Buraiyon ki Maa | Mother of Evils
A foolish argument
Some foolish people satisfy themselves with lame excuses that alcohol is Ḥarām, whereas we drink whisky, brandy, beer and champagne, etc. that are not alcohol. By such excuses these foolish people try to call a donkey as a horse but a donkey is a donkey and a horse is a horse. Changing the names doesn’t invalidate the ruling as alcohol remains as alcohol. However, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم addressed such unwise people centuries ago as, ‘Some people in my Ummaĥ will drink alcohol by changing its name; instruments of music will be played around them and lady singers will sing songs. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will bury them in the earth and some of them will be turned into monkeys and pigs.’ (Sunan Ibn Mājaĥ, vol. 4, pp. 368, Ḥadīš 4020)
Ten harms of alcoholism
Imām
Abul Farāj ‘Abdur Raḥmān
bin ‘Alī Muḥaddiš Jauzī
عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ
الۡـقَـوِی (died in 597 A.H.) has stated
in Baḥr-ud-Dumū’:
Remember! Drinking has 10 harmful effects:
1. It impairs the intellect of a person and he becomes a comical for children. Imām Ibn Abid Dunyā رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stated, ‘I saw an alcoholic passing urine and applying it over his face and saying: O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Include me amongst those who repent excessively and remain pure.’ He further quoted, ‘I saw an intoxicated person who had vomited and a dog was licking his face. The drunk person was saying to the dog that O my master! May Allah give you sainthood like the friends of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’
2. It wastes and destroys money and causes deprivation. Sayyidunā ‘Umar Fārūq Al-A’ẓam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ prayed in
