In the verse Yā ayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū
Lā taqrabus-salāta wa antum sukārā (Q. 4.43), Allah is advising the believers not to approach prayer while they are in a state of drunkenness. This means that Muslims should not pray while they are under the influence of alcohol or any other substance that impairs their ability to perform the prayer properly. Allah wants Muslims to be in a clear and conscious state of mind when performing the prayer, so that they can fully concentrate on and connect with Him.
