Commentary on 5:91
﴿إنَّما يُرِيدُ الشَيْطانُ أنْ يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ العَداوَةَ والبَغْضاءَ في الخَمْرِ والمَيْسِرِ ويَصُدَّكم عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ وعَنِ الصَلاةِ﴾ ذَكَرَ ما يَتَوَلَّدُ مِنهُما مِنَ الوَبالِ، وهو وُقُوعُ التَعادِي والتَباغُضِ بَيْنَ أصْحابِ الخَمْرِ والقِمارِ، وما يُؤَدِّيانِ إلَيْهِ مِنَ الصَدِّ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ، وعَنْ مُراعاةِ أوْقاتِ الصَلاةِ. وخَصَّ الصَلاةَ مِن بَيْنِ الذِكْرِ لِزِيادَةِ دَرَجَتِها، كَأنَّهُ قالَ: وعَنِ الصَلاةِ خُصُوصًا، وإنَّما جَمَعَ الخَمْرَ والمَيْسِرَ مَعَ الأنْصابِ والأزْلامِ أوَّلًا، ثُمَّ أفْرَدَهُما آخِرًا، لِأنَّ الخِطابَ مَعَ المُؤْمِنِينَ. وإنَّما نَهاهم عَمّا كانُوا يَتَعاطَوْنَهُ مِن شُرْبِ الخَمْرِ، واللَعِبِ بِالمَيْسِرِ، وذَكَرَ الأنْصابَ والأزْلامَ، لِتَأْكِيدِ تَحْرِيمِ الخَمْرِ والمَيْسِرِ، وإظْهارِ أنَّ ذَلِكَ جَمِيعًا مِن أعْمالِ أهْلِ الشِرْكِ. فَكَأنَّهُ (p-٤٧٤)لا مُبايَنَةَ بَيْنَ عابِدِ الصَنَمِ وشارِبِ الخَمْرِ والمُقامِرِ، ثُمَّ أفْرَدَهُما بِالذِكْرِ لِيُعْلَمَ أنَّهُما المَقْصُودُ بِالذِكْرِ ﴿فَهَلْ أنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ﴾ مِن أبْلَغِ ما يُنْتَهى بِهِ، كَأنَّهُ قِيلَ: قَدْ تُلِيَ عَلَيْكم ما فِيهِما مِنَ الصَوارِفِ والزَواجِرِ، فَهَلْ أنْتُمْ مَعَ هَذِهِ الصَوارِفِ مُنْتَهُونَ، أمْ أنْتُمْ عَلى ما كُنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ كَأنْ لَمْ تُوعَظُوا، ولَمْ تُزْجَرُوا؟!.

5:90
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡخَمۡرُ وَٱلۡمَيۡسِرُ وَٱلۡأَنصَابُ وَٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمُ رِجۡسٞ مِّنۡ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ فَٱجۡتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ ٩٠
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allāh], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid1 it that you may be successful.
1 translator’s note
- The prohibition understood from the word "avoid" is stronger than if Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) had merely said, "Abstain." The former requires distancing oneself from anything remotely related to these practices. ↩

إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ فِي ٱلۡخَمۡرِ وَٱلۡمَيۡسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَعَنِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ ٩١
Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allāh and from prayer. So will you not desist?
5:92
وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَٱحۡذَرُواْۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ٩٢
And obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification.
5:93
لَيۡسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جُنَاحٞ فِيمَا طَعِمُوٓاْ إِذَا مَا ٱتَّقَواْ وَّءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّءَامَنُواْ ثُمَّ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّأَحۡسَنُواْۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٩٣
There is not upon those who believe and do righteousness [any] blame concerning what they have eaten [in the past] if they [now] fear Allāh and believe and do righteous deeds, and then fear Allāh and believe, and then fear Allāh and do good; and Allāh loves the doers of good.
5:94
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَيَبۡلُوَنَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنَ ٱلصَّيۡدِ تَنَالُهُۥٓ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَرِمَاحُكُمۡ لِيَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَخَافُهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ فَمَنِ ٱعۡتَدَىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ٩٤
O you who have believed, Allāh will surely test you through something of the game that your hands and spears [can] reach, that Allāh may make evident those who fear Him unseen. And whoever transgresses after that - for him is a painful punishment.
5:95
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلصَّيۡدَ وَأَنتُمۡ حُرُمٞۚ وَمَن قَتَلَهُۥ مِنكُم مُّتَعَمِّدٗا فَجَزَآءٞ مِّثۡلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّعَمِ يَحۡكُمُ بِهِۦ ذَوَا عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ هَدۡيَۢا بَٰلِغَ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةِ أَوۡ كَفَّٰرَةٞ طَعَامُ مَسَٰكِينَ أَوۡ عَدۡلُ ذَٰلِكَ صِيَامٗا لِّيَذُوقَ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهِۦۗ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَۚ وَمَنۡ عَادَ فَيَنتَقِمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٞ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ ٩٥
O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of iḥrām.1 And whoever of you kills it intentionally - the penalty is an equivalent from sacrificial animals to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you as an offering [to Allāh] delivered to the Kaʿbah, or an expiation: the feeding of needy people or the equivalent of that in fasting, that he may taste the consequence of his matter [i.e., deed]. Allāh has pardoned what is past; but whoever returns [to violation], then Allāh will take retribution from him. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution.2
