Commentary

Sakara – (strong drink), sakaran means senselessness, but here it aims such thing; by which animate beings become senseless i.e. wine, spirituous liquors, alcohol etc.

It has been mentioned in this verse that fruit of the date-palm, grapes and other fruits like them have been produced for you, out of which you prepare the things of your necessity and rejoicing. Some things from those are good for you but some are injurious. For example, you prepare strong drink from the fruit of date-palm and grapes, whereas there is harm in it for you. Moreover, you acquire vinegar, dried dates and currants, which are good and useful for you. These all things have been created for you by Allah Almighty and He has given you sense and strength, so that you should use them, take good things and be saved from injurious things.

Most important work which you have to take from your sense is that by looking these things and reflecting into their rules and system, you should know their Creator. And you should be thankful to Him on His bestowed favors. You should use these things as He has commanded and be ready to escape from such things and matters which He has forbidden by means of His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Certainly the sense of the mankind is able to know Allah Almighty by observing these portents.
