Keep gambling, you will win millions

In June, the BBC News website ran a story in which it looked at a new wave of fruit machine like gambling terminals. These machines are driving huge profits for the betting shops and it is so worrying that local Councils are not trying to hit back and stop new betting shops from opening.

Just one road in Newham, East London has 18 (eighteen) betting shops alone, and more and more are opening around the country.

Reading from Chapter 5, verses 90 to 92 of The Holy Quran we look at the Islamic prohibition of gambling and the reasons why it is forbidden.
