How come the Quran prohibits drinking alcohol, yet it says that paradise will have rivers of wine ? In paradise, the believers will enjoy things that were forbidden for them on Earth, possibly for at least 2 reasons: (a) These lucky individuals have proved the obedience to God on Earth and now, in paradise, God wants to reward them by granting them the opportunity to enjoy the things they willingly chose to stay way from on Earth out of the obedience to God. (b) God forbids certain things on Earth because they have bad consequences on a person’s health, family life, society, etc. Because life in paradise is totally different from life on Earth, such bad consequences do not exist in paradise. |
