I know the usual thread of
Furahiday will come up soon. I just want say something to those who like this drink.
But first, allow me to quote something:
Quote:The modern disease theory of alcoholism states that problem drinking is sometimes caused by a disease of the brain, characterized by altered brain structure and function.
The American Medical Association (AMA) had declared that alcoholism was an illness in 1956.
The AMA further endorsed the dual classification of alcoholism by the International Classification of Diseases under both psychiatric and medical sections in 1991.
We have to be sympathetic to the alcoholics
Today, medical doctors say alcoholism is a disease.
And I say to those who will partake:- if alcoholism is a disease then
- it is the only disease that is sold in bottles
- it is the only disease that is advertised in newspapers, in the magazines, on radio, on TV channels,
- it is the only disease that has a licensed outlet for sale
- it is the only disease that gets revenue for many governments of the world
- it is the only disease that brings deaths on the high ways
- it is the only disease that destroys families
- it is the only disease that has no viral or germ as its cause
Quran 5:90, Allah says, it is not a disease, it is Satan's handiwork.Quote:O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah],
and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
