No religion forbids gambling as explicitly as Islam.
Isleam forbids gambling but approved child mairriage and mairrying family members!

Which is worse between gambling and incest?! grin

Isleam is a joke of a re1ligion!

The biblical Jesus didn't have b@dluck but see how he ended? How do you define b@dluck?

Hin papa send am to kpai! B@dluck!
Jesus ended up by resurrecting from the dead and ascending into Heaven.

That's good luck.

Minamed ended up by kpaing from food pois0ning.

All his children, except Fatima, kpaied in his life time!

His last surviving daughter, Fatima, was m0rdared in c0ld bl00d by her fellow Meuslims.

So, minamed left no single child to bear his name.

That's the definition of bad luck

Minamed is the ep1tome of bad luck.

So whether gambling, fortune telling or casting lots, the underlying thread is relying on chance

So what is your point?🤔

BAILMONEY:
NOT EXACTLY, BUT GOD HIMSELF WAS SAYING IN THAT PARTICULAR VERSE THAT THE LYING PEN OF THE SCRIBES CHANGED HIS WORD.


CONTRADICTION

Leviticus 10:9 states that priests shouldn't drink wine or strong drink when entering the Tent of Meeting to distinguish between holy and common, or they would die.

NON-CONTRADICTION AUTHENTIC

Numbers 6:3 details the Nazarite vow, which included abstaining from all grape products (wine, grapes, raisins) during the vow period, a temporary commitment.

Laying a trap of consent stealing or stealing by consent aka gambling is not reliance on a chance.

Fortune telling is already witchcraft

Gambling is haram because Allah has forbidden it, and He rules as He wills. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, al-Ansab [sacrifices for idols, etc.] and al-Azlam [arrows for seeking luck or decision] are an abomination of Shaytan’s handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful. Shaytan wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drink) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from al-salah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?” [al-Maidah Quran 5:90-91]

Question answered perfectly
And from the write up, you think that was Allah's instruction?
I advised that you read through your write up again with open mind

Alcohol forbidden on earth but allowed in Aljannah
Let me educate you ASAP

Allah, may He be exalted, describes the wine of the Hereafter as being different from the wine of this world. He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine —

46. White, delicious to the drinkers.

47. Neither will they have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin) from that nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom”

[al-Saaffaat 37:45-47]

So Allah describes the wine of the Hereafter as:

1.white

2.delicious to the drinkers, unlike the wine of this world which is distasteful when drunk

3.having no “ghoul” (hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin) in it, which is what affects one who drinks it in this world, of headache, pain in the stomach and loss of reason. In Soorat al-Waaq’iah it says: “Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head” [56:19], i.e., they will not get a headache from it.

4.“nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom”, unlike the wine of this world which causes them to lose their minds.

See: Tafseer Soorat al-Saaffaat by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, p. 107-109.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

The wine of the Hereafter is good, and does not cause any intoxication or harm. As for the wine of this world, it is harmful and causes intoxication. In other words, in the wine of the Hereafter there is no ghawl (intoxication) and the one who drinks it will not become intoxicated; it does not cause him to lose his mind and it does not cause physical harm. As for the wine of this world, it is harmful to mind and body alike. None of the harmful effects in the wine of this world will be found in the wine of the Hereafter. And Allah is the source of strength. End quote.

Majmoo’ Fatawa Ibn Baz, 23/62.

You see how you came to Christians topic and commented freely without anybody subjecting you to any swearing an oath?

If it's yours now, you people will ask us to swear with our families name and still you will have the mind to call your religion the religion of peace.

God is watching everybody.

The real worshipers of such goddesses don't just try their luck instead they give or offer something in exchange for what they want from them.
The investors knows what is involved in getting stakers to bring their hard earned money.
So while the stakers are expecting to win investors are always winning each day as millions are bringing their money!🤔

You people will ask for knowledge when you now see it you turn to joking.

Well Fortuna is a demon in disguise and worshipers of demons pay high to get a return from such demons! Deuteronomy 18:10

There are secret altars for such deities both in ancient times and today it's not the blood of animals that's required to get quick return so when you hear of ritualists know now that they are going to get fortune (good luck) from Fortuna!😟

Sorry the Bible God instructed Adam the first man to go into agriculture {Genesis 2:15} so it's the work God gave humans not some goddess!🙂
So, when the apostles also casted lots to choose Matthias or when the High priest casts lot to chose the animal to sacrifice and the one to send to the wilderness as scapegoat, that is what? Explain to me the essence of casting lots in the Bible please and how it is different from gambling.

PLEASE, ALSO TELL NE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAMBLING AND FOREX OR STOCK MARKET. OYA

It is known that Banks is in the sin of stealing of which they were the ones who caused armed robberies to be done and insecurity so that people were forced bring their monies to them. That was why in those days people even said that they would not allow their children to be bankers. Churches then used to reject their "support".

But unfortunately they are protected by the same bandits called govt.

However, gambling is based on stealiing and unlawful gain that is why it is a sin
Quote just ONE place or verse where the Bible mentioned "GAMBLING" specifically as a SIN. Abi was there no gambling in the scriptural days? Why was it not mentioned specifically like other sins in Romans 1 and Galatians 5 or Revelations 20? Oya answer.

Technically, yes and no

Fortune telling is not permitted which gambling sort of falla under

But in the bible, casting lots was done which is also a form of gambling
What about Forex trading? How do you know Naira will fall and Dollar will rise? Is that not prediction? What about Stock market? How do you know which stock to buy and hold? Is that not prediction? Why didn't the Bible mention gambling as a sin when it was listing other sins? Abi gambling no dey that time? Why was it omitted in diverse verses of scriptures where others were mentioned?
Thanks

Maryiah:
Anything not morally right is a sin.
Who judge what is morally right or wrong?
If for instance in Yoruba land, it is morally wrong for a boy to great an elderly while standing, he is expected to prostrate. Is that a moral in the UK or US? Does that make it a sin?
The Bible is our rule book not CULTURAL morality because morality depends on what culture says it is. The Bible never mentioned GAMBLING as a sin, neither did it mention Forex trading or Stock buying. If you can any a sin, na your own be that. God will judge is us by the scriptures not by opinions.
