and has made disbelief, deviance and disobedience hateful to you. People
such as these are rightly guided. (Surat al-Hujurat: 7)
The only force that prevents man from indulging in wicked deeds and
perversion, and that makes good values spread in society is religion. In a
verse, Allah informs us thus:
Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer.
Prayer precludes indecency and wrongdoing. And remembrance of Allah is
greater still. Allah knows what you do. (Surat al-Ankabut: 45)
Gambling is Detrimental to Human Life
In our day, gambling blights entire societies. Nevertheless, gambling
continues to be one of the most profitable sectors. However, enormous
amounts of money spent for pure pleasure, namely for gambling, could
well be channeled to better purpose, i.e., to promote the public welfare.
Gambling, an evil act, is becoming more
widespread everyday due to the Internet and its
wide scale promotion in the media. Regarding
gambling as an acceptable practice would be a
very conscienceless act.
