THE
PROHIBITION OF DRUGS ABUSE IN THE HOLY QUR'AN
Allah
the Exalted said
يَسْأَلُونَكَ
عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ قُلْ
فِيهِمَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَنَافِعُ
لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ
نَفْعِهِمَا وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا
يُنْفِقُونَ قُلِ
الْعَفْوَ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ
لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ
(219
“They
ask you about liquor and gambling .Say ;In such some benefits for
mankind. Yet their vice is greater than their usefulness”(Q:2;219)
in
another chapter Allah saidيَا
أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا
الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنْصَابُ
وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ
الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ
تُفْلِحُونَ (90)
إِنَّمَا
يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُوقِعَ
بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاءَ
فِي الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ
عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَعَنِ الصَّلَاةِ
فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ (91)
1)“You
who believe ,liquor and gambling ,idols and raffles ,are only the
filthy work of Satan;turn aside from it so that you may prosper.”
Satan
only wants to stir up enmity and jealousy among you by means of
liquor and gambling ,and to hinder you from remembering Allah and
from praying .So will you stop?” (Qur'an 5:90-91)“You who believe
,liquor and gambling ,idols and raffles ,are only the filthy work of
Satan;turn aside from it so that you may prosper.”
From
the above mentioned verses ,Allah(s.w.t) had totally prohibited
taking wine ,and any form of things that can intoxicate a person
because of it effects .Liquor can change a person's
mind,psychologically, spiritually and physically.
THE
PROPHETIC AHADEETHS THAT PROHIBITED TAKING ANY FORM OF INTOXICATNTS.
Following
Ahadeeths are some of the prophetic traditions that warns every
Muslim and believer from taking
any form of things that can change his/her mind from normal sense to
partially or totally intoxicated. However such thing either is sweat
or bitter,smoke or drinks provided that ,it can intoxicate a
person,such types of things are prohibited.
- Narrated by Abi Burda that Abu Musa Al-Ash-ari, said that ,the prophet (saw) had sent him to Yemen and he asked the prophet about certain (Alcoholic) drinks which used to be prefer thirst. The prophet (saw) said “ Al-bit and Al-miztr? He said “ Al-bit and Al-coholic drinks make from honey. And AL-mizr is an alcoholic drink make from barley” The prophet said”Intoxicant are prohibited” [ sheikh AL-Bukhari hadeeth .]
- Narrated by A'isha,when the last verse of surah AL-Baqarah were revealed ,the prophet (saw) went out (of his house to the masjid ) and said “ The trade of Alcohol has become illegal” [sheikh a l-Bukhari.]
- Prayer not accepts ;Narrated by Abdullah bin Umar and Abdullah bin Amr. Allah's messenger said;”If anyone drinks wine Allah will not accept his prayer for four-thy days ,but if he repents Allah will forgive him . But if he again repeats the offense Allah will not accept prayer from him for four-thy days .If he repent again Allah will forgive him if he repents it four-thy times Allah will not accept his prayer for four-thy days .And repents Allah will not forgive him but He will give him to drink of the river of fluid flowing from the inhabitants of Hellfire.” [ sheikh At-tirmidhi hadith ]
- Punishment said by Allah;Narrated by Anas bin Malik .the prophet(saw) “Beat drunk with palm-leaves and shoes .Abubakr give (such sinner)four-thy lashes .[Bukhari]
- Narrated by Utbah Al-kharid the son of Nu'man charge for the Drunkenness ,so that the prophet ordered all the men present in the house to beats him, so all of them beat him, and I was also one of them who beat with shoes. [Sheikh Al-bukhari hadith.]
- 6) Narrated by Abu Salma,Abu Hurayrah said “ A man who drank wine was brought to the prophet .The prophet said” Beat him “ Abu addeen “so some of us beat him with our hands some with their shoes and then when we finished someones said to him “may Allah disgrace you “on so ,for you are helping Satan to over power him.
- Jabir reported that the Holy prophet (saw) said ;”Whosoever drink wine ,wipe him .If he repeats it for the forth time ,kill him .”He(Jabir) says A man was later brought to the prophet who had drank for forth time .He beats him but did not kill him. Tirmidhi andA bu-Dawud.The following hadeeth clearly states that the messenger of Allah prohibited intoxicant.
