| Smoking is Unlawful (Haraam)
CIGARETTE smoking is the most widespread example of drug dependence in many countries. The US Surgeon General's Office considers cigarette smoking as America's worst drug addiction problem. Medical investigations show that cigarette smoking is a major factor in the development of many cases of cancer, heart trouble, chronic lung and respiratory disease and other ailments. Smoking causes more illness and death than all other drugs. Cigarette smoking in pregnant women results in deleterious health effects on their newborn children.
The verses in the Holy Qur 'an clearly prohibit smoking of tobacco by Muslims. Hence smoking is unlawful in Islam.
Most people start smoking just to conform to peer or social pressures. They get a feeling of "grown-up." They find smoking (nicotine) at first acts as a stimulant.
Later they find they need to smoke as a tranquilizer.
These smokers develop a level of tolerance and bodily adjustment to nicotine. If this level of nicotine is not maintained in their blood, they will experience uncomfortable physical-psychologi cal dependence problems. These uncomfortable feelings are classic drug withdrawal symptoms.
Addictive drugs are psychoactive which create brain and nervous system dependence and lead to compulsive use. Abrupt discontinuation leads to physiological and psychological distress.
The withdrawal symptoms are headache, stomach discomfort, nervousness, irritability, sweating, change in heart and blood pressure and lower excretion of some hormones affecting the nervous system.
In Islam cleanliness and hygiene are emphasized to the extent that it has been considered a part of Iman (faith).
Smoking leads to health problems and this is a kind of slow suicide and Islam is against all types of suicide.
In the Qur'an, Allah says: "And do not kill anyone whose killing Allah has forbidden."(17:33)
And spend in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah loves Al-Muhsinûn ( the good-doers). (Qur'an 2:195)
O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you. (Qur' an 4:29)
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Nor be hurt or injure others."
It is scientifically proven that the exhaled smoke of the smoker is hazardous to non-smokers around him.
Islam considers the human body to be a sacred trust given to man by Allah because it contains the spirit breathed into it by Allah.
In this respect, the Qur'an says: "So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves into him." (Qur'an 15:29)
Hence the physical body should not be polluted or injured or destroyed in any way by smoking or taking of alcohol or any type of habit-forming drugs.
For the foregoing reasons and for reasons considered elsewhere, smoking is Haraam or unlawful in Islam, hence smoking should be discouraged and finally banned in all Islamic countries. All smoking Muslims should give up this unhealthy and un-Islamic activity.
