[s] Rilwayne, are you a Muslim? If yes, then reaise tht in Islam, we are forbidden to speak of this religion without knowledge.
Alcohol is completely forbiden in Islam, by the Qur'aan, the Sunnah, the consensus of the scholars and by Qiyaas. it is one of the INCONTROVERTIBLE ISSUES or Islam, disputing of which is essentially apostasy from the faith.
This nonsensical claim is not made by any that has an inkling of knowledge of this religion. It is not a matter that is even up for discussion among Muslims on the faith. It is not even something to argue about.
PLEASE DO NOT ENDANGER YOUR FAITH BY JUST THROWING UP ANY CLAIM WHENEVER YOU WANT; THAT IS WHAT RUIneD COMPLETELY OTHER RELIGIONS.
yOUR STATEMENT, "I believe in d quran..i dNnt rely much on the hadith" SHOWS HOW IGNORANT OF THIS RELIGION YOU DEFINITELY ARE. In Islam, we follow, and we do not make our own rules. That's what Submission is about. Repent, and realise that Alllah determines His religion, not you with your little knowledge. You either decide to follow the religion, or else you are free to leave it please.
Thanks. [/s]

AlBaqir:


ANYTHING that affects human sensibility is classified "Intoxicant" and Islam forbids it. There are lots of philosophical reasons for that.

If you find it difficult to sleep and you've exhausted all intrinsic options, and if at all you must take drug, I will advice to consult physician.

# Codeine, Morphine, Diamorphine etc are classified under Opioid Analgesics or Narcotic analgesics. They are usually used for the relief of moderate to severe pain. However the opioid have been found to interact with several closely related receptors.

# Cocaine and all its derivatives, Procaine, Proxymetacaine etc are classified as Local Anaesthetic. These are compound which produce reversible loss of sensation by preventing or diminishing the conduction of sensory nerve impulses. Although some of these local anaesthetic could also be used to produce loss of pain without loss of nervous control.

In one word, all these things are dangerous. Islam only allow their use in severe cases. Its very unfortunate that drug abuse [without medical prescriptions] is rampant in Nigeria.

I am a chemist with years of pharmaceutical experience and pharm-related field so I know how it goes in this field [good, bad and conspiracy].

Rilwayne001:
Background: Some think that in Islam and The Quran
the substance alcohol is forbidden completely in all
forms, no matter the application or form.


Intoxicants are to be avoided according to The Quran:
O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and
sacraments, and games of chance are foul tools used by
the devil. You shall avoid him so that you may be
successful. [5:90]

For example, the substance alcohol does have useful
properties (e.g. it is used in medicine, food production)
and can be used for these purposes:
They ask you about intoxicants and gambling. Say: In
both of them there is a great harm and some profit/
benefits for men, but their harm is greater than their
profit/benefits... [2:219]

From the fruits of the palm trees and the grapes you
make wine as well as a good provision. In that is a sign
for a people who reason. [16:67]

Thus, the substance alcohol is not banned, but it is
intoxication that is to be avoided. Interestingly, the
above verse provides a powerful message to reflect on,
i.e. we can use something in a positive way or in a
negative way, which one will we choose?

ademoladeji:
Is summary, what is bad is BAD...

Though, I do take alcohol buh it's clearly forbidden and I pray Allah make it easy for me to stop completely.

Rilwayne001:
I believe in d quran..i dnt rely much on the hadith

lexiconkabir:
Mohammed ali once said "i do walk with lighter all the time, not that i smoke but whenever i am trying to do something forbidden by God Almighty(like your case is alcohol intake) i will light up the lighter then use it to burn my palm for like 10secs, then i will say to myself that, Ali since you cant bear this pain for 10secs, how can you bear eternity in hell? after saying this, i will quickly leave the prohibitted thing i was about to do" so sir do the needful, go get your own lighter .

zingywingy:
Sallam Aleikun. Am a Muslim too but i felt more with Quran.. Holy undiluted book than human reported Hadith. Quran is from Allah to Holy Prophet SAW. But hadith is from Holy Prophet SAW to someone that told someone that heard from someone.. Hmmm... Human beings and exaggeration can't be seperated.

LagosShia:


alcohol consumption is prohibited in Islam.not even one drop is allowed to be tasted.medical use is permitted where needed.

verse 16:67 explains that from grape vine and palm trees one can derive both a good drink and also an intoxicating drink.it is therefore a sign from Allah (swt) for reasonable people to ponder upon.it is by no means saying that people should see both products as something good.it is just like saying "in the knife you derive both benefit (of using it in the kitchen) and also murder.this is a sign for a people who reason".does that saying permit murder?

babylolaroy:

Even today, shias still believe that the quran is not complete. thats speaking of wen yu said quran is the only undiluted book. true. Buh when we talk abt ahaadith, you av several ways of verifying. there are sahihain. read vastly. ask. check to see if a narrator is a trusted one...if an hadith goes against the whole spirit of shariah, drop it...buh totally diabelieving in hadith is an evil we must not accept from anybody. the sohabas who died protecting this deen would do anything to av ahaadith with dem.....
