Punishment of some major sins

It is mentioned in the Hadith that the person who sleeps in an intoxicated state, that person remains in the marriage of Satan for the whole night.  When morning comes, a bath (Ghusl) is Compulsory on that person.  That person should perform a full ritual bath (Ghusl-e-Janaabat).  If he doesn’t then no Salaat, obligatory, Sunnah or supererogatory will be accepted.

 

It is also mentioned that the person who drinks wine in this world will be deprived of the wine of the hereafter.  The person who drinks wine at night will get up as a polytheist in the morning and the person who drinks wine in the day will remain a polytheist until dusk.

 

It is also mentioned that wine is the mother of all evils and a compendium of all evils and with Allah, a drunkard is like an idol-worshipper and accursed.  A wine-drinker is a denier of all divine books and epistles.  Wine and faith can’t be at one place together.  Thus, all forms of wine and all drugs are forbidden.

 

Imam Masruq (May Allah shower His mercy on him) says:  When thieves, wine-drinkers and adulterers die without repentance, Almighty Allah impose 2 poisonous snakes on them and they will keep biting them until the Day of Judgment.

 

Three kinds of persons will never enter paradise:  A wine-drinker, the one who hurts parents, the one without any sense of honor and fervor.

 

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has cursed that person who drinks wine or sells it or accepts payment for it. 

 

Feeling constrained on the coming of a guest, bawling in sorrow, beating one’s chest, tearing clothes and the like, backbiting and jealousy are all sins.

 

Adultery is also one of the worst sins among evil deeds.  Allah Most High and His Beloved Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) are strictly displeased with it.  All the 8 doors of hell are opened in the grave of the adulterers.  Snakes and scorpions will keep biting them until the Day of Judgment.

 

The curse of Almighty Allah is on those who use intoxicants.  Snakes and scorpions will be on them in their graves and they will be made to wear shoes of fire which will boil their brain.

 

Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud (May Allah be well pleased with him) says:  The face of the wine-drinker will turn away from the Qibla in the grave.
