Tuba in Islamic writings

spotted this on some random blog today:
Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have Mercy upon him said, “And this does not mandate that if he becomes a stranger that the one holding fast to it [i.e. Islam] is upon evil, no. Rather, he is the happiest of people, as it was said in the complete Hadith, “So Tuba for the strangers.” And “Tuba” is from At-Tayyib (good).
(An-Nawawi said, “Tuba is from At-Tayyib (good), stated by Al-Fira’. And as for the meaning of Tuba, then the scholars of exegesis differed upon the meaning of His, Ta’ala’s Statement, “Tuba is for them and a beautiful place of (final) return.”
Just sayin'

There's an article on Wiki Travel for the Philipines that says . . . .
Tuba is fermented from the coconut sap and though tuba itself can be drunk, it is also distilled to take the form of lambanog. Lambanog is now being marketed widely both locally and internationally in its base form as well as in several flavored variants such as mango, bubble gum and blueberry.
Is the Hadith recommending the drinking of alcohol?

Don't know about that (but religion always seems to lead to drink after a while...) - to investigate the situation, a Tuba World Tour should be funded - I have posted some sites for possible research here:

In the Latin Vulgate (early Fifth Century version of the Bible translated from the Hebrew and Aramaic largely the result of the labors of Jerome), the word TUBA is used to mean trumpet.
Example:
Revelation Chapter 8:6
Et septem angeli, qui habebant septem tubas, præparaverunt se ut tuba canerent

Tuba mirum spargens sonum
per sepulchra regionum,
coget omnes ante thronum.
(translation)
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth;
through earth's sepulchers it ringeth;
all before the throne it bringeth.

Tuba is a very common girl's name in Turkey. I've never seen a girl named Tuba who wasn't beautiful.
There is also a poisonous fish in Indonesia called the tuba. Don't eat it.
As far as tuba, the coconut palm liquor, when you play the instrument, drunk Filipinos can't understand why anyone could waste his time blowing tuba when he should be drinking it.
