Note to Smokers..

Assalamualaikum~

Today, I would like to make a post about smoking..

Smoking is a practice in which a substance,

most commonly tobacco, is burned and

the smoke is tasted or inhaled...

Some people smoke because it looks cool to them

You know what?

It looks absolutely retarded

In Islam smoking is HARAAM!!

Some people would fight back

by saying

there is no Wahyu nor Fatwa

and whatnot

that states that smoking is prohibited

However, there is a firman

stating that we cannot hurt ourself in anyway

something like

jangan menzalimi diri sendiri

I don't quite remember

Allah says,

"...make not your own hands

contribute to your destruction..." (Surah al-Baqarah 2:195);

"...nor kill yourselves..." (Surah al-Nisaa 4:29)

Which means,we can't harm ourself

physically and spiritually

Examples:

Physically: hurt ourself, by purposely

putting ourself in danger

Spiritually: not praying, don't recite the Qur'an

Apart from that, everyone knows

that smoking kills you..

Slowly but surely..

It destroys everything inside you

Until your body can no longer function

and you'll suffer from

immense pain

And you'll die..

Sure everyone is going to die someday

but by smoking

you'll lessen your possible lifespan

Maybe you could have lived until 80 years old

but because you smoke, you died at 40 or less

In other words,

with every cigaratte that you smoke

you purposely kill yourself

also known as

suicide..

In an authentic hadith,

the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that

"Whomsoever drinks poison,

thereby killing himself,

will sip this poison forever and

ever in the fire of Jahannum (Hell)."

Suicide is haraam

because it's like you're trying to take

Allah's powers

Only He create lives

and only He take away lives

Who are you to take away

your own life?..

It's up to Him

Why would you want to die

when He gives you the chance to live

He gives you the chance for Tawbah...

Those who suicide

goes to Hell for sure..

Because it's one of the

biggest sin a person

could ever commit...

If you do the Math

smoking = suicide

suicide = goes to hell

therefore, smoking = goes to hell

simple as that..

Just because the Quran never

said the words : "smoking is Haraam"

Allah, has given you brains

to differ between the good

and the bad

to think of the words in the Quran

to interpret it's meanings

and of course

there will still be others

who smoke will say

"I'm not a Muslim, so I can smoke"

not entirely true..

Do you know how many diseases

are caused by smoking cigarettes?

Some of the diseases due to smoking include:

1. Lung Cancer, Mouth Cancer, Throat Cancer

2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Emphysema = breathlessness caused by damage

to the air sacs within the lungs

Chronic Bronchitis = coughing with a lot of mucus

that continues for at least three months.

3. Smoking raises blood pressure -

a risk factor for heart attacks and stroke.

4. Couples who smoke are more likely to have

fertility problems than couples who are non-smokers.

5. Smoking worsens asthma and counteracts

asthma medication by worsening the inflammation of the

airways that the medicine tries to ease.

6. Smoking stains your teeth and gums.

7. Smoking causes an acid taste in the mouth

and contributes to the development of ulcers.

8.Smoking also affects your looks:

smokers have paler skin and more wrinkles.

This is because smoking reduces the blood supply

to the skin and lowers levels of vitamin A.

and the list goes on and on..

You could even Google for pictures

of the diseases..

I wouldn't want to put the pictures here,

it'll damage my blog's image >.<

Plus, you're not only giving

the diseases to yourself

You're actually endangering

others around you..

More accurately,

The smoke are more harmful

to the people around the smoker

rather than the smoker himself..

Those around the smoker inhale

what is known as "second-hand smoke" -

the unfiltered, poisonous waste that

goes in the air around the smoker.

There are over 4,000 chemicals

in cigarette smoke,

over 40 of which are known to cause cancer.

Second-hand smoke causes

or aggravates asthma,

bronchitis, and other respiratory problems,

especially in children.

If you're willing to get these diseases

then, go ahead and knock yourself out

I mean literally :P
