Buraiyon ki Maa | Mother of Evils
Zamīn baujĥ say mayray pĥaṫtī naĥīn ĥay
Yeĥ Tayrā ĥī to ĥay karam Yā Ilāĥī
Bařī koshishayn kī gunāĥ cĥořnay kī
Raĥay aĥ! Nākām ĥam Yā Ilāĥī
The earth does not split
owing to the weight of my grave sins,
this is all because of Your benevolence, O Allah
We have tried our level best to refrain from sins
but all in vain, O Allah
vWhat is alcohol?
Let’s try to understand now ‘What is alcohol?’ and ‘Why has Islam ordered us to refrain from it?’
On page 671 of Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, volume 3 [the 1250-page publication of Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami], it is stated: The renowned Islamic scholar Muftī Amjad ‘Alī A’ẓamī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has mentioned that in the Arabic dictionary the word ‘Sharāb’ is referred to something which is consumed for drinking, whereas, in terms of Fuqaĥā (Islamic Jurisprudence), ‘Sharāb’ is referred to something that intoxicates. It has many kinds. One of its kinds is ‘Khamr’ i.e. wine which is made up from grapes. It is raw juice of grapes that has been fermented and has gained intensity. According to Imām-e-A’ẓam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, for becoming wine, frothing in it is necessary. Sometimes all kinds of wine are referred to ‘Khamr’ metaphorically. (Al-Fatāwā al-Ĥindiyyaĥ, vol. 5, pp. 409; Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 10, pp. 32)
Imām Ḥāfiẓ Muhammad bin Aḥmad Żaĥabī (died in 748 A.H.) has mentioned in his book ‘كِتَابُ الۡكَبَائِر’ (Kitāb-ul-Kabāir) that every such thing is termed as ‘Khamr’ that impairs the senses, whether it is wet or dry; eaten or drunk. (Kitāb-ul-Kabāir, pp. 92)