- Bin Umar reported that the messenger of Allah said ;”Every intoxicants is khamr (wine) and Every intoxicants Haram (unlawful).Whosoever drinks wine in this world and dies whilst consumed in it and does not repent will not drink It in the next wold “ [sheikh Al-Muslim.]
- Jabir Narrated that a Man came from Yemen and asked the prophet (saw) about a wine made from corn called “mizr”which they drank in their land . The prophet asked “Is it intoxicating ? He replied “Yes “ the prophet said ;”Every intoxicants is unlawful. Verily there is covenant upon Allah for one who drinks intoxicating drinks ,from teenful khabul,they asked “O messenger of Allah “what is teenful khabul ?He said “The sweat of inmates of hell of the pus(of impurities )of the inmates of the hell.” [sheikh AL-muslim.]
- Jabir; Narrated that the messenger of Allah said “Whatever intoxicate in a greater quantity is also unlawful in its smaller quantity” [Tirmidhi,Abu-Dawud and bin Majah.]
- Umme salma Narrated that the messenger of Allah prohibited Every intoxicant and muffatar(anything which excites and irritate the mind badly and heart) [sheikh Abu-Dawud .]
- Abdullah bn Amr ;reported from the prophet (saw)who said “One who is disobedient drank and shall not enter paradise” [sheikh Darami hadith]
- Ibn Umar Narrated tat the messenger of Allah said “There are three for whom Allah has forbidden paradise ,a habitual drunkard ,one disobedient to parents ,and careless husband who establish impurity in his family “ [Sheikh Ahmad and Nasa I.hadith]Abu Musa Al-Ash-ari ;Narrated that the messenger of Allah said “There are three who will not enter paradise,habitual drunkard,one who cuts of blood flies and one who believed in sorcery. [ Sheikh Ahmad. hadith.]Ibnu Anas reported that the messenger of Allah said,”If a habitual drunkard dies ,he will meet Allah like one who worship idols.” [Ahmad,bin Majah from Abu hurayrah.]
- Abu Musa reported that he used to say “I do not differentiate whether i drink wine or worship idols beside Allah.” [An-Nasa'i]From the above Ahadeeth,we can clearly see the prophet and the Islamic views regarding intoxicants In another Hadith the prophet has describe intoxicant as;-A) The key to all evilsB) The head of all errors and lapsesC)The most terrible of major sins.D) The mother of all atrocities.E) The mother of all evils.Why are drugs ,intoxicants so abhorrent,awful,and vice in Islam ? Let us look at what the Islamic scholars Said concerning drugs abuse In the next chapter Insha Allah.SAYING OF THE ISLAMIC SCHOLARS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF DRUGS ABUSE FROM A WORLDLY AND RELIGIOUS POINTS.
- Ibn Hajar al-Makki (R.A) Narrated from some scholars that there are 120 worldly and religious determent in consuming hashish(cannabis) not 10,not 20 but 120 harmful things occur by the consumption of drugs in illegal way or without professional doctor's prescriptions,by taking drug without necessary need a person is now involve in drugs abuse or drugs misuse.
- The great physicist Ibn -e-Seena says that “Large amount of it dries up semen (the fluid that carries sperm thus rendering him incapable of passion in sexual intercourse.
- Ibn Battar says ;-”A group of people used it (drugs) and then became mentally deranged (insane s).
- Imam Zarakhshee narrated in his book upon the prohibition of Hashish (cocaine) from Zakariyya Razee , a famous ,desiccant semen,bring about confusion,Neurosis,dries up all body fluids,which would cause sudden death. Also it defeat the mind ,induces helpic fever,tuberculosis and oedema.(drops)
- Ibn Taymiyyah (A renewed scholar)says;-”All the faults,blemishes,bad things in khamr(wine) are present in hashish and more because the majority of fault in khamr effect religion,but hashish effect to a great extent both religion and body.SHEIKH IBN TAYMIYYAH DESCRIPTIONS
From
religious points of view it is as intoxicating as wine ,it destroys
the mind ,causes forgetfulness,causes to reveal secrets,destroys
shame incubates intelligence,prevents Salah and instigates towards
haram,forbidden aspects it.
