1- The Holy Qur'an tells us to "stay away" from alcohol. No where it says it is "haram". Whey then it is declared haram by the Muslims?
In one of your responses you say that there was no need for the Qur’an to expressly declare alcohol haram. I understand the following verses do declare it haram. Please comment.
Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; (sins) and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to God, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about God of which ye have no knowledge. (Q 7:33)
They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus does God Make clear to you His Signs: In order that you may consider. (Q. 2.219)

I am a 37 year old divorced woman and I wear hijab. Can I marry a man who would not like me to do hijab and drinks a glass of wine once a month? He doesn’t get drunk.
Read MoreI have a few questions. My first question relates to the consumption of alcohol. I know it is haram. But living in a western country, where it is part of the social life, one has to mix with the people who drink. I have been avoiding drinking but attended parties and social gatherings where wine is served. Recently I came across a book where it was written that Hadrat Umar (sws) used to punish those people who attended parties like these. Where does Islam stand on this?
Could you please guide me about the Friday Prayers? Is it true that if I missed three in a row I am no more a Muslim? I also wanted to share that I have to pay my car insurance and for this purpose I have to pay interest. Are there exceptions for Muslims who are living in non-Muslim countries?
Read MoreI was studying Surah al-Nahl from Maulana Maududi’s commentary on the Qur’an. The interpretation of a verse in it by the Maulana does not convince me. Please comment.
And from the fruits of date-palms and grapes, you derive strong drink and a goodly provision. Verily, therein is indeed a sign for people who have wisdom. (Q. 16:67)
And of the fruits of the date-palm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and (also) good nourishment. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who have sense. (Q. 16:67)
And out of the fruits of date-palms and grapes you derive intoxicants as well as wholesome sustenance. Surely there is a sign for those who use reason.
And Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, then He revives the earth therewith after its death. Verily, in this is a sign (clear proof) for people who listen (obey Allah). And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers. And from the fruits of date-palms and grapes, you derive strong drink and a goodly provision. Verily, therein is indeed a sign for people who have wisdom. And your Lord inspired the bees, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect. "Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think. And Allah has created you and then He will cause you to die, and of you there are some who are sent back to senility, so that they know nothing after having known (much). Truly! Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful. (Q. 16:65- 70)
Why is wine not prohibited in Paradise as in this world?
Read MoreDoes the Holy Qur’an specifically declare ‘alcohol’ or wine prohibited (haram)? Some people argue that it does not. Therefore, these people contend that a Muslim can consume alcohol as long as it does not cause a loss of sanity and he does not fall into the state of mindlessness. Please provide Qur’anic reference in support of your reply.
Read Moreقرآن مجید میں چار چیزوں کو حرام قرار دیا گیا ہے۔ ان میں شراب شامل نہیں ہے۔ شراب کے بارے میں بس یہ کہا گیا ہے کہ تم نشے کی حالت میں نماز کے قریب نہ جاؤ۔اس کے علاوہ شراب سے بچنے کا حکم دیا گیا ہے، لیکن ایسا کیوں ہے کہ مسلمان شراب کو خدا کی حرام کردہ دوسری سب چیزوں سے زیادہ حرام سمجھتے ہیں؟ ایسا کیوں ہے کہ اسلام شراب کی حرمت سے شروع ہوتا ہے اور عورتوں پر طرح طرح کی پابندیاں لگانے پر پہنچ کر ختم ہو جاتا ہے؟
پڑھیے۔۔۔میں امریکا میں الکحل کی پابندی کے حوالے سے ایک مضمون لکھ رہا ہوں۔ اس سلسلے میں مجھے ایک استدلال سے سابقہ پیش آیا ہے اور مجھے اس کا جواب دینا ہے۔ یہ لوگ کہتے ہیں کہ اگر ایک آدمی الکحل استعمال کرتا ہے اور سڑک پر کسی کے لیے نقصان کا باعث نہیں بنتا تو اسے الکحل کے استعمال کے حق سے محروم کرنا کیسے درست ہے؟
