 Assalamu alaikum guys, I've always prayed to God but when I was a child of God and during my journey to Islam, my prayers being forgot to help me understand what I can change to be sincere about what I can't change and to have the wisdom to know the difference. These principles have guided me and led me to see that Islam is more than just a religion. It is a culture and a source of mercy for humanity. Please, if you can like and share this very important video and subscribe if you haven't already. The mercy I'm talking about here isn't just about Allah, the creator and organizer of the world but it's also applied to some of the laws and principles found in the Quran. Today I want to talk about the issue of alcohol consumption. The Quran's prohibition of alcohol was a brilliant decision. Allah, in Surah Al-Baqarah chapter 2 verse 219 recognizes that the harm caused by alcohol at ways any benefit Allah says. The axiom about wine and gambling say in them is great sin and yet some benefit for people but the sin is greater than the benefit. I want to share a story about a British man who struggled with the harm caused by alcohol. As mentioned in the Quran, he unknowingly followed the example of the Prophet, peace be upon him, of usually bars or places where people drink alcohol right and you might even feel pressured to have a drink even if you don't want to. So this man decided to open a place where alcohol is not allowed. Amazing. According to a report, Dry Dog in Weymouth was started by some Watsingh, a recovering alcoholic who couldn't find a place to go in the evening that didn't serve alcohol. Surprisingly, Mr. Watson said it has been a success since the venue opened. Mashallah. Listen carefully to what Mr. Watson said. The welcome we have had in our community has been absolutely phenomenal. The number of people coming through the door and the positive feedback we've received has been amazing. So far it's been successful and we can keep our doors open every day. This is for the community as long as we can cover the bills and pay our staff that we're happy to keep going. This shows that people appreciate a place that promotes sanity and orderliness. Britain and the Western world would benefit from the values of Islam. The solutions to alcoholism, which has harmed the world for centuries, can be found in Islam. These religions that you might dislike, this religion you might dislike, actually all for the solution you need. Why not consider joining Islam soon? I mean, that's the best decision. I want to encourage Mr. Watson to explore Islam. Allah revealed 400 years ago that alcohol has no intrinsic health benefit, which aligns with later scientific research. For example, a study by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism found that alcohol interferes with the brain's communication pathways and can affect the way the brain looks and works. Alcohol makes it harder for the brain areas controlling balance, memory, speech and judgment to do their jobs. Results in a high likelihood of injuries and other negative outcomes. Long-term heavy drinking causes alterations in the neurons such as reduction in their size. In Britain, 24% of adults in England and Scotland regularly drink more than what's considered safe by the chief medical officer. Additionally, 27% of drinkers in Great Britain engage in binge drinking on behaviors drinking dyes. The parts in recommend the limits that's over 8% for men and over 6 units for women. Tragically, over 6,358 people die every single month due to alcohol consumption. Heavy alcohol use has been linked to various cancers. According to the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research, the reads compelling evidence connecting alcohol to cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, osophagus, breast, liver, colon and rectum. So what is the solution? The solution is quite simple, mate. At British Islam, it can save lives. Islam offers answers for married, family preservation, banking, finance and how society should be organized in general. If only some western countries would adopt Islam as the official state religion, many of these societal problems could be reduced. Please show your support by like and sharing and subscribing. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, Assalamualaikum.
