اِنَّمَا یُرِ یۡدُ الشَّیۡطٰنُ اَنۡ یُّوۡقِـعَ بَیۡنَکُمُ الۡعَدَاوَۃَ وَ الۡبَغۡضَآءَ فِی الۡخَمۡـرِ
وَ الۡمَیۡسِرِ وَ یَصُدَّکُمۡ عَنۡ ذِکۡرِ اللّٰہِ وَعَنِ الصَّلٰوۃِ ۚ فَہَلۡ اَ نۡتُمۡ مُّنۡتَہُوۡنَ ﴿۹۱﴾
‘The devil only seeks to instil hatred and enmity between you with wine and gambling and to prevent you from the remembrance of Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) and from Ṣalāĥ; so have you desisted?’
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 7, Sūraĥ Al-Māidaĥ, Verse 91)
Dear Islamic brothers! The following two facts are evident from this verse of the Glorious Quran; (1) alcohol prevents from the remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and offering Ṣalāĥ, (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 صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Whoever misses one Ṣalāĥ 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 Imām Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, vol. 2, pp. 593, Ḥadīš 6671)
In another narration it is mentioned, ‘Whoever misses four Ṣalāĥs in the state of intoxication, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has the right to make him drink from طِيۡنَةُ الۡخَبَال. It was asked, ‘What is طِيۡنَةُ الۡخَبَال?’ It was replied, ‘The pus of the inmates of Hell.’ (Al-Mustadrak, vol. 5, pp. 202, Ḥadīš 7315)
