The Reason Why Islam Has Declared Alcohol Haram And How Science Backs Islam's Claim

Islam is considered to be the most perfect religion of the World, puts certain restrictions on its followers and believers. In Islam the use of alcohol has been dubbed Haram and totally against the Islmic believe. However, for many, when some religion restrains the use of something they do not believe it, but when its science suggesting them to stop they suddenly becomes believers.

Alcohol is an English name derived from an Arabic word Al-Kohl. Al-Kohl means a drink made of fermented grains, fruits and some other ingredients. This highly in-toxic beverage, in the Holy Quran has been named as "Khumar", which means intoxication.

Islam Prohibits Alcohol For A Number Of Reasons Other Than Science

A famous incident narrated by the companion, Jaabir and is recorded in the collections of Tirmizi, Abu Dawud and Ibn-e-Majah:

"One day, as He came out of the mosque, The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) noticed his cousin and son in law, Ali b Abi Talib visibly upset. When the concerned Prophet asked Ali what was troubling him, Ali simply pointed to the bloody carcass of his dearly cherished camel - no ordinary camel, but the war-weathered camel that Ali would mount in his valiant defense of the Prophet and Islam on the battlefield. Ali told that one of his uncle was responsible for the unsanctioned slaughter of his animal and so the Prophet went to ascertain his ( the uncle's) side of the story. Entering in the presence of his uncle, the Prophet found him drunk with alcohol. Upon seeing the displeasure in his nephew's face. The uncle knew at once, despite his intoxication, that the Prophet had come to question him about Ali's beast of war. With nothing good to saying his defense, the guilt-ridden, drunken uncle blurted out to his nephew: " You and your father are my slaves!" The Prophet inly response to this was " Truly, alcohol is the mother of every evil ".

The first revelation on the prohibition of alcohol was revealed in Makkah, before the hijrat and rest later.

"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."

It can be easily seen that Islam prohibited alcohol and other in-toxic beverages eras ago. But science has now proved alcohol as in-toxic.
