My wife has been reading the Quran and Hadith and keeps asking me questions
Her question is "Why are we allowed to drink alcohol in Jannah but not here?"
I could say to her "Its a test" but that seemed a bit shallow.
Can anyone help? She is Referring to:
Chapter 47: Verse 15
A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord. (Are those who enjoy all this) like those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels?
Well Its Just MY view But We musnt Compare jannah with this earthly life
What I believe is that things Haram here , they will be halal there and even better ,
Wich are filty here is clean there and even better, do you know what I mean ?
But thats my view
but Allahu Alim , Allah Knows BEST!
And as for the onewho fears standing in front of His Lord and restrainsthe soul from impure evil desires and lusts, verily, Paradise will be his abode [79:40-41]
basically, tell her that this life is a mixture of bad and good. you'll see the description of wine in the qur'an which doesn't intoxicate, it doesn't make you drunk or out of control, it doesn't give you a hangover - like the alcohol wine/drinks do in this world etc.
the afterlife is not a mixture of good or bad, but just pure good reward or pure evil punishment [paradise or hell].
paradise is all that the heart and soul desires, there are no limits, and there is no harm in what the people of paradise get and do.
whatever the people of hell experience and taste, they never get any goodness from, ie. even the food they eat does not fulfill their hunger, and has such an evil taste i.e. waste from bodily wounds, boiling hot water etc.
Muslims are tested for their patience in this life and sincerety to Allah. We are given a mixture of bad and good to test our sincerety to Him, to give us a slight taste of some good/bad etc. and whatever He forbids us for our own good, and whatever He invites us to do is for a greater good.
I am not quite sure and might make mistake so please forgive me if I give the wrong info. But I heard the reason alcohol was prohibited (it was allowed before) because muslims couldn't perform their prayers probably, therefore, Allah , SHW, ordered alcohol to be avioded. Hence, haram.
Is it that in Jannah (heaven), humans are no longer needed to pray therefore can consume alcohol? I am not sure but may be. I have no source to back my writtens so you guys have no reason to believe.

I, too, have heard (and read) that it was halal to previous ummats but did not want to interrupt the flow of the thread for fear of bringing down an avalanche of google pastings upon meself
dare I say they had only access to earthly brewers/distillers etc

It was bit off topic question. What I meant is Are muslims required to perform prayers even in heaven? If no then may be that is why alcohol is allowed. But I am just manupilating this so could be wrong.

Lets take the hypothetical situation you can get drunk in Jannah. Firstly, you can't harm in Jannah. Alcohol is prohibited in this life, because it not only causes alot of harm to you, it can potentially lead you to harm others due to it. I think that makes any further questions unneccessary.
I think it says some where else in the Quran when its talking about wine that it will have all of the alcohol out of it. So it would not make the person "drunk", if you get what I'm trying to say.

Jazakallah Khayran
Very interesting question Brother. Does anyone know? Will we have to perform Salaat in Jannah?
No you dont HAVE to perform salah in jannah but if you want you can , wouldnt be nice when you can perform salah with Prophet Muhammed ( Sallallahu aleyhi wa sallam )
But I think you would be automatically thinkin( thanking, praising etc.) of Allah(swt) in Jannah, so i think it wont be obligatory for us like in this world
I know I dont have resources but ive heard this in some lectures
Soo Allah Knows BEST!

According to scholars, we do not. I have heard in various lectures [but don't have the link to them right now], that Salah was to increase our good deeds in this world, to gain reward and to work for the Hereafter.
When we enter Jannah, we will indulge in relaxation and pleasures and endless delights [SubhaanAllaah, may Allaah make us one of them, Ameen]. But, if you wish, you could pray Salah if you wanted, although we would get no reward for it.
imo the whole point boils down to not what kind of wine will be drank but what is the reason for wine being forbidden on earth?
and that is answered:
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 doth Allah Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider
2:219
so the whole thing is not the wine will be alchoholic or not, after all there will be hoors for men in jannah, but that doesnt make zina or earth halal or desire in jannah for women different. Jannah is a place of pleasure without the bad and harm pleasures can cause on earth
My christian friend told me the Jesus(as) drank wine. He said its in the bible.
I know that Jesus(as) turned water in to wine with the permission of ALLAH(swt) Can anybody explain this to me?
Thank You
Wine may have been permissible at the law of Prophet Jesus, but the final law which all of mankind has to accept and follow to succeed is what was revealed to Allah's final Messenger, Muhammad (sal Allah alaihi wasalam.) It's haraam to drink alcohol and intoxicants in the law revealed to him, so we are not allowed to now.
