THEY ASK YOU ABOUT WINE AND GAMBLING. SAY, "IN BOTH THERE IS GREAT SIN, AND SOME BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE. AND THEIR SIN IS GREATER THAN THEIR BENEFIT." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 219)
THE PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL - PART 1
When Islam came, drinking was common practice as part of the general state of Jahiliya (ignorance) customs. When the Holy Prophet ﷺ emigrated to Madinah Munawwarah, people of that city were also accustomed to wine and gambling. However, it is the usual practice of Allah that there are, in every nation and country, sensible people who use reason to control their desires. They abstain from an innate desire if their reason tells them that it is harmful for them. In this regard, the station of the Holy Prophet SAW was very high, for he had a natural distaste for things that were going to be declared Hara'am later on.
