Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Commentary On the Holy Qur'an 48 Intoxicants and Gambling When man becomes sunk in sinning, he begins to delude himself with self-deceiving arguments in favour of his conduct, justifying his actions as being within the law. He argues that liquor and gambling are not forbidden in the Holy Qiir'an. But the Qur'an speaks vehemently against these thing~.

They ask thee (O Our Apostle Muhammad) concerning wine and lots (games of chance); Say, in both these is great sin and also (some) profit for men; but their sin is greater than their profit. And they will ask thee (O Our Apostle Muhammad) what they shall spend (in alms);Say, "whatsoever can be spared"; thus doth God make clear for you the signs so that ye may ponder. (2:219) O ye who believe! Intoxicants and games of chance, (dedications of) stones (ie.

idols) and (divination by) arrows, are only an abomination of Satan's handiwork, so be ye away from it so that ye may be successful (5:90) 49 Niggardliness A niggardly person regards only himself. Whatever he owns he will leave in this world and will leave it without spending his wealth in the right way and thus without earning good in the afterlife.