From
a physical aspects it deteriorates the mind,cuts off the means for
offspring,bring about leprosy,sickness,feverish shivers, bad
breath,loss of eyebrows and teeth warning of blood,tuberculosis,
damage intestine,destroys body organs ,punctures the liver,burns the
stomach and weakness eyesight amongst other things,it is evil is far
greater.
Imam
ibn Taymiyyah states;-”It should be enough haram for a person just
to know that it prevents you from the remembrance of Allah and salah.
In short ,everything ,which obstructs a person from zikrullah and
sallah is haram like wine .
Allah(SWT)
states in he Qur'an;-”And Allah has forbidden
on to you the “khaba'ith'”[ i.e repulsive,nicked and evil things]
.What could be more evil than thing which impairs he faculties of
though and perception in the mind?
DAILAMI
AL-HMAYREE STATES;- I asked the holy prophet “O messenger of
Allah (saw) Verily we are in cold land ,and we have] to work hard
therein,and we prepare wine from this work which give us strength in
our works and in the chill of our cities ;He reply he asked”Does
it intoxicates? “yes”he reply .He said “Give
it up” I said “verily the people cannot give t up;”He
said .”If you do not give I up fight with
them.” [ Abu-Dawuud. ] This Hadith explain,to us the
principles cause of what is haram chiefly,if it intoxicates it is
haram. The very same reason and cause is to be found in drugs.
THE
CONSENSUS OF THE ULAMA' REGARDING DRUGS ABUSE (INTOXICANTS).
Is
Narrated from several scholars in the prohibition of hashish
,scholars includes Qiraafi and Taymiyyah. And that was not enough
,Ibn
Taymiyyah
has further said;-”Whoever regards it lawful has became kafir
“(Irreligious God forbids) The scholars o all four madhahib
unanimously agreed that consuming any things intoxicating is haram
,certain plants have that,the scholars have included intoxicating
pants ,e.t.c {withing the prohibition}.
According
to the three prominent Imam (Imam Shari'a,Imam
Malik,and Imam Ahmad.) consuming anything intoxicating however small the amount will bring the legal punishment of 80 lashes to the person.
Malik,and Imam Ahmad.) consuming anything intoxicating however small the amount will bring the legal punishment of 80 lashes to the person.
However,in
the Hanafi madhab fatawah,AL-KHULASA LIL
HANAFIYYAH. It is stated;-”Any
intoxicating amount has been taking then according to Imam Muhammad
Hadd will be necessary according to Imam Abu-Hanifah and Imam Abu
Yusuf he will be reprimanded severally,but the Hadd will be imposed.
Ta'zir (reprimanded) is such a punishment that holds no specific
amount and it is for the judge to decide.
Bear
in mind that according to to some scholars ,in certain cases Ta'zir
could prove to be more severe than Hadd it self ,e.g. when the person
persistently commit the crime.

- HIV,HEPATITIES AND OTHER INFECTIUOS DISEASES.Many addicts needs to “hit bottom “before they seek help; pedro was always able to fine “a trapdoor” in 1986,however ,at age 29,he was infected with Aids virus.”at the time he was high on heroin, so he don't really get it .When the diagnosis finally sank in,it was shocking wake-up call”Drug abuse not only weakens the immune system but as also linked to risky behaviors like needle sharing and the like hood of acquiring HIV-a Aids,Hepatitis and many other infectious disease. Drugs that can lead to HIV,HEPATITIES and other infectious diseases are ;-1) Heroin 2) Steroids 3) Cocaine 4) Methamphetamine.
- CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS
Researchers
have found that most drugs can have adverse cardiovascular effects,
ranging from abnormal heart rate to heart attack. Injection drug use
can also lead to cardiovascular problems such as collapsed veins and
bacterial infections of the blood vessels and heart valves.

RESPIRATORY EFFECTS
Don't
smoke or drink any kinds of intoxicant it can affects your
health. Health is wealth
Drugs
abuse can be lead to a variety of respiratory problem . smoking
cigarettes,for example has been shown to cause bronchitis,emphysema
and lung cancer. Marijuana smoke may also cause respiratory problems
. The use of some drugs may also cause breathing to slow, block air
from entering the lungs o exacerbate asthma symptom.
