Christianity and Drugs and Alcohol
Against Drugs
Most Christians are against illegal drugs, because:
- You should not do harm to your body as “Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit…”1 Corinthians 6:19
- Christians are encouraged to follow the laws of the land they are in so should not take illegal drugs.
- The body is a gift from God and we have no right to abuse it.
Alcohol
Islam and Drugs and Alcohol
Muslims are against illegal drugs.
They believe that the body is a gift from God and should not be abused.
Alcohol is forbidden in Islam
- it causes people to lose control
- It is seen as a weapon of Shaytan (the Devil)
- People are more likely to do stupid things when they are drunk and stop thinking about other people and Allah.
- A Muslim should have a clear mind when praying, and so there can be no place for alcohol.
