Dear Islamic brothers! The following two facts are evident from this verse of the Glorious Quran; (1) alcohol prevents from the remembrance of Allah and offering ᚢalÄ ÄĽ, (2) it becomes a cause of enmity and malice. Satan is an open enemy of mankind, he can never be well-wisher; instead he remains busy in the efforts to somehow deviate a person from the right $ path. Thus, the Holy Prophet   Ů–   ‍  "   ‏ ! # has said, ‘Whoever misses one ᚢalÄ ÄĽ in the state of intoxication, it is as if he had the world and all that it contains but all were grabbed from him’. (Al-Musnad ImÄ m AḼmad bin Ḥanbal, vol. 2, pp. 593, ḤadÄŤĹĄ 6671)

In another narration it is mentioned, ‘Whoever misses four ᚢalÄ ÄĽs in the state of intoxication, Allah has the right to ŮŽ ŰĄ ‍ء ŰĄŮ?ŮŠ َن Ů?؊‏. It was asked, ‘What is ‍ال ŮŽبال‏ ŮŽ ŰĄ ‍’?ء ŰĄŮ?ŮŠ َن Ů?؊‏ make him drink from ‍ال ŮŽبال‏ It was replied, ‘The pus of the inmates of Hell.’

(Al-Mustadrak,

vol. 5, pp. 202, Ḥadčť 7315)
