of the
Authorized
English translation of the Quran by
Dr.
Rashad Khalifa
Drugs &
Alcohol
There is no compromise whatsoever regarding
illicit drugs and alcoholic beverages; they are called : abominations and the work of
Satan
(5:90).
In
2:219 and
5:90, we see
that "intoxicants, gambling, the idols' altars, and games of chance" are
strictly prohibited. The word used for
intoxicants is "Khamr" from the root word "Khamara"
which means "to cover." Thus, anything that
covers or hinders the mind is
prohibited. This includes anything
that alters the mind, such as marijuana,
heroin, cocaine, alcohol, hashish, and anything else that
affects the mind.
