Misconception: Wine in Paradise

[هشيم]

A prophet says: there is wine in Paradise..!

They allege: Prophet of Islam tells his followers that there is wine in the Paradise… How can an impure thing exist in a holy place like Paradise..?!

And they use what is written in Muslim Correct number 3736Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) as saying:
He who drank (wine) in this world would be deprived of it in the Hereafter.

[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.

The Second evidence:

Allah Almighty saying: “There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring, (45) White and delicious to the drinkers; (46) No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated. (47)” Al Safat 45-47




1-It is written in Al Jalalayn Interpretation: “No bad effect is there in it” which kills the cells of their brains “nor from it will they be intoxicated” the (زz) is followed by either (ə) or (i) sound from the drunken got intoxicated or intoxicated; i.e. get intoxicated unlike the wine in this world.


2-It is written in Al Maysar Interpretation:

In their gatherings glasses of wine from flowing springs go around them, they do not worry about running out of it, its colour is white, has a delicious taste, and it does not harm body nor brain.
He could neither eat nor sleep

The third evidence:

Allah the Almighty’s speech: “They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed. (25)” Al Mutaffin 25

1-it is written in Al Jalalayn Interpretation: “They will be given to drink [pure] wine” a pure wine clear of fouls “[which was] sealed” on its vessel other than them no one can unseal it .

2-It is written in Al Maysar Interpretation:
With all of these good things prepared for them, radiance of joyful pleasure is seen on their faces, they drink from perfectly sealed vessels of pure wine, The last of it smells of musk, and for this enduring pleasure let the competitors compete. The mixture of this Multi-Blend drink is from a spring in Paradise called “Tasnim” for its being up at a high level, a spring which is prepared for those near [to Allah] drink from and enjoy its delicious taste.

The foregoing was a fatal answer to their misconception which says: How can an impure thing exist in a sacred place like Paradise..?!

Second:

If they said:
We accept the speech of the book, but why it is called wine, why not another name…?!

I said:
This calling is no more than being near to the meaning human being understands, there is nothing shared between the blisses of world life and afterworld only names, as the contents are very different… it is written in Bukhari Corrects number 3005:

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet, said, "Allah said, 'I have prepared for My pious worshipers such things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever thought of. All that is reserved, besides which, all that you have seen, is nothing. If you wish, you can recite this Verse from the Holy Qur'an:-- 'No soul knows what is kept hidden (in reserve) for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.'" (32.17)

Third:

That kind of wine ,which the objectors assume Paradise wine to be, is mentioned in their book Bible by their Lord Jesus -as they claim-, Gospel of Matthew Chapter 26 number 29 states:
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.


There are other texts state that the Lord Jesus drank wine, like: eater and drinker of wine and making wine in weddings… hence it is not prohibited on earth, as they think, and it is not going to be prohibited in Heaven.. And Jesus Christ spoke of it in two places in Gospel of Matthew, they are:

First:
Chapter 16 number 19:
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Second:
Chapter 18 number 18:
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.


From what mentioned before we notice: whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
The meaning: anything legal that is not prohibited on earth shall be allowed in Lord’s Heaven… No comment!
