You Baka! (17 June 2005)
I've read The STAR newspaper yesterday (Thursday, 16th June 2005)...on page 10, under the headline 'Caning cannot be carried out until law is gazetted', quoted:
'******* ** ***** programme manager ********* ****** pointed out that the Quran DID NOT spell out a punishment for the consumption of intoxicants, either in private or in public.'
'"By making public consumption of alcohol an offence under the Syariah Criminal Offences Act, the Government has criminalised what is deemed a 'personal sin'," she said.'
I have to say, I'm not a noble man...and I did not read the Quran oftenly (shame on me! :P)...but looks like there are even more stupid people than me out there...based on my past learning, and my research, while i found out the Quran only mentioned that alcoholic liquor consumption is a SIN and MUST be avoided (please correct me if i'm wrong), Rasulullah p.b.u.h. (s.a.w.) himself mentioned in a hadith about the punishment for the sinners...the only thing i haven't found out whether it should be made public or private....hope anyone out there can shed some light on this...
I have one very nice source, here http://www.al-azim.com/masjid/infoislam/jinayat/arak.htmamong others as well...
remember, while our main source is the Quran, other sources should not be overlooked, like Hadith Rasulullah,Ijmak Ulama,Qias and other methods...
