The Wine of Jannah

You’ll go back home and have a cup of wine from Jannah. ‘Round will be passed to them a cup from a clear, flowing fountain, baydaa`oo - crystal white, of a taste delicious to those who drink it. Neither they will have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin, etc.) from that, nor will they suffer intoxication there from.” (37:45-46)

Ibn Kathir says, it will not cause them headache, nor will it make them lose their minds. Ibn ‘Abbaas says that there are four negative aspects of alcohol: drunkenness, headaches, increased urination and nausea and vomiting. These are four negative side effects of drinking. Ibn ‘Abbaas says that Allah has purified the wine of Jannah from all four of these things. The people of Jannah will drink a lot of wine, but it will not make them drunk, it will just give them pleasure. Everything in dunya is a mixture of pleasure and pain – there is nothing completely good or completely bad. This world is not good enough to be Jannah or bad enough to be Hell. Alcohol comes with all of these side effects, that is why it is made haraam in Qur’an. Allah says that there are some good aspects from it, but the sin coming from it is greater. In Jannah, all of these side effects will be gone and it will be pure pleasure.
