Where did you get your information on the Qur'an and what it says? Qur'an does forbade all intoxicants (really this includes drugs as well) and very similar dietary constraints as Jews; including pork. Don't read in the the filthy terms as being infections. Those are all modern day attempts to reason why it is forbidden. The context has always (Jewish and Muslim) to be unclean religiously for some reason. Here is a good set of quotes/translations and opinions on the context of intoxicants in the Qur'an if you are curious. |
Did you not read the link you yourself qouted at me?
Chapter 5, Verse 90 “O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, stone alters, and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.”
"intoxicants are wine actually." - qoute Dino Mustafić (muslim, with friends that are scholars in it)
That user, speaks the language and says, people saying "intoxicans" are mis-translateing it.
The actual word in the koran isnt "intoxicans" but "wine".
Thats what I mean. People are "reading" things into it, that arnt the words used in the koran.
But if you look though the koran you can find mentions of various alcohol, by name, saying they are sinfull.
However you wont find "mead" in there.
Where do I get this?
My father told me, he heard it from a muslim.
Found it funny, like a loop hole they have in there about it, and remembered it because of that.
He told me, and I remembered it for the same reason.
Supposedly mead, a alchole made from honey, is supposed to be okay to drink by muslims.
