drunk

Posted under Quran, current events, wisdom by rahma

THEY WILL ASK thee about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: “In both there is great evil as well as some benefit for man; but the evil which they cause is greater than the benefit which they bring.” Quran 2:219

Sure, getting drunk can be fun.  Walk through any college campus on a Friday night and you’ll see students having tons of fun. 

Then go and talk to someone who’s had a loved one killed by alcohol.  Which is greater, the fun of the college students, or the anguish that someone was lost too soon?

The driver who killed Dawn and injured Hatem was drunk - at 11:45 a.m.  Did his benefit outweight the evil he caused?
