QUR'AN AND HADITH<br />

<strong>The</strong> above is just one example <strong>of</strong> how God speaks! Other examples are to follow. Can<br />

any sincere seeker <strong>of</strong> truth be convinced in any easier way? <strong>The</strong> answer is 'No!' Yet He<br />

(God) Reasons with the recalcitrant in the following words:-<br />

Say:<br />

"Are the blind equal<br />

With those who see?"<br />

Of course not!<br />

(HOLY QUR'AN 13:16)<br />

Now compare the above Words <strong>of</strong> God <strong>Al</strong>mighty on the subject <strong>of</strong> 'WINE' (intoxicants)<br />

with the words <strong>of</strong> His Chosen Messenger Muhummed Mustafa (pbuh), NOT<br />

FORGETTING that the above verse 2:219 and what follows from the Hadith below were<br />

heard from the lips <strong>of</strong> the Prophet (pubh) and recorded by his Companions:<br />

Ibn Anas (RA) reported that the Messenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah cursed every one who was<br />

associated in any way with the production and consumption <strong>of</strong> any kind <strong>of</strong> intoxicating<br />

beverages. He said:<br />

1. Cursed is he who grows grapes for brewing. 54<br />

2. Cursed is he who sells it.<br />

3. Cursed is he who crushes it.<br />

4. Cursed is he who bottles it, and<br />

5. Cursed is he who drinks it, or words to this effect.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Holy Prophet (pbuh) is also reported to have said:<br />

53 I cannot urge too strongly upon my Muslim brethen to memorize the verse with its<br />

meaning and share it with all who will give you a hearing.<br />

54 It is the brewing <strong>of</strong> fermenting that invites the curse. Otherwise, the planting <strong>of</strong> fruit<br />

trees for the purpose <strong>of</strong> eating or selling their fruits is an act <strong>of</strong> virtue for which <strong>Al</strong>lah<br />

rewards us.
