intoxicated" or "stupified" (sukara) is used, a state that may result from alcohol or wine though not necessarily.
Verse 5:90 never uses sin but rather "impurity/contamination/pollution" (rij's), though it also says "min amila shaytan" meaning "from the work of Satan", suggesting further that these things aren't in themselves impurity but rather that Satan pollutes them. On a side note the word translated as "divining arrows" actually just says "arrows" in Arabic (azlam). We understand the act being refered to (belomancy) by other *references (5:3). I believe similar deductions can be made about "ansaab" and "maysir", in terms of the sinful or impure acts associated with them not being specified in the particular context though I meed to do more research on them. The final portion of the verse I believe would better be translated as "avoid him (Satan)" (faijtanibūhu) rather than "it" (pollution) though either translation works. The following verse helps clarify that “The devil only wants to cause strife between you through intoxicants and gambling, and to repel you away from remembering God and from the ṣalati”. If none of this is the case then Satan has been averted. One could argue that "alcohol" in itself is pollution for the body in the same way as a rancid meats (6:145 refers to flowing blood and carrion as rij's), though it would seem rancid meat was more dangerous than small quantities of alcohol. That being said, I would avoid all of it, and if not for the fact that alcohol doesn't taste good, I still think it is better not to consume, and also that drunkenness is not worth the risk for some, and for Muslims especially unhelpful, hence the words of God are a tremendous wisdom to be taken seriously.
Finally, take context (Muslim history) into consideration. The fact that the hadiths concerning alcohol spend so much time clarifying the apparent “prohibition” (and countering each others claims) suggests strongly that Qur'anic indication for prohibition was not so clear and required greater textual analysis once hadith appeared with strong prohibitive tones. Of course Allah (SWA) knows best. We have strong evidence Muslims were using alcohol until well after the Prophet's (pbuh) life. We find even respected “proto-Qadhis” portrayed as consumers of alcohol in biographies. There's also plenty of evidence of the common use of alcohol well after the Prophet's time in the debates of early jurists over whether or not only wine (khamr) is prohibited or all alcohol for instance. Hanafi scholars drew on traditions recalling the use of alcohol amongst the companions of the Prophet and point toward its use as an element of Quranic descriptions of Paradise. Cleverly they countered prohibitionist arguments that these references were metaphoric/symbolic by pointing out the obvious: if intoxicants were never consumed by the readers, they would not be able to recognize the symbolism. As you may be aware, the neo-traditionalists attempt to smooth out the kinks with the logically inconsistent "progressive prohibition theory".
What is certainly described by God as haram to consume is what we find in 5:3 and what we find in 16:14-15. I think it's extremely important to make these terminology distinctions in your reading. I suggest referring to a lexicon and using qurancorpus for help. I also encourage you to take a gander at Qurnacorpus's vid on alcohol. He did a tremendous job breaking down the terminology. May Allah keep us strong on this deen and send down the blessings upon the true servants and believers.
My thoughts exactly. Great breakdown and use of literal etymology and grammer to link accounts. You hit the nail on this one.
Thank you for your support based on harm alcohol, god bless you x

Mashallah
It appears people didn't like very much what they heard in this video. I would like to remind something to my brothers and sisters.
3:7 "He is the One who sent down to you the book; from which there are definite signs; they are the essence of the book; and others, which are multiple-meaning. As for those who have disease in their hearts, eager to cause confusion and eager to derive their interpretation, they will follow what is multiple-meaning from it. But none knows their meaning except Allah and those who are well founded in knowledge; they say 'We acknowledge it, all is from our Lord'. None will remember except the people of intellect."
Arabic words have multiple meanings. In order to understand the Qur'an properly, especially the verses with multiple meanings, one needs to find all verses regarding the subject he's looking into and pay attention to context. What The British Muslim did here was the right thing (Especially connecting 2:291 to 7:33).
I see people twisting the meaning of the verse 4:43 in order to make drinking alcohol lawful. If you are having a hard time quitting alcohol, May Allah help you. But taking verses out of context will do you no good. Please read 3:7 one more time.
