Are drugs such as weed, and pot allowed in Islam?

A more detailed article:

  • The prohibition of alcohol in Islam.
      
  • Does the Quran prohibit alcohol and gambling? Why does it then say they contain benefits?
  •   

      

    Allah Almighty Said in the Holy Quran:

    Allah Almighty said: "O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.  Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?   (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91)"

    Eschew all abominations.  And will you not abstain from all abominations?  The abominations include all intoxicants, gambling and all harmful things.

      

    Well, since Islam doesn't allow drinking alcohol for the sake of protecting the body from harm (Noble Verse 2:219), then it is quite simple and obvious that it would prohibit use of harmful drugs such as weed and pot.

    Just because drugs were not known 1400 years ago to mankind, and were not mentioned in the Noble Quran, it doesn't make it in anyway lawful to use without a doctor's prescription such as in the case of marawana.

    Anything that causes intoxication is prohibited in Islam according to our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him:

    Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: "The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If a large amount of anything causes intoxication, a small amount of it is prohibited.  (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Drinks (Kitab Al-Ashribah), Book 26, Number 3673)"

    Illegal drugs such as weed and pot do cause intoxication.  Therefore, a large or small amount of it is clearly prohibited in Islam.

     

    The following entries are from Quran Moral Code (100s of them):

    50 See also entry #258 below about Allah Almighty's prohibition of evil addictions, such as video games, porn, gambling, alcohol, etc...

    All intoxicants including alcohol and drugs, and Gambling, divination, and sorcery, and all abominations are evil.  The same Noble Word for avoiding them was also used for idols false talk or speech, lying and false testimony (فاجتنبوا الرجس من الاوثان واجتنبوا قول الزور).

    Allah Almighty said: "O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.  Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain? انما يريد الشيطان ان يوقع بينكم العداوة والبغضاء في الخمر والميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة فهل انتم منتهون   (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91)"

    Eschew all abominations.  And will you not abstain from all abominations?  The abominations include all intoxicants, gambling and all harmful things.

    Also, Gambling and alcohol are some of satan's tools to create enmity, hatred and disunity among the Believers, and to stop the Believers from remembering Allah Almighty and from Praying.  "Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?" (5:91) انما يريد الشيطان ان يوقع بينكم العداوة والبغضاء في الخمر والميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة فهل انتم منتهون

    Allah Almighty calls unto all Muslims TO STOP all gambling and all intoxicants consumption: "eschew such (abomination)" and "will ye not then abstain?" فهل انتم منتهون.
     

    2:219, 5:90-91, 22:30

      

    258 Addictions:

    Anything and everything which you do that becomes compulsive to you, dominates you, and becomes addictive to a point where you become glued to it and can't get yourself out of it is considered an addiction.  Allah Almighty defines it beautifully in the Glorious Quran as things satan uses to ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة  "hinder you يصدكم from the remembrance of God, and from prayer" (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91).

    So if you are unable to maintain remembrance of Allah Almighty and you are unable to perform your daily prayers due to evil compulsive and excessive things that you may have subjected and surrendered yourself to such as video games, porn, gambling, alcohol, etc..., then you suffer addiction.

      

    To be addicted to anything evil or negative is forbidden in the Glorious Quran, and one must fight it off with all of his will, passion and power.  You must have a strong will:

    You must "muster the means" (4:98) to fight your weaknesses.

    "eschew such (abomination)" (5:90) and "will ye not then abstain?" (5:91) فهل انتم منتهون.

    [004:097] The angels, when they took the souls of those who had been unjust to their own weal, demanded, "What hath been your state?" They said, "We were the weak ones of the earth." They replied, "Was not God's earth broad enough for you to flee away in?" These! their home shall be Hell, and evil the passage to it -

    [003:139] Do not weaken and do not grieve. You will come up on top, if you are the believers (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).

    [004:075] What is wrong with you? Why would you not fight for the sake of Allah on behalf of the weak and oppressed men, women and children? Those who pray (to Allah), "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town; its residents are cruel. Raise, by Your grace, an ally for us. Grant us by Your will a helper!"

    You must not succumb, retire or surrender yourself to any evil.  Also, always fight the good fight; fight for the oppressed and fight injustice so no more tumult remains.  Yes, you can't always be victorious, but you must not ever given in or give up to evil, and you must always keep the good fight for Allah Almighty's sake in you at all time, and always put your trust and faith in Allah Almighty.  This is what Islam calls doing Jihad against yourself, which includes defeating and overcoming your weaknesses and temptations.  Do not allow yourself to ever become and addict.  The following is from Entry #50 above:

    All intoxicants including alcohol and drugs, and Gambling, divination, and sorcery, and all abominations are evil.  The same Noble Word for avoiding them was also used for idols false talk or speech, lying and false testimony (فاجتنبوا الرجس من الاوثان واجتنبوا قول الزور).

    Allah Almighty said: "O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.  Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain? انما يريد الشيطان ان يوقع بينكم العداوة والبغضاء في الخمر والميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة فهل انتم منتهون   (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91)"

    Eschew all abominations.  And will you not abstain from all abominations?  The abominations include all intoxicants, gambling and all harmful things.

