Drinking wine and its consequences

Wine is the mother of evils.  Each and every evil germinates from it.  The Holy Quran has declared drinking wine as a satanic act and filthy.  Regardless of whether wine is in a huge quantity or small quantity, regardless of whether it induces intoxication or not, it is still forbidden.  Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran:

 

O believers! Wine and gambling and idols mounted (for worship) and divining arrows (for seeking luck—all) are filthy works of Satan. So turn away from them (completely) so that you may prosper.  Satan seeks only to breed enmity and spite amongst you by means of wine and gambling, and hinder you from remembering Allah and observing Prayer. Will you abstain (from these evil-generating temptations).  Surah Maida (5:90, 91)

 

Those who drink wine in this world will not receive the heavenly wine “Tahoor” in the hereafter.  In paradise, people will be given a pure wine which will not intoxicate into heedlessness but will create an ecstasy of divine love, as mentioned in the Hadith:

 

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr (May Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:  The one who drinks wine in this world and doesn’t repent will be deprived of “Tahoor” in the hereafter.

 

Those who drink wine will be made to drink the pus of hell

 

Some people drink wine, repent and then again fall back into this habit.  About them, it has been related that Almighty Allah doesn’t accept their Salaat for 40 days and they will be made to drink the boiling pus of the dwellers of hell:

 

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr (May Allah be well pleased with them) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:  The person who drinks wine and becomes intoxicated, his (or her) Salaat will not be accepted for 40 days.  Then again if that person drinks so much of wine that he becomes intoxicated, that person’s Salaat will not be accepted for 40 days.  Then again if that person drinks so much of wine that he becomes intoxicated, that person’s Salaat will not be accepted for 40 days.  Then again if that person drinks wine for the 4^th time and becomes intoxicated, then Almighty Allah decrees about that person that he (or she) will be made to drink from the stream of “Khabaal.”  The Companions asked: What is “Khabaal?”  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:  Pus of the dwellers of hell.
