📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Ma’idah – Verse 91

"The devil (Shaitaan) desires only to infuse hatred and enmity among you through wine and gambling [252], and to bar you from the remembrance of Allah [253], and from Prayer. Will you then desist?"


✅ Wine and Gambling Lead to Worldly and Spiritual Loss [252]

Drunkenness breeds hatred, often leading to fights and even murder. In gambling, the loser harbors deep resentment toward the winner, sometimes with violent consequences. This reflects the worldly loss. The religious harm includes neglect of Salaah and remembrance of Allah, distancing one from faith.


✅ Anything Distracting From Prayer Is Evil [253]

From this, it is understood that any activity that prevents remembrance of Allah or leads to neglect of Salaah is inherently harmful. That is why even business dealings are prohibited after the Friday Adhaan—to safeguard the priority of worship over worldly engagement.
