Smoking and islam
“Every talk(word) u can take from it or not except Rasoul Allah words”
I know many may not agree on that words in here but I am just a messenger to what I known and what I see that is a way where our enemies is try to destroy our ummah , and u al have minds and knowledge to judge as u want and to accept or not according to ur faith and believes, O Allah I have just told others , O Allah witness on that,Allah knows best)
U have to know may Allah have mercy on u that smoking is an evil no way , and some may say it is forbidden in Islam due to what it causes from harms in health , to u and to others and to ur money and ur brain, and it is known among scholars that Islam forbid anything that harms 1) brain, 2) health 3) others 4) money , and no doubt that smoking harms all of that and , and we will have verses from Quran and sunnah to show that inshAllah, and sure not it must be the right words so let just read and analysis and then everyone has mind and ability to judge by himself on smoking and how Islam looks to it. And it was proved by medical that smoking is harmful no doubts, that is why u saw on the cigarette box is written “smoking harms ur health”. In addition, it was proved that many cases of death are due to smoking as it is a direct cause for heart diseases, lungs and veins. And Islam calls u not to kill urself .
Many scholars says that smoking is forbidden due to the following:
First: proves from Qur’an:
قال الله تعالى"وَيٌحِلٌّ لَهٌمٌ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَ يٌحَرِّمٌ عَلَيْهِمٌ الخَبَائِثَ" ( الاعراف:157)
“Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper." { Al Araaf 7 :157}
And it is known that good and pure (Al tayebat) things(food) the Muslim says when he start to eat it “ BismIllah” and when he finished he says “AlhamduIllah” , and cigarettes not like that , so we known(scholars) it is from bad and impure (kabaeth).
قال الله تعالى"وَلاَ تَقْتٌلٌوا أَََنْفٌسَكٌمْ اِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ بِكٌمْ رَحيِِمَاَ"
( النساء:29)
“ O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful! " { Al Nesa 4:29}
And smoking kills millions per year by cancer and others diseases, so it is a slow killing to the soul.
(3) قال الله تعالى" وَ لاَ تٌلْقٌوا بِأَيْديْكٌمْ اِلَى التَّهْلٌكَة" (البقرة: 195)
“And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good “. {Al Baqarah 2:195}
قال الله تعالى" وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا(26)إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوا إِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِرَبِّه كَفُورًا(27) (الاسراء: 26-27)
“26. And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. 27. Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful. “
{Al Isra 17:26-27}
And the smoker spent his money on smoking and on something which harms him and in disobeying Allah and it is better that he spent that money on his family and children or for Allah sake instead of that that and instead of spending more money later on his sickness and diseases. Is it from the mind and genius that human buy his harm ness by his money!!??
Second: Proves from sunnah:
Rasoul Allah (salla Allah aleh wa salam said) “ No harm and no harm others"لاضرر و لا ضرار" "(means don’t harm urself or harm others) { Bukhari, Ahmed, and was corrected and said sahih by Al Albaney}.
And that is disorder {nahey (نهي)} and disorder (nahey) means forbidden.
( sure not must be right but that is ijtihad but if u don’t accept it so make ijtihad to search for truth and analysis to the above verses hadiths)
Important points to know:
1)Dar Al ifta in Egypt:
made a fatwa says in it” smoking is haram by all ways of shariah” (Dr. shiehk: Naser Fareed Wasel) ,{date: 25 jamad Al Awel 1420 hijeran } Allah knows best.
2) The good smell of muslim is an important thing:
the smell of the smoker is awful and harms who prays and it is more harmful than the smell of onion and garlic , and Rasoul Allah (PBUH) said “ who eat onion or garlic so don’t get nearer to our mosque , as angels get harmed by what harms baney Adam(humans) “ {Muslim}.so fear Allah in the people who prayers, and also Rasoul Allah used to keep the smell of the Muslims who prays good as He (PBUH) said “ perfume ur mouth by sewak ( a stick made from arek wood with good smell used to clean mouth as brush nowdays) as it says Qur’an” {Al Albaney}, and the smell of the smoker is not good but always bad and al his clothes smells same cause of smoking.
4) Religion is advise {Muslim}
the smoker may say I cant stop smoking, so u have to know that that is from (shitan) satan , u have to know that while u smoke one cigarette u burn ur self with it and that shitan plays with u and u suppose to be stronger and have ability not to make him victor on u and on ur strength if u really have faith and eman may be it take times but if u fear Allah u will win at end inshAllah , and also u have to know that u disobey Allah and that smoking will take u to more danger stages if u let shitan victor and u follow his desires , so return back to Allah and quit smoking immediately and strive urself and be patient and know that Allah will reward u on that jihad (strive) and keep on Dua and ask Allah help and right path.
3) smoking and harming others , smoking and brough up children:
the smoker harm people and he made them smoke by force as he force them to breath the smoke which harms them and that what is called negative smoke , which means they smoke by force , and also when parents smoke in front of kids so he became a bad ideal to them and they will be like their way on smoking and do like them and that may lead them to others things which is more harmful than smoke. And by that way he will be brought them up wrong and cheating them and not do his role as a father or mother which Allah will ask them about that role .
