Was alcohol prohibited to the previous nations?












3















The Jews and the Christians, both, do not find anything banning alcohol in their scriptures and hence they consider it permissible. It is also known that alcohol was not prohibited in the early days of Islam.



So, do the Islamic scholars believe that alcohol was allowed for the previous nations or was it prohibited and they corrupted their book?

          Actually it is in the Christian scripture not to get drunk with alcohol, in at least two different places:

          Ephesians 5:18 New International Version (NIV) 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
