Even One Instance of Getting Intoxicated may Lead to Irreparable Damage - Dr Zakir Naik
Dr. Zakir Naik argues that even social drinkers inevitably get intoxicated at some point, and warns that even a single instance of intoxication can lead to irreversible damage through serious crimes like rape or incest. He concludes by citing a prophetic saying that anything intoxicating in large quantities should be prohibited even in small amounts.
Summary
Dr. Zakir Naik presents an argument against alcohol consumption by focusing on the inevitable progression from social drinking to intoxication and its potential catastrophic consequences. He begins by asserting that any social drinker who has been consuming alcohol for several years will have experienced intoxication at least once, claiming that anyone who denies this is lying. Even if such drinkers haven't developed alcoholism, he maintains they will have been drunk on some occasions. Naik then escalates his argument by presenting a hypothetical scenario where a single instance of intoxication leads to irreversible moral and legal transgressions. He specifically mentions incest and rape as potential crimes that could be committed during intoxication, emphasizing that these would cause irreparable damage and lifelong regret even for otherwise good and modest individuals. The speaker concludes his argument by invoking prophetic wisdom, stating that anything which intoxicates in large quantities should be prohibited even in small quantities, thus rejecting any justification for moderate alcohol consumption.
