WHAT DOES ISLAM SAY?

The young Muslims of today are face an ever-increasing number of dilemmas. One of these is drugs.
What does Islam have to say about it? How should Muslims regard drugs?
To understand this we have to see what the Quran and Hadiths say regarding intoxications.
Allah Akbar states in the Holy Quran:-

Allah Akbar has described intoxicants amongst other things as being appalling, despicable and hateful acts of Satan and he has commanded us to abstain from them, Allah thereafter sttes in the next verse:-

This verse tells us hot it is a detestable act of Satan, because intoxicants apart from sowing the seeds of enmity also stop you from the sole purpose of having been sent to the world, namely the remembrance of Allah. Bear in mind that wne the term intoxicant is used it also encompasses narcotics, because they too among other things result in the loss of seld-control.
There are also many Hadiths stated by the Holy Propher (S.A.S.) in regards to intoxicants.

1) Jabir  reported that the Holy Prophet  said, "Whosoever drinks wine, whip him. If he repeats it for the fourth time, kill him." He (Jabir) says, A man was later brought to the Prophet  who had drunk wine for the fourth time. He beat him, but did not kill him. (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood)

The following Hadith clearly states that the Holy Prophet  prohibited intoxicants.

2) Ibn Umar  reported that the Messenger of Allah  said, "Every intoxicant is khamr (wine) and every intoxicant is haraam (unlawful). Whosoever drinks wine in this world and dies whilst consumed in it and does not repent will not drink it in the next world. (Muslim)

3) Jabir  narrates that a man came from Yemen and asked the Prophet  about a wine made from corn called �Mizr�, which they drank, in their land. The Prophet  asked, "Is it intoxicating?" He replied, "Yes" The Prophet  said, "Every intoxicant is unlawful. Verily there is covenant upon Allah for one who drinks intoxicating drinks, that he will make him drink from �Teenatul Khabal,� they asked, "O messenger of Allah, what is Teenatul Khabal?" He said, "The sweat of the inmates of hell or the pus (of impurities) of the inmates of hell." (Muslim)

4) Abdullah ibn Umar  reports that the Prophet  said, "Whosoever drinks wine, Allah will not accept his prayer for 40 days. If he seeks repentance Allah will forgive him. And if he repeats it Allah will not accept his prayer for 40 days. If he seeks repentance Allah will forgive him. And if he repeats it again Allah will not accept his prayer for 40 days. If he seeks repentance Allah will forgive him. If he repeats it for the fourth time Allah will not accept his prayer for 40 days. If he seeks repentance Allah will not accept it and he will be made to drink from the river of impurities (of the inmates of hell).

(Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah and Daarami from Ibn Amr)
5) Jabir  narrated that the Messenger of Allah  said; "Whatever intoxicates in a greater quantity is also unlawful in its smaller quantity." (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood and Ibn Majah)  
  
6) Umme Salmah  narrates that the Messenger of Allah  prohibited every intoxicant and Mufattir (anything which excites and irritates the mind, body and heart). (Abu Dawood)

7) Abdullah Ibn Amr t reports from the Prophet, who said, "One who is disobedient to parents, gambles, harsh after charity and a is a habitual drunkard shall not enter paradise." (Daarami)

8) Abu Umaamah  reported that the Messenger of Allah  said, "Verily Almighty Allah sent me as a mercy for all the worlds; and my Almighty and Glorious Lord ordered me to abolish drums, musical instruments, idols, the cross and the affairs of the days of Ignorance. My Almighty and Glorious Lord has sworn, "By my honour, no servant among my servants shall drink a mouthful of wine but I will make him drink like it from the scorching water (of hell); and none abstains from it out of fear of me but I will give him drink from the Holy fountain." (Ahmad)

9) Ibn Umar  narrates that the Messenger of Allah  said, "There are three for whom Allah has forbidden paradise, a habitual drunkard, one disobedient to parents, and a careless husband who establishes impurity in his family." (Ahmad and Nasai)

10) Abu Musa Al-Asharee  narrates that the Messenger of Allah  said, "There are three who will not enter paradise, a habitual drunkard, one who cuts of blood ties and one who believes in sorcery. (Ahmad)

11) Ibn Abbas  reported that the Messenger of Allah  said� "If a habitual drunkard dies, he will meet Allah like the one who worships idols." (Ahmad, Ibn majah from Abu Hurrairah)

12) Abu Musa  reported that he used to say, "I do not differentiate whether I drink wine or worship these idols besides Allah.    (Nasai )

From the above Hadiths, we can clearly see the Prophet (S.A.S.) and the Islamic view regarding intoxicants. In another Hadith the Prophet (S.A.S.) has described intoxicants as:-

1- The key of all evils
2- The head of all errors and lapses
3- The most terrible of major sins
4- The mother of all atrocities
5- The mother of all evils