    Also, Gambling and alcohol are some of satan's tools to create enmity, hatred and disunity among the Believers, and to stop the Believers from remembering Allah Almighty and from Praying.  "Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?" (5:91) انما يريد الشيطان ان يوقع بينكم العداوة والبغضاء في الخمر والميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة فهل انتم منتهون

    Allah Almighty calls unto all Muslims TO STOP all gambling and all intoxicants consumption: "eschew such (abomination)" and "will ye not then abstain?" فهل انتم منتهون.

      

    Allah Almighty's Forgiveness and Mercy are always there for the weak.  But you must be genuine and not false:

    [004:098] Except for the men, women and children who are weak and oppressed! They are unable to muster the means (to migrate), and (therefore) find no way out.

    [004:099] Perhaps, Allah will grant forgiveness to those (weak) ones. Allah is oft-Pardoning, and the most Forgiving!

    You must "muster the means" (4:98) to fight your weaknesses.  Do not be false and easy target and prey for satan.  You can also fight addiction with fasting and praying to Allah Almighty, because they both strengthen your self-restraint:

    [002:183] O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint,-

    [029:045] Recite what has been revealed to thee of the Book; and be steadfast in prayer; verily, prayer forbids sin and wrong; and surely the mention of God is greater; for God knows what ye do.

    Always stay away from temptations that lead to evil and addiction رجس من عمل الشيطان فاجتنبوه:

    [005:090] O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination)  رجس من عمل الشيطان فاجتنبوه, that ye may prosper.
     

    4:97, 3:139, 4:75, 4:98-99, 2:183, 29:45, 2:219, 5:90-91, 22:30, 2:139, 2:160, 9:102, 4:17-18, 4:148, 5:39, 33:24, 18:103, 25:23, 2:167, 2:217, 3:22, 5:53, 7:147, 8:48, 9:17, 9:69, 14:18, 47:8, 14:021, 34:31-33, 40:47, 4:97-99, 31:18, 4:96-100, 14:20-23, 33:66-68, 34:31-33, 40:45-52, 2:193, 8:25, 8:39, 8:73

      

     

    A continuation to my answer from Vipor Poison; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:

    "I just read the new articles you posted and thought that i should say this.   In your article about Drugs https://www.answering-christianity.com/drugs.htm   the Quran does not say "Alcohol" it usues the word "Khamar" which means "Intoxicant". And a drug such as weed or pot and others comes in this category.

    The quran says in Noble Verse 2:219: "They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: In both of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men, and THEIR SIN IS GREATER THAN THEIR PROFIT. And they ask you as to what they should spend.  Say: What you can spare. Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications, that you may ponder."

    The quran says that since the bad effects are greater than the good effects in them therefore they are not allowed. It does not say that just because there is harm in them. I mean in case of a patient in need of Marawana or some other intoxicating drug, the drug for that patient will have MORE GOOD THAN BAD. And so will be legal for him/her. this is the criterion set by the Quran.

    By the way, will you be surprised to know that this is the same criterion that the FDA usues to pass drugs today."

     

    My response to Vipor Poison:

    Allah Almighty and His Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him ordered us to stay away from alcohol.

    Again, Allah Almighty said: "O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.  Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?   (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91)"

    Alcohol in any quantity is not allowed in Islam.  "Anas reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) used to strike forty times with shoes and palm branches (in case of drinking of) wine. The rest of the hadith is the same and there is no mention of pastures and towns.  (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book Pertaining to Punishments Prescribed by Islam (Kitab Al-Hudud), Book 017, Number 4230)"

    As for the "profits" of alcohol in Noble Verse 2:219 above, alcohol like drugs and like snake and other animals' poisons have cure in it for Mankind.  Pretty much in everything that Allah Almighty created, there is good in it.  This doesn't make everything lawful for us.  In the case of alcohol and drugs today, yes it should not be allowed for anyone to use them without any doctor's prescription under the Islamic Law.

     

    Anything that causes intoxication is prohibited in Islam according to our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him:

    Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: "The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If a large amount of anything causes intoxication, a small amount of it is prohibited.  (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Drinks (Kitab Al-Ashribah), Book 26, Number 3673)"

    Alcohol does cause intoxication.  Therefore, a large or small amount of it is clearly prohibited in Islam.

      

      

      

      

    Does the Quran prohibit alcohol and gambling? Why does it then say they contain benefits?

    The prohibition of alcohol in Islam.

    Back to ask me any question.

    Is gambling allowed in Islam?

    Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1]
     

    Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind.  For example:
      

    1-  The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran.  Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran.  See detailed listing here.


    Coincidence?
      See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).

    Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

    Stunning Prophecies [2] [3]

     

    2-  Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years.  Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters.  You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.

    3-  Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
      

           -  Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
           -  Is rotating around itself.
           -  Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
           -  Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
      

    "When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
      
    As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day.  NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its
    trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode).  It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

     

    Coincidence?  See 1,000s of examples [1].Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

      
    Islam also thoroughly rejects as man-made lies the Trinity and Crucifixion [2].  Jesus was also thoroughly called
    slave of GOD [1] in both the OT and NT.


    Quran:  All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1] قول   (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed).  See also the 39+ members of trinity.  Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.

      

    John 5:30  "I cannot do anything on my own."  (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!).  I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!!  I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!
      

    John 5:31  "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!" 

    GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses.  GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient!  Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims  (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more";    ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40)  Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
