The Arabic word khamr signifies any alcoholic drink that causes intoxication. We would be stating the obvious if we were to discuss the harmful effects of drinking on the individual’s mind, health, religion, and work; or if we discussed the disasters that he brings upon his family by neglecting their needs and by not fulfilling his obligations, as the head of the family, toward his wife and children; or if we elaborated on the spiritual, material, and moral evils which proliferate in societies and nations due to the widespread consumption of alcohol.

It is not surprising that all the revealed religions have prohibited fornication and adultery (zina) and have fought against these crimes against society. Islam, the last of the divinely revealed religions, is very strict in prohibiting zina, for it leads to confusion of lineage, child abuse, the breaking-up of families, bitterness in relationships, the spread of venerable diseases, and general laxity in morals, moreover, it opens the door to a flood of lusts and self-gratifications. Assuredly, the command of Allah,” And do not come near Zina; indeed, it is an abomination and an evil way,” (17: 32), is just and true.

Jabir ibn Abdillah (RA) said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:” Between a man and shirk and disbelief is the abandonment of salah (formal prayer).” (Muslim and Ahmad)
This hadith establishes that the barrier between a person and polytheism/disbelief is the performance of the five daily required prayers. This demonstrates how dangerous it is to abandon the salah. Salah, indeed, represents a clear division between a Muslim and a non-Muslim; it differentiates between those who are grateful to Allah (SWT) and those who are ungrateful.
