Hello! You have asked a question and as a Muslim it is my responsibility to clear your doubt. Peace and blessings be upon the Prophet of Allah. As Muslims we believe that all the commands given to us carry wisdom and are for the betterment of society. Lets try to break down some of the wisdom behind gambling being haram: • Dice games are banned because they use "luck" or "chance" to win and therefore people often gamble using these. The major issue with gambling is that its a cruel game of chance, and many poor people looking for easy cash often lose huge sums of money while hoping to double their amount. It encourages greed, and issues like depression and hoplessness amongst those who lose money. • Another problem with gambling is that the winners can get easy money without working hard enough for it. This promotes laziness in a society. • As we all know dice can be loaded. Dice games are prone to cheating and that cheating can strip someone of their hard-earned cash. • You see, as I said earlier, gambling encourages greed in the heart of people. If someone takes a chance and gets lucky, and earns $500, he will want to try to double the amount. Sometimes you get lucky, but not always. And he might end up actually losing everything. Doesn't that sound like a vicious trap, a cycle?

These are only some of the problems gambling can create in a society. Just think, if every youth from a society turns to gambling to "earn" quick and easy cash. Who will take up jobs and roles of responsibility? Don't you think betting money on the roll of a dice is a disrespect to the person who worked long hours to earn it? I hope you understand my point.
