Why are Muslims Getting Tipsy?
Why are Muslims getting crunk? Its a good question that should be asked, but the point is obviously there is an absence of deen and understanding . All i gotta say is FEAR God Almighty (Allah)! I can understand when we slip on little things but if someone claims to be a Muslim then enjoys drinking alcohol which directly has been forbidden (haram) by Allah then come on whats happening?. Stop following lil john, follow the sunnah!
God Almighty says in the Quran “They ask you concerning alcohol and gambling. Say: “In them is a great sin, and some benefits for men, but the sin is far greater than the benefit.”Holy Qur’an 2:219. So chill out.
Whats interesting is that our Prophet Muhammad said “Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…”
From looking at this hadith, you can sort of say that is expected for some of the ummah to fall into these practices, now a person who is Muslim and is drinking obviously can’t use this hadith and say its ok for me to drink. This hadith reflects the reality of the signs of the day of judgment. The signs include such as the decline of knowledge, the spread of ignorance, drinking of wine or alcohol, competition in the construction of tall buildings, and many others.
The scholars have listed almost sixty signs, some of which will accompany the major signs, or will appear afterwards.
So back to the matter at hand, recently i came across an halal restaurant that had a coors light advertisement, i guess people do anything to make money in this country now. The same happen when i walked into a deli that was selling lotto and beer, when i asked the brother why he was selling it he said “Alhumduillah, this is America, we do business for everyone”, i was going to tell him ” good luck on the day of judgment”.
It all comes down to immediate pleasure, enjoyment, lack of taqwa and is a direct reflection of the state the individual is in. People drink to escape reality, this is what they do to numb their soul but obviously it all comes to an end. Mashallah thats why we have to hold onto our deen, my man Shaykh Hamza Yusuf mentioned that doctors will tell people that alcohol is good for their heart, never mind their kidneys and liver. Then he continued and said something mad real, he said if you look at what alcohol does to society it basically leaves two groups, those who drink moderately and the other group which are addicted.
Alcohol is responsible for over 100,000 deaths in the United States each year, the Shaykh said this is why Islam is so great because it prohibits something to save that small percentage. Yes you have people that drink it moderately but those who drink it like water, look at how many hit and run accident there are and deaths, this is one of the benefits why Islam prohibits it. Think about it.
I also have to say, all these Desi party’s that Hindus do with Muslims are one of the reasons why our ummah is slipping, they create this conformity with culture to our south asian brothers and sisters and boom look what happens. Astugfurillah Ak, gotta be on point and have strong willpower. Napolean from the Outlaws who reverted to Islam Mashallah said ” when i came back from hajj, i had this beautiful feeling i never felt before in my life, Alcohol never gave me this feeling, it must have been that zam zam water”. Haha, real talk by brother Napoleon.
Oh yea even if your not muslim you should stop drinking for your own benefit as a human being, Inshallah we should make dua for all those who are drinking stop (muslim and non muslim) and Allah give them hidayat (Guidance) and save them from the Hellfire. Ameen! leave a comment, pass the knowledge inshallah, and next time someone offers you Alcohol or calls you to a place where everybody will get crunk, drunk. Stay as a real true servant of Allah (SWT) and be like “Chill Yo Islam Yo”
