I am not sure about this, as I have many muslim friends who consume alcohol, they don't seem to get bothered by the religion with their habits, they avoid only pork, nothing else. I am pretty confused with the logic of, you can eat a living creature but not tiny molecules ?
I also know a lot of muslims who do. It's always easy to find people who claim a religion. When it comes to following it, it's different. But also depends on what country they're from, I think.
it really adds confusion to the lives of the followers. What sort of justice is that. It's like god is standing right behind you waiting for you to screw up and then watch u squirm in fear over something u didn't do on purpose.
you have really to use your mind and not what you read from stupid ones... to understand this forbidden. There is no contradiction or discrepancy. Case 1 : Drugs are Forbidden => You consume a drugs => A Judge (Law) => You get in Jail : Which mean Drugs are Forbidden (Right) Case 2 : Alcohol is Forbidden => Muslims Choice is not to Consume It => No Jail + No Stupid Acts + No Headache + No Money Wasted + No Body Hurts So at all for one you have the CHOICE between Case 1 or Case 2, as simple as is it.... In the question you used the word "accidentally" so it was not his/her choice... Logic
well i don't know much about islam but one thing is for sure anything done out of mistake is not taken very heavily anywhere. Rest only muslims will be able to tell
I have a predicament, that if I have to choose between wine and heaven, what should I do? I know I am promised wine in heaven but I have a choice to have it now... wink wink,, What if I am habituated to drink everyday but justify it accidental every morning? Just joking Drinking soda is not known to develop into alcohol drinking habit. These things are just individual choices. However, please tell me what's the big deal about being a teetotaler (100% non-alcoholic) This sounds weird.
There is no harm in accidents. If a Muslim eats pork or drinks Alcohol by mistake, it is forgiven. Not everyone who quotes something means they believe in it. I think the quote was more to instruct and an attempt to answer the OP. First, let me clear up that we don't believe that Alcohol is Satan's work. It was man made and Allah has allowed many religions and people before us to consume it. It was forbidden to us as Muslims, imo because it's negatives outweigh the positives. If you believe in heaven and that anything is possible in heaven, I don't see the harm of allowing alcohol in it, since by consensus nothing bad can happen in heaven (excluding what has happened ). I assume that the translation on that Hadith was wrong by mistake and not by purpose. It was reported that the Prophet PBUH was offered Nabeed, which is translated into unfermented wine, which drinking of is allowed Islamically. Once it is fermented, it becomes prohibited. Again, imo, I think that such "wisely" actions are hard to come by. Yes, there are many wise drinkers out there, but we all know how many deaths occur (let it be by guns, driving, etc..) because of drinking. Which is why I think that it was dis-allowed for Muslims. Personally, I think that Jesus PBUH did not turn water into fermented wine, but unfermented wine. The main reason why most people are going to say unfermented because they have a hard time believing that since Jesus PBUH delivers men from drunkedness why would He have turned something that they consider sinful to be served. Here is a good topic you can read on this: http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=40557&forum=35
Religion of Fear. A God who sends his followers to Hell, and those who do not follow and commit all kinds of sin, get no punishment LOL, they go straight to heaven. Just like the illegal immigrants in this country. Because of their backward thinking, Middle East is in a hell hole. And they run to western countries to spread the hate and rape girls.
There's a universal principle in Islam.... "innamal a'malu binniyat" People can get sin even if they do good deeds....it's all in your heart, whether you're purposeful or sincere. So, if you don't purposely drink alcohol, it isn't a sin.
no... we as good muslims never drink alcohol.. because that can broken brain and losing ourself.. we are never ever do it..
Don't deny the fact that alcohol is bad for you. In my opinion, it's just another way to escape from reality. You hate your reality? Then FREAKING FIX IT!
