Chapter 4
MIRACULOUS
BOOK OF TELEGRAMS
The Holy Qur'an can be appropriately described as 'A Book of Telegrams.' For this is how the Book was revealed in the form of telegraphically
addressed Messages in answer to the questions on:
1. ALCOHOL AND GAMES OF CHANCE
They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth Allah Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider- [2:219]
QUR'AN AND HADITH
The above is just one example of how God speaks! Other examples are to follow. Can any sincere seeker of truth be convinced in any easier way? The answer is 'No!' Yet He (God) Reasons with the recalcitrant in the following words:-
Say: "Are the blind equal With those who see?"
(HOLY QUR'AN 13:16)
Of course not!
Now compare the above Words of God Almighty on the subject of 'WINE' (intoxicants) with the words of His Chosen Messenger Muhummed
Mustafa (pbuh), NOT FORGETTING that the above verse 2:219 and what follows from the Hadith below were heard from the lips of the Prophet (pubh) and recorded by his Companions:
Ibn Anas (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah cursed every one who was associated in any way with the production and consumption of any kind of intoxicating beverages. He said:
1. Cursed is he who grows grapes for brewing.
2. Cursed is he who sells it.
3. Cursed is he who crushes it.
4. Cursed is he who bottles it, and
5. Cursed is he who drinks it, or words to this effect.
