Does the meaning of the verse, "As for one of you, he will serve wine to his lord," imply that Allah Almighty drinks wine?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The verse: "As for one of you, he will pour wine for his lord; and as for the other, he will be crucified, and birds will eat from his head. The matter about which you inquired has been decreed" [Quran 12:41] came in the context of Yusuf's (peace be upon him) interpretation of the dream of his two prison companions, where he clarified that one of them would pour wine for the king, and the other would be crucified. The intended meaning of "his lord" here is the king, as is clear from Yusuf's saying to the surviving cupbearer: "Mention me to your lord" [Quran 12:42].
