We were talking today in the Halukah after
Fajr.
We were discussing a few things about Tawba,
and then we discussed
the matter
of of smoking.
And,
then the management told me to repeat
after a shot.
I wonder why.
What's the ruling on smoking?
Is it haram? Is it halal? Is it
makru? Is it mustahab?
Is
Well, I can guarantee you it's not mustahab.
Okay. Seriously.
When smoking started,
was first introduced
to human beings
around sixties. The Alama scholars gathered to make
a ruling.
So they asked, what does the smoking do?
What does it do to a person?
So the smokers said, you know,
what it does is it gives you a
very bad smell,
and it changes the colors of your fingers
on those days. I don't know if you
remember when the smoking in the beginning, it
was and even though now it still stinks,
but it was horrible in the beginning.
So they said it's it makes a very
bad smell.
So
the scholars gathered. And as we know in
in in our deen, there's something called Qiyas.
They look at something in the past because
there was no smoking. So they look at
something in the past at the time Rasool
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and they compare it. Okay.
So they looked, what does make smell that
Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam made a hadith
about? Garlic and onion coming to the masjid.
Right? So they said, Rasool said, makruh
to eat garlic or onion and come to
the Masjid, and this makes a smell because
of the smell it bothers the angels and
bothers your neighbor.
So they said
smoking is Makruah.
Now of course there are people till 20
24 stuck to the fatwa of 1960. They
love it.
Makruah.
When
the
manufacturers
themselves,
not out of love to human beings,
out of being forced by the government,
they started putting themselves
on the box. What do they put?
Smoking kills.
Allahu Akbar.
Smoking
kills
on the box, and it's not in a
small letter in the corner. It's a huge
big bold letters,
smoking kills.
Now,
the ruling has to change. Right?
Since they found out that it's actually kills,
it's the main cause of cancer,
the guy who was, for the young guys,
they do not remember that, but the Marlboro
guy died out of cancer.
The the Marlboro guy who used to promote
the smoking, he died out of lung cancer.
SubhanAllah.
So they changed the ruling. They said this
is kills. And Allah and Surat Al Nisa,
he said,
Do not kill yourself.
Right? Do not kill yourself.
It means do not commit suicide, and at
the same time do not kill yourself gradually.
Right? Because that smoking, it's just like you're
taking a drop of poison until it affects
and kills you. So the ruling has changed
from Makruh to become Haram.
Haram, officially
haram.
Plus
there are many Dalil from the Quran that,
smoking is haram.
This was Lataktulunfusakum
is first. 2nd,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said in Surat Al
Arab that he sent Irasul,
yuhil attayedat
wayuharim
al kaba'ith. Allah
sent a messenger that he will make good
things
halal,
and he makes
evil things
kaba'ith.
Now, where do you put smoking?
In the good things bayibaat or achaba'if?
I can I can give you a hint
to make it easier for you where to
put it? Where do people smoke when they
hide?
Where?
In the bathroom. What do you say before
you go to the bathroom?
So in his smoking is from the. It's
from the evil things. Right? And look at
this word, yuharim.
It's the verb from haram.
Right? It's kabeeth. There's no way
any any one of us would stand in
front of Allah, and Allah would ask him,
is smoking tayyb or kabeeth? And he will
dare to say, it is tayyb.
So now of course there are many many
other ayaat, do not waste your money.
The one who waste their money are brothers
with shaitan. And, of course, that's a waste
of money.
With that money per month, you can dig
a well in in India or in in
Bangladesh or in Africa, and
feed and give water to so many people.
So plus the hadith of Rasool Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, very simple straightforward hadith.
Do not cause
harm to others,
and do not do not harm yourself,
and do not cause harm to others. And
we all
know the danger of smoking and the harm,
and the harm of second
hand smoking also. There are so many studies
about that. Suyakhwan,
the ruling on on on smoking is is
haram,
And whomsoever has been tested by this, this,
Musiba,
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give them shifa,
and may Allah help them quit. Because we
do not make make fun of a sinner.
We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to cure
the sinner and help them quit. So please
ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to help you
to quit,
And at the same time,
by the time you quit, do not smoke
next to the masjid.
Please do not smoke in the premises of
the masjid. It's not good. It doesn't look
good in front of the masjid and doesn't
look good in front of our youth who
are leaving the masjid. And finally,
I came with
a solution
for whomsoever is sincerely
willing to quit.
If you really want to quit,
I have
100%
guaranteed
method to quit.
Ready?
Anytime you smoke a cigarette,
you get up, make wudu and pray 2
rakah.
The shaitan will make you quit.
I told it to a brother 7, 8
years ago. He said, Sheikh. I told him,
are you serious? He said, I'm serious. Are
you really serious? He said, I'm serious. I
said, okay.
And I gave him the method. Wallahi, he
went down from 2 packets to 1, then
to 10 cigarettes. And now, alhamdulillah, he quit
because he can't Allah.
Every 5 minutes
to rakah. You know, this is too much.
Subhanallah, the shaitan will make you quit
because
By the way, this is a method in
our deen. Anytime you want to quit something,
say, you know what? If I do it
again, I'm gonna fast 3 days.
I'm gonna give $500,
sadaqah.
By the way, this is another option.
Every cigarette, $20,
sadaqah. You know? SubhanAllah. So that is if
only you are sincere and there's nobody
who really ask Allah Azzawajal sincerely,
you Allah, help me quit, and Allah will
tell him go away.
Impossible.
So may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help us
quit this ugly habit, and may Allah help
our brothers and sisters whoever smoke inshallah. But
still, like I said before, by the time
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala answer you, do not
smoke next to the machine. Assamu 'alaykum wa
