Pure Handwork
How can Allah let muslims drink alcohol in heaven, but not on earth?
The Qur’an has some very strong language with respect to alcohol:
“O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan’s handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.” (Surah 5:90, Yusuf Ali)
Yet, we see that the Qur’an then teaches that “Satan’s handiwork” will appear in the Paradise which Allah is said to prepare for faithful Muslims,
“(Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell for ever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?” (Surah 47:15, Yusuf Ali)

The theory being that “Heaven” is a reward for what you did on earth, so having lived a life of denial on earth you are rewarded with “pleasures” in heaven
