What Does the Quran Say About Drinks?

Drinks are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

 

[2:249] When Saul took command of the troops, he said, “God is putting you to the test by means of a stream. Anyone who drinks from it does not belong with me – only those who do not taste it belong with me – unless it is just a single sip.” They drank from it, except a few of them. When he crossed it with those who believed, they said, “Now we lack the strength to face Goliath and his troops.” Those who were conscious of meeting God said, “Many a small army defeated a large army by God’s leave. God is with those who steadfastly persevere.”

[6:70] You shall disregard those who take their religion in vain, as if it is a social function, and are totally absorbed in this worldly life. Remind with this (Quran), lest a soul may suffer the consequences of its evil earnings. It has none beside God as a Lord and Master, nor an intercessor. If it could offer any kind of ransom, it would not be accepted. They suffer the consequences of the evil works they earn; they have incurred hellish drinks, and a painful retribution because of their disbelief.

[10:4] To Him is your ultimate return, all of you. This is God’s truthful promise. He initiates the creation, then repeats it, in order to reward those who believe and lead a righteous life, equitably. As for those who disbelieve, they incur hellish drinks, and a painful retribution for their disbelieving.

[23:33] The leaders among his people who disbelieved and rejected the idea of the Hereafter – although we provided for them generously in this life – said, “This is no more than a human being like you. He eats from what you eat, and drinks as you drink.

[36:73] They derive other benefits from them, as well as drinks. Would they not be appreciative?

[37:45] Cups of pure drinks will be offered to them.

[38:51] Relaxing therein, they will be given many kinds of fruits and drinks.

[38:57] What they taste therein will be hellish drinks and bitter food.

[44:46] Like the boiling of hellish drinks.

[52:23] They will enjoy drinks that are never polluted, and never sinful to drink.

[56:18] With cups, pitchers and pure drinks.

[56:54] “Then drinking on top of it hellish drinks.

[56:55] “Then adding drinks of sand.”

[76:15] They are served drinks in silver containers and cups that are translucent.

[76:16] Translucent cups, though made of silver; they rightly deserved all this.

[76:17] They enjoy drinks of delicious flavors.

[76:18] From a spring therein known as “Salsabeel.”

[76:19] Serving them will be immortal servants. When you see them, they will look like scattered pearls.

[76:20] Wherever you look, you will see bliss, and a wonderful dominion.

[76:21] On them will be clothes of green velvet, satin, and silver ornaments. Their Lord will provide them with pure drinks.

[78:34] Delicious drinks.

[83:25] Their drinks will be spiced with nectar.

[88:14] And drinks made available.
