IGRE NA NESREĆU I GUBITAK VEĆINE
HAZARDOUS GAMES ON CHANCE AND THE MAJORITY’S LOSS

Summary/Abstract: Every age and the historical circumstances that abound in great turmoil, crises, uncertainty and misfortunate destinies imply the evolution, especially in the cities, but lately, also in villages, of an industry of passion, an industry of pornography, an industry of prostitution, an industry of corruptions, an industry of perversion, an industry of alcohol and industry of drugs. Cities are the places of civilizational advancements, but they are also places of various social vices which tend more and more to spread towards their peripheries. Thus we are not talking about micro-intensity phenomenon of a local character, but of a phenomenon that has far reaching impact. Gambling and hazardous games, along with alcohol, drugs, fornication and prostitution are among the most widespread and disastrous phenomenon that have a negative impact not only upon an individual, but rather upon entire society, which are, as such, prohibited in Islam. In this article, the author analyses sociological, psychological, social and theological implications of gambling, as well as the other phenomenon that are related to it. He is here discussing numerous negative consequences which gambling has upon an individual and upon the society as a whole, he stresses that this, in return, entails the entire society to take action against gambling and other socio-pathological behaviours.
