<![CDATA[This study examines the impact of alcoholic beverages on social life and their solutions from the Qur’anic perspective through a comparative study of Muhammad Rasyid Riḍā’s Tafsir Al-Manār and Wahbah al-Zuḥailī’s Tafsir Al-Munīr. The study is motivated by the problem of alcoholic beverages, which is not merely an individual behavioral issue but also has significant consequences for intellect, health, family, social relationships, morality, public security, and religious life. This study aims to analyze the concept of khamr in the Qur’an, identify the social impacts of alcoholic beverages, and compare the interpretations of Rasyid Riḍā and Wahbah al-Zuḥailī in formulating solutions to this problem. This research employs a qualitative method using library research and a comparative Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir muqāran) approach. The primary sources are Tafsir Al-Manār and Tafsir Al-Munīr, with particular attention to Qur’anic verses concerning khamr, especially Q.S. al-Baqarah [2]: 219, Q.S. al-Nisā’ [4]: 43, and Q.S. al-Mā’idah [5]: 90–91. The findings indicate that both exegetes share the view that khamr is an intoxicating substance that causes greater harm than benefit. Its impacts include damage to intellect, health, wealth, family stability, social relationships, morality, public security, and religious life. Their main difference lies in their exegetical emphasis. Rasyid Riḍā places greater emphasis on social, moral, health, and societal reform dimensions, while Wahbah al-Zuḥailī provides a more systematic discussion of jurisprudence, legal aspects, hadith, and public welfare. The solutions proposed are integrative, involving strengthening religious awareness, preventive education, family and community support, rehabilitation, as well as supervision and law enforcement.]]>
