106. REPEL EVIL وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ. Good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with that which is best. (41:35). DRINKING AND GAMBLING ARE. FORBIDDEN يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَمُ رِجْسُ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاء فِي الْخَمرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ ويَصُدَّكُم عَن ذِكْر اللَّهِ وَ عَنِ الصَّلَوةُ فَهَل الله مُنتَهُونَ ). Allah says:. O ye who believe, liquor, gambling, idols and divining arrows are but abominations and satanic devices. So turn wholly way from each one of them that you may prosper. . Satan desires only to create enmity and hatred between you by means of liquor and gambling and to keep you back from the remembrance of Allah and from Prayer. . Will you, then desist? (5:91,92). DO GOOD DEEDS إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقُوا وَالَّذِينَ هُم تُحْسِنُونَ )
