THEY ASK YOU ABOUT WINE AND GAMBLING. SAY, "IN BOTH THERE IS GREAT SIN, AND SOME BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE. AND THEIR SIN IS GREATER THAN THEIR BENEFIT." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 219)
THE PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL - PART 2
There were also a number of blessed Companions (Sahaba) who never touched alcohol even when it was a common practice to do so. After reaching Madinah these Sahaba became even more acutely aware of the harms caused by alcohol and gambling. Therefore, Hazrat Farooq -e-Azam RAA, Hazrat Ma'az Ibn Jabal RAA, and a few other Sahaba presented themselves before Rasool Allah ﷺ and said that alcohol and gambling not only harm a person's mental capacities but also cause financial loss, and sought Rasool Allah's guidance about it. This verse was revealed to answer that question. It is the first verse in which the first step towards prohibition of alcohol and gambling was taken.
