Why don't Muslims drink alcohol?
Why don't Muslims drink alcohol?
Alcohol is forbidden for Muslims to consume in all forms whether as a drink or in food, as it is an intoxicant and has the capability, if taken in more than small quantities, to cloud the mind. Alcohol could affect a Muslim's relationship with God as well as possibly causing health and social problems if taken excessively, therefore it is prohibited altogether.
'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.' (Qur'an 2:219)
