When Muhammad arrived in Medina, (around 620 A.D.) he found rampant drunkenness in the city. Attempting to restore attention on God, he decreed that the faithful should no longer consume any alcoholic beverages. After a time, only the coffee sun tea, known as qishr, was consumed. Qishr is still drunk today, either as a coffee sun tea or as a beverage brewed by boiling water.
