In Islam what's the punishment for drinking?

Question

I drank recently and regret it but I just don't know why I did it. probably because the people around me do. Now ramadan is coming up and I dont want to lose my Iman

Answer 1

Same as everything else: death. First slaughter a goat, then free a slave, then stone yourself to death.

Oh, I almost forgot, Islam is a religion of peace.

Answer 2

For drinking alcohol, there is a specific Hadd.That is 80 lashes.

In the early days of Islam, people who had stopped drinking prohibited others and those who committed the offence were lashed 40 times.

They use to flail the drinker with anything that came to hand - a piece of cloth, a shoe, a stick - just to let the person feel that he or she had indulged in something prohibited.

Later on when there was a complaint that people were returning to the old ways of drinking, `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the Muslims around, and `Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I think that drinking will make a person lose his mind and consequently start abusing others, uttering false accusations against them. So I think he deserves the same punishment for a person who falsely accuses other persons (Qadhif) that is 80 lashes." Henceforth, that became the standard of punishment for drinkers to stop them from falling into that."

Answer 3

Ask for forgiveness. Realise that Alaah loves you and you are not alone. If Allah had to punish evryone for example; the sin of the eyes then the whole world would be blind. Make an intention to stop and then act on it. If you break this taubah, then make taubah again and Allah will forgive you again and again and again until you die forgiven.    

Answer 4

ask allah swt for forgiveness allah is the most forgiving!!

Answer 6

My dear friend salam for you.In Islam the punishment for alcoholic drinking is whipping or lashing in 80 times.Drinking will give bad impact into your health.Drinking will prohibit or prevent anyone to do fard or mandatory prayer..Drinking will make anyone does not know the surah which should be read in the prayer and he/she will not know the exact time for prayer. Drinking is haram(not allowed) in Islam as stated in the Qur'an.

You have a bad habit of drinking and you will get big sins.Regret but then you do the same wrong doing is not really regret.Your prayer will not be accepted by Allah.A true repent should be avoided to do the same wrong doing  with hard intention in your mind and heartWhere there is a hard will there is a way.There is no one way to Rome.In every difficulty there is an easiness as spoken by Allah in the Qur'an

So you must not mingle with friends around you who are drinkingYou must go out from the bad environment. Ramadan should be used as the tool for forgetting of drinking with the awareness that drinking will ruin and have bad impact to your health.So stop it now insya allah you will win and could reject the satan's temptation to the wrong way.

Answer 7

Bismillah Ir-Rahman Ir-Rahim

Punishment from whom? Your parents? The masjid? The government? It's not like if you make a mistake, you have to go turn yourself in to the Islam police.

We're human. We make mistakes. We sin. You pray, give to charity, do good deeds, praise Allah, and wait to be judged on your day.

Try to forgive yourself, and change your lifestyle if that's what you wish. Learn from your mistakes, and the feeling it gives you, and think about what you really want from life. Then try to do better in the future :)

Allah is Most Benevolent, Most Merciful.

Drinking gives it's own punishment to you, by making you lose yourself. Also islamically it is haram to drink. But how strong faith you got is something inside your heart, it's bout your doings.
