Right, because the Koran says so, it must be true. That novel is rotting your brain.
I say this because the atheists, with their insisting, try to claim God is cruel and merciless; glory be to God Most Gracious and Most Kind.
The Quran is light of guidance and insight
The Quran does not destroy the brain; on the contrary, the Quran is a light of guidance and insight and wisdom.
Standard disclaimer and limited warranty isn't it? If I haven't kept up my insurance payments I can hardly expect a positive settlement can I? I'm infrequently bothered by the conventional meanings of the term believer because my special relationship with god has afforded me great latitude in the material I am permitted to entertain. It is impossible not to believe while you live and if you think you don't believe, you are dead already. A natural unconscious believer is rarely troubled by doubts traded in the mundane god markets of the world. The natural believer in god enjoys an immunity to all doubts without any of the usual refined definitions of the undefinable omnipotent power of the one offered by scoundrels and charlatans.
Any good man is by definition a believer and naturally follows the laws, this is exactly what determines righteousness in gods eyes and he has caused that to be written many times. But we take the book and the scratched runes as holy instead of the direct knowledge. We will never gain admission unless we do the good works, memorization of the tracts and toting the tome under ones arm won't fool god, she's quicker than that I bet.
That's me plain and simple. God is by definition everything, he/she/it the one the way the infinite the all. Your insistence on a male god is irrational and unreasonable and unholy. Let me demonstrate, god is a sparrow a worm a rock and cancer, omnipotent and omniscient. What possible interest or need could god have in trousers? God inhabits all forms equally.By the word "believer" I mean: the one believing in God alone without associate; and that God is the Creator: One without son or parents or wife or equal,
I agree, Koran doesn't destroy brain cells, it only corrupts them, enabling some Muslims to become terrorists. Incidentally, so also do things like ganja, hashish and several other drugs which are consumed in Islamic countries, even though alcohol is officially forbidden.
God gave us alcohol and many animals and insects also imbibe, all within reason and in season, of course. Beer is actually the preferred beverage of the gods. I intend to start a batch as soon as my feet touch my allotted acreage in the celestial brewery, completely comfortable in the sure knowledge of the brew masters approval. Only Muslims are are forbidden to partake because as everyone knows they simply cannot handle liquor.
.Even the best Man To walk after Adam in gods favor "Noah".Got drunk on wine how so is it a sin.?Of course God created the alcohol; it has some advantages to man like in medicine to sterilize wounds and in laboratory to fix the tissue cells ..etc; but the harm of alcohol abounds more than its advantage; therefore it is forbidden in the religion of God and in all His books and by all His apostles. so can it be a sin to drink.?
Nah. Gods are indifferent.God is Most Gracious and Most Merciful
YouTube - This Should Keep Us All Thinking
Err when it comes to things about God Man will never understand ,When it comes to things about man God Knows All
Of course God created the alcohol; it has some advantages to man like in medicine to sterilize wounds and in laboratory to fix the tissue cells ..etc; but the harm of alcohol abounds more than its advantage; therefore it is forbidden in the religion of God and in all His books and by all His apostles.
This is in the Quran 2: 219
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ قُلْ فِيهِمَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَآ أَكْبَرُ مِن نَّفْعِهِمَا
The explanation:
(They ask you [Mohammed] about wine and gambling. Say: "In both of them is great sin and [some] benefits to people, but the sin of the two is greater than the benefit.")
God is Most Gracious and Most Merciful
How can any intelligent man think God is not Merciful; don't he see that God's mercy and kindness includes His enemy even (temporarily in this Worldly life).
God's mercy and grace in this World includes both the believer and the disbelieve; but in the afterlife it will be exclusive for believers only.
In this World, both the believer and the disbeliever have health, children, houses, cars and happiness: this is generally speaking.
Doesn't the disbeliever (the atheist and the idolater) see that he has eyes, ears and perception of happiness and pleasure; but in fact the disbeliever is ungrateful and denies the bounties bestowed on him by his Lord Who created him and provided him with his daily provision and a large number uncountable bounties and blessings.
(In the name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful)
This, between brackets, is the explanation of the first aya of every soora (or chapter) of the 114 sooras of the Quran excepting the soora no. 9
بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Its interpretation: I start the recitation in the name of God Who is Most Gracious so that He bestows His mercy to both the believer and the disbeliever in this World, and Who is Most Merciful exclusively to believers in the next afterlife.
In other words: His mercy and grace involves both believers and disbelievers in this World, but it does not involve disbelievers in the next afterlife, and will be confined only to believers in the next afterlife.
Certainly there are many ways to destroy brain cells and body tissues from the pourable to the ponderable. The dangers of booze to life is just one destructive pitfall . I think gods recommendations of moderation in all things except love covers booze as well. A planet without beer might as well be without life. It is a gift that allows transdimensional awareness absolutely necessary in the study of alternative constructions. No one can estimate the scientific breakthroughs nor the art masterpieces directly emanated from the beer pot. It is well that we have had not less than historically high and enthusiastic experimentors and visionaries wholely dedicated to the betterment of mankind through the enlightened investigations of beer. We have no less than a devinely sanctioned symbiotic relationship with the substance. The sin, in my estimation, is the devilish rejection of gods gift of beer. The theocrats do not want us to be happy, if we are happy, we get along, if we get along, they are out of work.
If God said the beer is allowed in moderate quantity, who would guaranty people will be moderate? And what is this moderation limits?
Moreover, even the little amount of alcohol will have its influence and effect on the body tissues including the liver and the brain cells.
In addition, the danger of the alcohol is evident to any just man: most of the crimes and quarrels issue from the drunkenness; because the drunken will lose at least some of his sound judgment and mind and conciousness, and his behavior will not be like the conscious man, and when the effect of the drunkenness disappear, he will mostly regret and feel sorry.
Therefore, it can't be that any prophet or apostle came and made the alcohol drinks lawful. Even just people who are not prophets and some of them are not religious and they stood firm against the alcohol.
Evidently, it is a big problem and its serious consequences are so obvious.
It’s a big problem in your beloved Islamic countries, eanassir. We know a doctor from India. He worked in Saudi Arabia for a few years before coming to Canada. He was telling me that in many Saudi hospitals there are wards to treat alcoholics. If Islam forbids alcohol, where do the alcoholics come from?
Why, they come from abstaining from alcohol. If you are a lifelong abstainer and then decide to drink because it is forbidden (the forbidden fruit is always sweeter, ask Adam and Eve), they don’t know when to quit. Also, they don’t have any tolerance for alcohol and easily get hooked on alcohol, become alcoholics.
Banning alcohol is like (and about as effective as) banning prostitution or banning homosexuality. Any ban will work on surface only. Alcoholism is rampant in many Islamic countries, if my doctor friend is to be believed. So of course, is prostitution and homosexuality.
