Drink with moderation!

Drink with moderation! This can apply to drinking water, milk or fruit juice. But if you invite people to drink alcohol and thereafter, you tell them to drink with moderation, then you are joking.

When a person has already lost his senses and he has already lost control, then now, how will he know what does moderation means when he did not understand it before consuming it?

Drinking alcohol is something very tempting. One never feels satisfied. Its small quantity leads one to a lot. That is why, Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) prohibited a drop of it also. According to a Hadith of Tirmizi, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

"Anything that causes intoxication in large quantities, its small quantity also is Haraam."

The aim of it itself is to make people lose their sense, make them crawl and do all types of nonsense and commit unhealthy and indecent things in front of their daughters, mother-in-laws and even their mothers.

What benefit is there in drinking something so impure and so bad that it makes people descend to the level of animals? It causes one to lose one’s own self, one’s wife, one’s child and one’s family. Why should one drink it even if it is a little, when we know that it is filthy and impure like urine? Is it an honour to drink urine, even if it is just a drop?

The question of drinking alcohol in moderation does not even arise. We must not be deceived by this. Don't fall in the trap of selfish people who want to earn money through you by rendering your own self, your family and humanity at large miserable. They are the ones who rejoice on the misfortune of people.
