Re: Alcohol and Prayer...
Even though the word prayes has been used several times in this post but there is difference in the meaning of this word which Seminole did not understand or could not grasp.
I'm trying to grasp as it appears all others are trying as well.

1-Praying before Allah is a sacred act for a muslim. If it is not the same case for anyone else then its not the fault of musims.

I dont follow the thought that ritualistic prayer is any more sacred than non-ritualistic

2- Prayer word, what is discussed here is Namaaz or Salaat which Seminole has absolutely no grasp about.
[/quote]
The hadith quoted here to support this view mentions 'prayer', not any specific prayer.

3- The issue is not the prayer what many think is a gesture of raising hands and asking something from Allah (Dua).
[/quote]
ok

4-The issue is exactly the same as it is described in Quran. Meaning performing prayer five times.
[/quote]
Actually the Quran prescribes only 3 prayers.

5- Having alcohol in the system as it was asked in the beginning is NOT ALLOWED in Islam as per Quran. I hope that should be the end of this silly question and discussion.
[/quote]
So having alcohol in your system throws you from the fold of Islam? Or only after 4 times during prayer?

Agreeing or disagreeing to narrated hadith is not the discussion of this thread.

Of course it is if it is the 'source' being used to justify a position.

This question must be asked in appropiriate place NOT here. I suspect Seminole looked for the answer for this question at all the WRONG places.

What official rules say so? Gupshup rules or can you quote a hadith? I ask this question when it is obvious IMO that hadith (that don't make sense) are put on par with God's words. No one ever has the answer.
