I know I did not mean to encurgage the act. I just meant its hard to judge with out knowing by understanding. Yes you know it clouds but do you understand how it coulds. I mean you can say how horrid and it is I just feel its not right to fully judge with out knowing.

Why is fitnah to vote yes if that is the truth?

You say judging, and I ask you, what would the penal system and laws be like if we only judged people after walking in their shoes? If we were all criminals, then why would what we do, be a crime?

This is not how laws work. I mean, really, universally, this is not how laws work. Laws exist as a common set of beliefs a mass holds. Punishment is there not to punish the criminal per se, but to strengthen the belief of the innocent.

It's fitnah, because it may tell people that many muslims drink, and it may be more ok than he thought. Similar to what I've already told. It's about upholding the values.

Being in there shoe means to have been through it or did it correct?
well if that is a case to say heroin , coke, weed ,alcohol is not horrid until we try?
let me ask another Question why do people do these things?
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every intoxicant is khamr and every intoxicant is haraam.” Narrated by Muslim, 2003.

90. O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al*Ansâb, and Al*Azlâm (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitân's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.

91. Shaitân (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allâh and from As-Salât (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?
quran 5:90-91
So in order to say how horrid it is we must sin? are Allah's words not enough?
 
Hopefully no brother in Islam has been drunk,I however am the same I have not and will not get drunk it is against Islam.
 
cud u get high on red bull...is it classed as intoxicated..?
 
For many years prior to my reverting to Islam, alcohol was a very big part of my life. There was always alcohol at social functions even state functions and office celebrations. Alcohol was a daily occurrence with meals. A few drinks with co-workers and contemporaries was very much a part of life.

I can honestly say i never got drunk deliberately. But, there were more then just a few occasions during which my alcohol tolerance was lower than I expected.

So, my answer to the poll is yes. but, that does not change my opinion about drunk driving. I do classify drunk drivers as murderers and do not excuse it because the person was incapacitated by alcohol.


The simple fact is if a person is going to be in a place they may imbibe alcohol, no matter how little, they have no business having their car keys with them or access to driving.

the best choice is do not drink.

but, if a person is insistent on drinking, no matter how little they plan to drink, it is their responsibility to be certain they will not be able to access a car for the purpose of driving.. If a person does not do so I believe they should be held accountable for every action they do and any negligence should be considered premeditated.

I can also say on the occasions I was drunk, I did not consider myself drunk and thought my driving ability was unaffected. I am extremely grateful I never was in an accident nor injured anyone Mashallaah. But that was only because Allaah(swt) prevented such from happening. Yes, I believe if I had caused a death under such a condition, I should have been prosecuted for premeditated murder or if no life was lost, for attempted murder.

BTW I have not touched alcohol since I reverted.

TRIVIA: Texas has the harshest drinking laws of any State. In every county in Texas it is illegal to be in public if you have been drinking recently or if their is any indication you have been drinking. It is also illegal for anyone serving alcohol to allow a person to drive if they suspect the person may be drunk. Having more then one drink is considered reason to suspect.

I believe alcohol related deaths in Texas are now the lowest in the nation. Also in nearly half of the Texas counties it is illegal to sell alcohol and in the remainder it is very regulated and discourged.

I am not certain what the penalties in Texas are, but assume they are very high.
 
Life can be intoxicating!!! I think this is in a good and acceptible way. I am sure many of you feel that Islam and pray can be intoxicating.?

what does intoxicate mean?
Intoxication is the state of being affected by one or more psychoactive drugs. It can also refer to the effects caused by the ingestion of poison or by the overconsumption of normally harmless substances.
affected by a substance.
So when we Pray it is not an intoxicating but more of tranquility feeling
Hope you see the difference
 
many poets described the divine love as intoxicating, and used wine to describe it.
