Sura Al-Ma'idah from 90 to 95


90. O you who believe! Intoxicants ( all kinds of alcoholic drinks ) , and gambling, and Al- Ansâb [ 1 ] , and Al- Azlâm ( arrows for seeking luck or decision ) are an abomination of Shaitan’s ( Satan ) handiwork. So avoid ( strictly all ) that ( abomination ) in order that you may be successful. [ 2 ]
91. Shaitân ( Satan ) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants ( alcoholic drinks ) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allâh and from As- Salât ( the prayer ) . So, will you not then abstain?
92. And obey Allâh and the Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) , and beware ( of even coming near to drinking or gambling or Al- Ansâb, or Al- Azlâm, etc. ) and fear Allâh. Then if you turn away, you should know that it is Our Messenger’s duty to convey ( the Message ) in the clearest way.
93. Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate ( in the past ) , if they fear Allâh ( by keeping away from His forbidden things ) , and believe and do righteous good deeds, and again fear Allâh and believe, and once again fear Allâh and do good deeds with Ihsân ( perfection ) . And Allâh loves the good- doers.
94. O you who believe! Allâh will certainly make a trial of you with something in ( the matter of ) the game that is well within the reach of your hands and your lances, that Allâh may test him who fears Him unseen. Then whoever transgresses thereafter, for him there is a painful torment.
95. O you who believe! Kill not the game while you are in a state of Ihrâm [ for Hajj or ‘Umrah ( pilgrimage ) ] , and whosoever of you kills it intentionally, the penalty is an offering, brought to the Ka‘bah, of an eatable animal ( i.e. sheep, goat, cow ) equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you; or, for expiation, he should feed Masâkîn ( poor persons ) , or its equivalent in Saum ( fasting ) , that he may taste the heaviness ( punishment ) of his deed. Allâh has forgiven what is past, but whosoever commits it again, Allâh will take retribution from him. And Allâh is All- Mighty, All- Able of Retribution.

[1] (V.5:90) Animals that are sacrificed (slaughtered) on An-Nusub * and for the idols. Narrated ‘Abdullâh (raa) Allâh’s Messenger (saas) said that he met Zaid bin ‘Amr bin Nufail at a place near Baldah and this had happened before Allâh’s Messenger (saas) received the Divine Revelation. Allâh’s Messenger (saas) presented a dish of meat (that had been offered to him by the pagans) to Zaid bin ‘Amr, but Zaid refused to eat of it and then said (to the pagans), "I do not eat of what you have sacrificed (slaughtered) on your stone-altars (Ansâb ) nor do I eat except that on which Allâh’s Name has been mentioned on slaughtering." (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.7, Hadîth No.407). [See also the footnote of (V.2:135)].
* An- Nusub were stone- altars at fixed places or graves, whereon sacrifices were slaughtered on certain occasions in the name of idols, jinn, angels, pious men, saints in order to honour them, or to expect some benefit from them.

[2] (V.5:90) What is said regarding the one who regards an alcoholic drink lawful to drink, and calls it by another name.
Narrated Abu ‘Aamir or Abu Mâlik Al- Ash‘ari that he heard the Prophet ( saas ) saying, « From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks, and the use of musical instruments as lawful. And ( from them ) , there will be some who will stay near the side of a mountain, and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, ‘Return to us tomorrow.’ Allâh will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection. » ( Sahih Al- Bukhâri, Vol.7, Hadîth No.494B )
