Why alcohol haram

God will swap their bad deeds with good deeds if they sincere in repentance. Just like many others sects of other religions. We use alcohol in medicine for different disease and some consider as disinfectant. Caffe and tea are good for other things in our body,but if you drink to much than you would have problem,maybe you can die. So everything excessive is not good. Even the most ignorant Muslims know any intoxican is haram.

La hawla wa la quwwata illah billah. Why do you think Allah even permits eating pork when it is the only resort or drink alcohol if it will save your life and there is no water around. Allah God in Arabic is the one in control of all.

Allah says eat and honor the people of the book and that is what we should all do. You do the right thing with the right intentions to forbid from haraam and let Allah take care of the rest. Yes you can ask not to be given pork nor alcohol in a salad but some Muslims really miss the point.

We Muslims are given the ok by God to honor the people of the book the Christians and the Jews. It is allowed to eat their food as long as it contains no pork.

Now, do Muslims have to investigate how the food was cooked? If it is cooked food then you know for sure that even if alcohol was used in the cooking that alcohol is gone period. Is it even possible to guarantee that a Muslim who slaughtered the animal from where we eat said the name of God when slaughtering???

No, and that is where we are ordered to trust in God and have the intention to avoid haraam but then eat from the Christians and the Jews and honor them for the sake of God.

There are so many provisions given in Islam that makes it easy on us, not difficult actually. With regard of meat, if those who slaughter it — companies or individuals — are from the People of the Book, Jews or Christians, then the meat is permissible. With this word of God, then the companions calmly eat the food from ahlul kitab and married their women.

What is meant by Ahlul Kitab here means food is food that is slaughtered by them. Whereas when they ate the forbidden animal like pigs, dogs, carrion and other haram animal, then the ruling is forbidden. Being concern and caution was nice to do, but does not mean we become rigid in applying them. Our religion is simple and natural, and teaches us to deal with all people fairly and justly; halal is halal and haram is haram regardless of whether it is provided by a Muslim or a non-Muslim.

The laws of Allah do not discriminate among people. It may be illuminating to know that the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him and his companions used to eat food that had been prepared by their pagan relatives and friends; they only avoided those foods which are forbidden in Islam or immolated to idols.

I find your response equal parts ridiculous and objectionable. You are allowed by God to honour Christians and Jews????? I would hope so after you adopted their God and plagiarized their Bible. I think far more deliberation and criticism should be given to the fact that the blessed prophet Mohamed consummated marriage with a ten year old child. Sorry, I prefer pure as the driven snow Jesus. I like my holy role models to be blemish free, innocent of sin and virtuous.

I took a course about the Fiqh of food and clothing with Sheikh Yasir Qadhi, and he stated that alcohol is not najis or impure.

It comes down to individual stress on a commandment. Some Muslims are fine with alcoholic ingredients, chewing addictive substances or cooking with wine. Halal and Haram ultimately come from God, and people choose to accept or reject it. Good article. A lot of items have been stretched to get into the Halal category due to the size of the burgeoning market.

The rule is: No blood, no alcohol and no meat or meat derived stuff like stock or gelatine unless it was slaughtered in Halal fashion. Game and Kosher meat are ok.

Milk, cheese, fish and eggs are fine too. Unusual food items might be ok for consumption or not depending of the school of jurisprudence.

However, many would object to someone drinking alcohol at their table, be in the same room or refuse to eat in an establishment that serves alcohol at all. I find it silly though. These tips are all good to know for what people should think about when they host Muslims. Religious Jews typically will not eat food in a non-Kosher home or the home of someone who is not observing the Sabbath.

How do Muslims decide if they should eat with others or at anothers home? Is there Halal certification for restaurants or rule of thumb rules? Muslims are not so strict about this kind of thing or about the handling of cutlery like some of my Jewish friends do.

There are indeed Halal certifications for restaurants all over the world especially in the US and in Canada but even in the UK and France that I know of. But restaurants that serve halal meat always have a certificate that authenticates the meat as being halal. I have in fact encouraged several non-Muslim friends to try the local halal butcher because the meat is very good and fresh and they have and are very happy with it…so really we are not so rigid and conservative about every little detail.

What about gat chewing in Yemen? Alcohol and prayer do not mix. You must be logged in to post a comment. Home About Contact Us Search for:. Facebook Comments. Share, please. Share on Tumblr Pocket.

Most of the time, these are results of overindulgence of alcohol. There are ways to prevent them, and laws to enforce them. Look past the surface and obvious judgements, and have a fresh take on it.

All around the world, alcohol is used to bring people together at parties, events and social gatherings. Is Alcohol Haram. By that, it means not overindulging to the point of passing out and losing full control of themselves. Some can be put in situations that they are required to — like a company event where the only beverage served is wine, or a social gathering where your absence is considered extremely rude.

Is it considered unfortunate, though, that the number of Muslims indulging alcohol is rising? When in fact, it was already a cultural norm back in the early days.

Does it make me less Muslim? To some, the answer is yes, of course it does. A drinker does not a Muslim make. When it comes to religion, there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all. It is, as said, personal. Medicines and perfumes that contain alcohol not from khamr source that being used as a solvent is not najs.
