Islam forbids aggression against the mind by deceiving it, misleading it, neglecting it, corrupting it, or concealing it.
Ibn Majah, may God have mercy on him, narrated a hadith that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: ““Whoever drinks wine and becomes intoxicated, his prayer will not be accepted for forty mornings, and if he dies, he will enter Hell. If he repents, God will repent to him, and if he again drinks and becomes intoxicated, His prayers were not accepted for forty mornings. If he died, he would enter Hell. If he repented, God would repent to him. If he drank again and became intoxicated, his prayers were not accepted. Forty mornings, and if he dies, he will enter Hell. If he repents, God will repent to him, and if he returns, it is God’s duty to give him a drink of the stench of intoxication on the Day of Judgment. “resurrection”», « They said: O Messenger of God, and what is the stench of sputum? He said: “The juice of the people of Hell.”» [صحيح] .
Dear brothers:
Two weeks ago, we had an extensive discussion about the blessing of the mind, and that it is the greatest of blessings, and that it is an adornment, and that it is light, and that the blessing of the mind is the greatest of meanings, and the most useful of the senses. It is only with the mind that man is distinguished from the beast, and with the mind a person knows right from wrong, and with the mind that is supported and supported. Through heavenly revelation, a person is guided to his interests, and with reason, a person avoids what is harmful to him. Reason is a condition for establishing guardianship over oneself and others, and there is no validity for a person’s disposal of money or a contract unless Be wise and rational.
In the messages of the prophets, the Lord of the Worlds, Glory be to Him, did not address anyone except rational people.
Hence, Islam’s strong call to the necessity of preserving the mind, from where it exists, from where it works, from where it is alert and present..
Islam forbids aggression against the mind by deceiving it, misleading it, neglecting it, corrupting it, or concealing it.
It is not permissible for a person to corrupt another person’s mind by hitting or harming him, and if we assume that a person hits another person and corrupts his mind, this aggressor will be fined a full blood money, because whoever corrupts a person’s mind is as if he had killed him. Therefore, when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, wrote a letter to Amr ibn Hazam, it said: (And in Ibn Qudamah said: We do not know of any disagreement among jurists about this.
I said: This is what the man-made laws of this era have understood in terms of the prescribed punishment for those who trade in white poisons, and who trade in corrupting minds, and who profit from the ruin of homes, and who trade in drugs. Governments have decided to impose the death penalty against whoever trades in these white poisons and corrupts people’s minds and homes with them by ruling. Death penalty…
What did the Holy Quran call these toxins?
These toxins that corrupt the mind, destroy it, destroy it, destroy a person’s faith, destroy him psychologically, eliminate him mentally and healthily, strip him morally, and bring immediate ruin to his home and family. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, called them “wine.”
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ““Every intoxicant is alcohol, and every intoxicant is forbidden.”» (Narrated by Muslim).
A man came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said: “O Messenger of God, we are in a cold land where we are dealing with a difficult task, and we are taking a drink from this wheat to gain strength with it for our deeds and for our It was cold in our country, so the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked him and said: Does it cause intoxication? He said: Yes. He said: So avoid it.» (Narrated by Abu Dawud)
On the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah, he said: The Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: ““Whatever intoxicates in large amounts, a small amount of it is forbidden.”» (Narrated by Abu Dawud)
On the authority of the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may God be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: ““Every intoxicant is forbidden, as long as it is intoxicating, a portion full of it is forbidden.” » (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi) and in a narration: «“It is forbidden to eat anything from it.”“.
These toxins that assassinate the mind, corrupt it, destroy it, destroy it, destroy a person psychologically, mentally, health-wise, and financially, bring ruin to his home and family, and impose torment on his parents, wife, and child. These toxins were given by the Noble Qur’an with a broad name that combines all their colors and types. The Noble Qur’an called them “wine” and warned against dealing in them for sale or sale. Buying, squeezing, drinking, carrying, watering, or the like, so he said: {﴾O you who have believed! Indeed, wine, gambling, sacrums, and sharp arrows are only an abomination from the work of Satan. So avoid it that you may succeed.}
The word wine has a narrow meaning, but it has a broad meaning.
Wine, in its narrow sense, is that well-known fermented juice, with a vile taste and smell, and a vile effect. However, the word wine’s meaning expands after that to include everything that has become dull, absent, or numb to the mind, thus corrupting it. So what does the action of wine, God calls it wine, even if we call it by another name.
On the authority of Abu Malik Al-Ash’ari, he heard the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him) say: ““Some people from my nation will drink wine, calling it by another name.”» (Narrated by Abu Dawud)
Here a question arises:
What is the reason for prohibiting alcohol?
What is the reason for the drugs and poisons that work on the minds like alcohol?