Peace.
Hello and Welcome! This is Rilum Osmanaj!
Peace
but what i do in time taking medicine?
Bro it's the intent that matters if you are not using it to get drunk then it's fine sense your using it for medicanal reason the problem comes when you drink it to get drunk that's why the word "ithm" is used when God describes alcohol and gambling meaning there is deliberate sin in them. This is just my understanding
The minor alchol in medicine should not effect you as drinking alot
Sorry but it’s not haram, why? Because god didn’t add the word 👉forbidden👈 with alcohol and gambling, it’s just a cautious statement, it’s the same as👉 you can drink but don’t over do it and you can gamble but don’t over do it. They didn’t use alcohol for cleaning back then? If you follow Quranic guidance there’s nothing wrong with a drink and play a bit of lottery, but like always if you abuse anything it’s bad for you. Alcohol is not haram.
Exactly. The brother needs to learn Arabic if he wants to make videos. You can't take someone serious when he is explaining an Arabic Book without knowing Arabic. He is following hes desires. You can't trust a translation. So he follows the translation which suits hes desires. To really understand the Quran you need to master Arabic and have read the Quran a dozen of times from A to Z while asking God for the right understanding.
@@halotacon6546 uP
God doesn’t need to say forbidden for something to be haram. So what next being gay and doing the acts is not haram since Allah used the word transgressing when condemning gays instead of saying it’s forbidden. No gay, alcohol and gambling is still haram
CORRECT
Alcohol is Not *Haram* according to any verses of Qur'an but a *Great Sin* which is punishable by authorities. Below I put down the verses and a little bit of common sense.
They ask you about wine (khamr) and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit."
- Qur'an 2:219,
"O you who acknowledge, Do not go near prayer, (Salat) while you are stupified (under influence), until you know what you are saying"
- Qur'an 4:43,
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants (khamr), gambling, [sacrificing on] stone altars [to other than God], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
- Qur'an 5:90,
Alcohol is forbidden for it's intoxication properties. But from verious medicines to Soya sauce, vinegar have Alcohol in them. Do we committee a "great sin" while cooking with Soya sauce vinegar etc? No, do we get intoxicated for using perfumes and after shaves? No! But on the haram catagory a single piece of pork meat,oil etc is totally Haram no matter how it's hidden (like gummy bears) or well prepared. Same goes for the other Haram foods.
also in this verse it mentioned clearly in Arabic the word SIN and HARM for those who know Arabic
﴿وَمَن يَكسِب خَطيئَةً أَو إِثمًا ثُمَّ يَرمِ بِهِ بَريئًا فَقَدِ احتَمَلَ بُهتانًا وَإِثمًا مُبينًا﴾ [An-Nisâ': 112]
But whoever earns an offense ( offense wrong the arabic word خطيئة mean sin for those who know arabic )or a sin ( sin wrong the arabic word اثما mean harm for those who know arabic )and then blames it on an innocent [person] has taken upon himself a slander and manifest sin ( sin wrong meaning harm is the right word ) .
Saheeh International
Its true
God did not deprive alcohol
And you can not say that alcohol is haram
The problem is when you become a drunk
Exactly. The brother needs to learn Arabic.
@@halotacon6546 what is the intent when you drink alcohol bro so I would advise against the Qur'an calls gambling and alcohol "ithm" meaning deliberate sin meaning there is deliberate sin in them and we should avoid it. This is Just my understanding atleat
@@xls4750 The Israeli Messengers and other Prophets used to drink wine as well. We can read that in the Torah and the Zabur.
I drink it to relax. Of course my intention is not to sin with it.
Even Jesus Christ did drink wine. As we can read in the Injeel.
In Paradise there will be rivers of it!
@@halotacon6546 We focus on the Qur'an, not the Torah and injeel, which we believe to have been falsified.
I can't agree that murderes should pray they belong to Satan and not God. God only guides good people. This is the hypocrites in modern time think they can do bad things and still pray. God don't listen to evil people. Unless they repent.
