6024 The Wine will be of the utmost purity and flavour, so precious that it will be protected with a seal, and the seal itself will<br />

be of the costly material of musk, which is most highly esteemed in the East for its perfume. Perhaps a better<br />

interpretation of the "seal" is to take it as implying the final effect of the drink: just as a seal close a document, so the<br />

seal of the drink will be the final effect of the delicious perfume and flavour of musk, heightening the enjoyment and<br />

helping in the digestion. (83.25)<br />

83:27 - With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim: 6026<br />

6026 Tasnim literally indicates height, fulness, opulence. Here it is the name of a heavenly Fountain, whose drink is<br />

superior to that of the Purest Wine. It is the nectar drunk by Those Nearest to Allah (n. 5227 to lvi. 11), but a flavour of<br />

it will be given to all. See n. 5835 to lxxvi. 5 (Kafur fountain), and n. 5849 to lxxvi. 17-18 (Salsabil). (83.27)<br />

83:28 - A spring from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah.<br />

14:16 - In front of such a one is Hell and he is given for drink boiling fetid water.<br />

6:70 - Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement and are deceived<br />

by the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) this (truth): that every soul delivers itself to ruin<br />

by its own acts: it will find for itself no protector or intercessor except Allah: if it offered every<br />

ransom (or reparation) none will be accepted: such is (the end of) those who deliver<br />

themselves to ruin by their own acts: they will have for drink (only) boiling water and for<br />

punishment one most grievous: for they persisted in rejecting Allah. 893894<br />

893 Cf. vi 32. where we are told that the life of this world is mere play and amusement, and Religion and the Hereafter are<br />

the serious things that require our attention. Worldly people reverse this because they are deceived by the<br />

allurements of this life. But their own acts will find them out. (6.70)<br />

894 We must never forget our own personal responsibility for all we do, or deceive ourselves by the illusion of vicarious<br />

atonement. (6.70)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 3.644 Narrated by<br />

Anas<br />

I was the butler of the people in the house of Abu Talha, and in those days drinks were prepared from dates. Allah's Apostle<br />

ordered somebody to announce that alcoholic drinks had been prohibited. Abu Talha ordered me to go out and spill the wine.<br />

I went out and spilled it, and it flowed in the streets of Medina. Some people said, "Some people were killed and wine was still<br />

in their stomachs." On that the Divine revelation came: "On those who believe And do good deeds There is no blame For<br />

what they ate (in the past)." (5.93)<br />

Prohibition against Drinking from Silver Vessels and Blowing into Drinks<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Zayd ibn Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab from Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman<br />

ibn Abi Bakras-Siddiq from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that the<br />

Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A person who drinks from a silver vessel brings the fire<br />

of Jahannam into his belly."<br />

DROWN:<br />

7:136 - So We exacted retribution from them: We drowned them in the sea because they rejected<br />

Our signs and failed to take warning from them. 10941095<br />

1094 When at last Pharaoh let Israel go, they selected, not the highway to Canaan, along the Mediterranean and by Gaza,<br />

because they were unarmed and would have encountered immediate opposition there, but by way of the wilderness of<br />

Sinai. They crossed the Red Sea, while Pharaoh's host which came in pursuit was drowned. Cf. ii. 50. (7.136)<br />

26:66 - We delivered Moses and all who were with him;<br />