Adult
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, (ARDS), acute condition in which
breathing is rapid and labored and oxygen debt is hard to correct.
It occurs as a reaction of the lungs to a range of life-threatening
events, including major injuries, inhalation of smoke or poisonous
gases, fat embolism (blockage in a blood vessel), and septic shock
(common when severe bacterial infection shuts down body systems). It
is treated in an intensive care unit. The death rate from ARDS is
high.

KIDNEY DAMAGE
Kidney
Dialysis, also known as hemo-dialysis, medical treatment used to
remove waste materials from the blood of patients lacking renal
function (Kidney). Blood from an artery is pumped through a dialysis,
or artificial kidney, where it flows past a semipermeable membrane.
Dialysis fluid passing on the other side of the membrane removes
unwanted elements in the blood by diffusion. The blood is then
returned to the body through a vein.
A primary function of
kidneys is the removal of poisonous wastes from the blood. Chief
among these wastes are the nitrogen-containing compounds urea and
uric acid, which result from the breakdown of proteins and nucleic
acids. Life-threatening illnesses occur when too many of these waste
products accumulate in the bloodstream. Fortunately, a healthy kidney
can easily rid the body of these substances
WHAT
DRUGS AFFECT THE KIDNEYS
Many
different drugs, both legal and illegal, affect the kidneys’
ability to operate properly. Among these substances are:
- Heroin.
- Cocaine.
- MDMA(ecstasy)
- Inhalants
- Alcohol
- Tobacco.
- Painkillers
- Heroin
Heroin,
which is an illicit opium that can be injected, snorted, or smoked,
can cause renal damage in a few different ways:
Coma
due to overdose can lead to rhabdomyolysis,a
condition characterized by the breakdown of muscle tissue and
release of proteins into the blood One of these proteins is
myoglobin, which can cause obstruction and kidney damage.
Dehydration, acidosis, low blood pressure, and oxygen deficiency can
exacerbate these effects. This syndrome is sometimes seen in users
who have not overdosed or experienced a coma.
-
Intravenous heroin users are more likely to contract bacterial
and fungal infections,
which can lead to acute kidney inflammation
-
Heroin users who inject under the skin have an increased risk of
secondary amyloidosis,or protein
build-up in organs and tissues arising in association with the
chronic infections and inflammation commonly seen in this
population.
This condition can progress to kidney failure if heroin abuse
continues.
Cocaine
Cocaine,
a powerful stimulant drug that causes euphoria and increased energy,
has been shown to cause kidney complications in acute and chronic
users. Much like heroin, rhabdomyolysis is commonly seen in those who
abuse cocaine, and it can lead to kidney failure.
As many as 33% of patients in the emergency room with cocaine-related
complaints develop acute kidney failure.
Further,
cocaine abuse can lead to renal
infarction,
as well as promote atherosclerosis, or plaque buildup in the renal
arterial walls—conditions that are both characterized by
disruptions in blood flow to the kidney, and resultant tissue damage.
Symptoms of a renal infarction include nausea, vomiting, and severe
abdominal pain
MDMA
Using MDMA, a popular “club drug,” can harm the kidneys in the following ways:
Hypothermia,
or a dangerous rise in body temperature, caused by dehydration,
physical activity, and hot environments can lead to
rhabdomyolysis, the breakdown of muscle tissue
Estimate
annual dialysis lost for just one person who has weaken his own
kidney by shooting heroin(heroin nepropathy) $ 50,000.
Some
rugs may cause kidney damage or failure ,either directly or in
incorrectly from dangerous increases I body temperature and muscle
breakdown.
8)
LIVER DAMAGE
Chronic
use of some drugs ,such as heroin,inhalants and steroids,may lead to
significant damage to the liver.

- Heroin ( 3) Inhalants
- Steroids (4) Alcohol

the decline of organ function, can influence these social and
behavioral effects. For example, the heart becomes less efficient as
a person ages, making exercise more difficult.