The reason for the prohibition, in my opinion, is that it is one of the reasons for the loss of the nation, the loss of youth, and the loss of their strength and energies in what harms them and does not benefit them.
Then one of the reasons for taking these poisons is that they cut off the servant from his Lord when they prevent him from praying, from remembering God, from keeping company with the righteous, and from sitting with the pious.
Then it separates a person from other people, creating enmity and hatred between them. “Satan only wants to create between you enmity and hatred because of wine and gambling, and to turn you away from the remembrance of God and prayer – so are you desisted?}
Then the effects of taking these poisons include blatant aggression against the mind, the loss of a person’s chivalry, the elimination of his dignity, spending money on things that are harmful and not beneficial, the pursuit of slow self-killing, the audacity to kill others, the absence of distinction between right and wrong, wasting the rights of parents, and destroying families. , incest, and other deadly things..
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Omar, that Abu Bakr, Omar, and some of the companions of the Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) sat after the death of the Prophet and mentioned the greatest sins (they mentioned disobedience to parents – they mentioned eating orphans’ money – they mentioned false witness – They mentioned consuming people’s wealth unjustly – they mentioned witchcraft – they mentioned adultery – they mentioned slandering chaste, unaware, believing women… and they mentioned other major sins…) but they did not agree on which of these major sins is the greatest crime…
Abdullah bin Omar said, “Then they sent me to Abdullah bin Amr to ask him. When I asked him, ‘Which major sins are the greatest crimes?’” He said: The greatest sin is drinking alcohol.
Ibn Omar said, so I came back and said: Abdullah bin Amr says that the greatest sin is drinking alcohol!!
So they were taken aback and astonished, and they all jumped towards him until they found him in his house. They said, “Where do you come from to say:
The greatest sin is drinking alcohol?!
He said: Because I heard the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) say: “One of the kings of the children of Israel took a man and gave him a choice between drinking wine or killing a person or committing adultery or eating the flesh of a pig or… They killed him, so he chose wine and drank it.. He said: And when he drank the wine, he did not abstain from anything they wanted from him, and the Messenger of God said to us (at that time) that no one He drinks it, and his prayers are accepted for forty nights, and he does not die with any of it in his bladder, unless Paradise is forbidden to him with it. If he dies in forty nights, he dies a dead death. Ignorance», (Narrated by Al-Tabarani).
Today we are talking about alcohol and the poisons and drugs that do its job, as a notification to the people, and an apology to God Almighty, that we have spoken, warned, informed, taught, and understood, and every human being after that is a jurist for himself.
God Almighty said to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and to everyone who took the place of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, {(Remember, but you are a Reminder. You have no control over them.)}
We ask God Almighty, Lord of the Noble Throne, to rectify our conditions and improve our outcome in all matters. He is the Guardian and Master of that, and He has power over all things.
The second sermon
In conclusion of the discussion about the prohibition of alcohol and the prohibition of what it does, such as poisons and drugs, it remains for us to say:
Among the wines is wine that God Almighty has made lawful. Among the wines is wine with which God rewards His servants.
It is said to them: {“Eat and drink comfortably for what you used to do.”}
It is the wine of the Hereafter, a drink from the drink of Paradise and a juice from the juices of Paradise. God Almighty said: {﴿An example of Paradise which has been promised to the righteous, in which are rivers of unhealthy water and rivers of milk whose taste has not changed. And rivers of delicious wine to the drinkers, and rivers of refined honey – and for them therein are all kinds of fruits.}
The wine of Paradise is permissible because it does not assassinate the mind, because it does not corrupt or dull it. The wine of Paradise is delicious, the wine of Paradise does not cause headaches, the wine of Paradise is a juice in which some of the rivers of Paradise flow, the wine of Paradise is a permissible juice because it is created by God, Blessed and Most High, for His faithful servants..
God Almighty said {“Indeed, you will taste the painful punishment. “And you will not be rewarded except for what you used to do. “Except the servants of God. The sincere ones: These are the ones for whom is a known provision, its fruits, and they will be honored. A cup of Ma’in – ﴾ ﴿ White, a delight to the drinkers ﴿ ﴿ There is no deceit in it, nor do they abstain from it ﴾}
The people of Paradise are in Paradise, they eat and drink, and they do not urinate or defecate, and they come together and do not separate. The people of Paradise are in Paradise, they are blessed and do not suffer, they are healthy and do not get sick, and they grow old and do not grow old.
{﴿And those who believe in you and whose descendants follow them in faith, We will join with them their descendants, and We have not given them anything of their deeds. “And We will provide them with fruit and meat of whatever they desire.” They will drink therein as a cup without idle talk. therein, and there is no sin.}
We ask God Almighty to make us all among the people of Paradise. Oh God, Amen.
