That&#x27;s an important difference. Christians believe good is from God and evil is from Satan. (Forgive me if I&#x27;m mistaken, I know that&#x27;s a gross oversimplification.) Muslims believe good and evil are both creations of God. So most things have both good and evil in them, including alcohol:<p><i>They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, &quot;In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit.&quot;</i><p>-- 2:219 <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;quran.com&#x2F;2&#x2F;219" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;quran.com&#x2F;2&#x2F;219</a><p>Keep in mind that the Quran was revealed piece by piece over two decades. The later parts add to the earlier parts. That can be a source of ambiguity to Western readers (not to mention that the chapters are not in chronological order), which is why it&#x27;s important to understand it as a whole rather than its individual verses or chapters.
