Misconception: Wine in Paradise

[هشيم]

Dispelling this Misconception:


First:
The wine of this world is not like the wine of the Hereafter as it appears to the objectors… The evidences for this are:

The First evidence:
Allah the Almighty states: “There will circulate among them young boys made eternal (17) With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring - (18) No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - (19)” Al Waqiha 17-19

1-It is written in Jalalayn Interpretation:
“No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated” “لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنْزَفُونَ” the sound of (zْز) letter is followed by either (ə) or (i) from (intoxicated drinker or نَزَفَ الشَّارِب) i.e. the wine will not trigger headache or intoxication unlike the wine in this world.


2-It is written in Al Maysar Interpretation:
Immortal boys, that do not die or get old in age, will go around serving them, with cups, and jugs and a glass of flowing wine well in the Paradise, wherefrom they will get neither any headache nor any intoxication.

3-It is written in Ibn Kathir Interpretation: His speech: “No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated” i.e. they will not get headache and nor intoxicated, but it is rather mild with strong feeling of joy and maintaining pleasure.
And Al Thahak narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said: Wine has four characteristics: sugar, headache, throwing up and urinating. Allah the Almighty mentions Paradise wine and purified it from these characteristics.
Mujahid, Akrama, Saeed Bin Jbair, Atya, Qatada and Al Suddy, they said: “No headache will they have therefrom” says: they will have no headache wherefrom. And they said about Almighty’s verse: “nor will they be intoxicated” i.e. the wine will not cause them to lose control of their intellect.
