How Gambling Haram Harms

Our religion forbids all games of chance guys We ain't allowed to indulge in that harmful enterprise But no one can claim that gambling is at all wise To more has gambling brought much misery and misfortune Trying your luck that way brings bad luck to this money goon! So goes without saying, no need of elaborating that harmful and addictive are casinos and gambling Quick money is the lure but gambling is such an addictive trap Indeed a vicious circle it is for sure and you can 'bet' my warnings ain't crap! The casino wheel doesn't always tip the scales in your favour many times bringing down people from heights of immense affluence to the abyss of poverty and monetary crimes as gamblers act as if 'under the influence' God only wished us to not be thus corrupt for He foresaw most gamblers going bankrupt To gamble is sin and you don't always win You might end up losing even the little you had from bad to worse, tycoon hero to zero, alas too sad I amn't uselessly rambling Better stay away from gambling A compulsive gambler frequenting the casino might forever court ill- luck you know from slot machine back to home, to and fro! As to others his bucks shall flow.

Quick money is like quick love, it gets lost on quick enterprise. Its amazing, that at this very moment I am listening to Ludacri's rap song Compulsive Gamblers, wild man!Cheddar dividends in my soul fridge always playa! A valuable moral put to your poetic experience. I'll like soul gamblin. J.A.B.

Gambling is definitely a thing which starts from enjoyment but ultimately leads to many vices and sometimes to a point of no return. Thank you once again for liking my Tarana Song Ta Na Na Dhoom. By the way Tarana is a Urdu word. A song basically remains a song only unless it is meant for specific purposes. Its feelings are generally universal -neither of a Hindu, nor of a Christians or Muslims. For poets and writers all religions are good and all should be respected. At least I believe in this way. Love and best wishes always..Ravindra K Kapoor

I feel rather embarrassed not knowing difference between Hindu and Muslem. See. I even mis-spelled it. Just trying to learn about the world and ropes of poetry. One thing I know for sure. We are all different.

Oh there is a world of difrence. Muslims are not idolator idolworshipers and polytheists, they r the opposite of that. Cheers poet.

Only slot machines on cruises which is maybe once a year. What a way to go was referring to a comment in your poem. Also, Kewal Mahtwani was my Sociology Professor. He and his wife both have PhD's from Iowa State in Sociology. He always wore a gold cap. Does that have any significance? He loved eating buckwheat pancakes. That was back in 1965-67 at Wichita State University. You are also welcome to read my poems which are fair at best. Other poets make positive comments trying to be nice.

Manshaalah Zeynub, that was some great advice to everyone, Gambling is haraam because of the cheats involved in it, not only the risk that one undertakes

I certainly understand why this type of gambling is a sin in ones religion, S. zaynub Kamoonpuri. Compulsive gambling is an addiction that not only takes a persons money but also takes their heart and soul. It can leave them, and their family's in total turmoil. This is well written and so true. I will read more of your poetry.... Robert.

Words of wisdom S. Zaynub, so true. Better to give that money over to God for His reward will be great. Show me a winner and I'll show you a liar. Take care. Great write.
