Many Muslims think smoking is not Haram because it is not explicitly mentioned in one of the verses of the Holy Quran. I have met some people who even smoke before coming for Solat. Below from IslamQA are some of the reasons why smoking is Haram in Islam and why you have to stop today.



1.Islam forbids everything that is harmful Perhaps you know that all nations of the world – Muslim and kafir alike – have now started to fight smoking, because they know that it is very harmful.

Islam forbids everything that is harmful, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There should be no harming or reciprocating harm.”

Undoubtedly there are foods and drinks which are beneficial and good, and others which are harmful and bad. Allah described our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the following terms (interpretation of the meaning):

“…he allows them as lawful At Tayyibat (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods), and prohibits them as unlawful Al Khabaith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods)” [al-A'raf 7:157]

Is smoking one of the good and lawful things (al-tayyibat) or one of the evil and unlawful things (al-khabaith)?

2.Spending on smoking is spending on something harmful
It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah forbids you to trade gossip, to ask too many questions and to waste money.” And Allah forbade wasteful extravagance when He said (interpretation of the meaning):

“and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance)” [al-A'raf 7:31]

And He described the slaves of the Most Merciful as follows (interpretation of the meaning):

“And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor stingy, but hold a medium (way) between those (extremes)” [al-Furqan 25:67]

The whole world now knows that the money spent on smoking is to be considered as money wasted, from which no benefit is gained. Indeed, it is money spent on something harmful.

If the money which is spent on smoking worldwide were to be collected, it could have saved entire populations who have died of starvation. Is there anyone more foolish than one who holds a dollar bill and sets fire to it? What is the difference between him and the one who smokes? Indeed, the smoker is more foolish, because the folly of the one who burns a dollar bill ends there, whilst the one who smokes burns his money and also harms his body.

3.Smoking has caused many disasters
How many disasters have been caused by smoking, because of cigarette butts which are thrown away and cause fires. Other disasters have been caused in other ways, as when a house was burned down with its occupants inside, when a man lit his cigarette when there was a gas leak.

4.Many people are offended by the smell of smokers
How many people are offended by the smell of smokers , especially when you are unfortunate enough to have one of them standing next to you in the mosque. Probably any nasty smell is easier to bear than the smell of the smoker’s mouth when he has just woken up. It is amazing how many women can put up with the smell of their husbands’ mouths!

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade those who had eaten garlic or onions from coming to the mosque so that they would not offend their fellow-worshippers with their smell. The smell of onions and garlic is easier to bear than the smell of the smoker and his mouth.

These are some of the reasons why smoking is haram.

And Allah knows best.

Brethren, please stop smoking today!

JAZAAKALLAH.

Smoking kills. Quit it

Marijuana-Haram

Playing Ludo too is Haram

Smoking is not Haram! Get your facts right.. A Muslim is allowed to smoke but not consume alcohol.

When would 9ja Muslims stop all these being more Catholic than the pope attitudes?

Are you trying to say you're better than your Arab fellows?

Have you been to Saudi? Dubai, Oman, Jordan etc and see that these guys use cigarette to break their fasting?
And yet they're more prosper and developed.

It's high time we relegate doctrine and follow our Conscience.

So how does smoking make for a good deed or how does smoking make one closer to Allah

By your analysis cocaine is not abominable in Islam because it wasn't mentioned in quran yet hypocrite Saudi (custodian of Islam) have death sentence on it

Hammyaladin:
well we've seen videos of pastors fucking on the Alta.... Which is worse? Answere me? Ipob!

you need to have a brain because in Christianity the house of God is the body of born again Christians not a block of cement

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV),

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?

But in Islam the presence of allah resides in the stone which you must bow down to and face it's direction else your communication to allah is useless

Quran 5:97

“Allah has made the Kaba, the Sacred House, an asylum of security, Hajj, and 'Umrah (pilgrimage) for mankind...”

Too bad allah temple you are sipping from is high on narcotic drugs

Btw Abdul there are many reported cases of naked men in white towel grouping women asses/masturbating while circumbating round the kaabah

When we were small Cigar Ads ends with : The federal Ministry of health warns that tobacco smoking is dangerous to health!

Later the ending became : The federal Ministry of health warns that tobacco smokers are liable to die young!

Islam says it haram!

Government says it kills though they never ban it cos it rakes in appreciable tax and also creates employment.

So why are you trying to kill yourself?

I still don't understand why I need to acknowledge I'm a Muslim before allowing me to comment.
Well Everyome got a choice even here in Dubai which is an Islamic country, they smoke more than we do in the whole of Nigeria

I'm not convince enough. Sugar and some other foods are harmful too.

Masha Allah

Despite the fact that the packet of cigarettes are completely decorated with adverts against smoking, Smokers still don't care.
They prefer to die slowly than quit. No be Juju be that?

In other news,
I didn't know when I clicked yes....
So therefore I'll henceforth comment on Muslim threads till that biased declaration is removed from my profile.

Thank you.
