Consumption of alcohol for Muslim’s

In Islam, alcoholic beverages or any intoxicants including drugs are strictly forbidden. Intoxicants were forbidden in the Qur'an through several separate verses revealed at different times over a period of years. At first, it was forbidden for Muslims to attend to prayers while intoxicated. Then a later verse was revealed which said that alcohol contains some good and some evil, but the evil is greater than the good, therefore portraying the idea to Muslims that alcohol is forbidden.  

The Qur’an says Wine and gambling, is great sin, yet some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit. This was the next step in turning people away from consumption of alcohol and drugs and gambling. Finally, "intoxicants and games of chance" were called "abominations of Satan's handiwork," intended to turn people away from God and forget about prayer, and Muslims were ordered to stay away from drugs, alcohol and gambling as a result of Violence, family tragedies, suicides, disease and mainly sin and sexual harassment.

 In addition to this, some Muslims don’t consume food products that contain pure vanilla extract or soy sauce if these food products contain alcohol. Orthodox Muslims do not eat foods in which the alcohol would be cooked off or even if it would be practically impossible to consume enough of the food to become intoxicated.

 The Zaidi and Mutazili sects believe that the use of alcohol has always been forbidden and refer to this Qur'an as a feeling of sleepiness and not to be awake.
