My Personal Thoughts
While walking back from university yesterday, I saw a teenager standing near a shop, lighting up a cigarette. It was painful to watch He looked hardly 17 or 18 It made me wonder Why are so many people still falling into this trap, even after knowing its deadly effects?
What Does a Cigarette rEally Do?
A cigarette might look small, but it contains over 7,000 harmful chemicals, Including
• Nicotine causes addiction
• Tar damages lungs
• Carbon Monoxide reduces oxygen in the blood.
• Arsenic & Ammonia found in poisons and cleaners.
Even one cigarette slowly poisons the body. And over time, it leads to:
• Lung cancer
• Heart diseases
• Stroke
• Breathing problems
• Premature death
Emotional and Financial Damage
Smoking doesn’t just hurt the smoker it hurts families.
• Children grow up seeing their elders smoke.
• Wives suffer watching their husbands destroy their health.
• Hard-earned money is burned away literally!
Many smokers spend thousands of rupees/dollars every month, just to slowly kill themselves.
Islamic Perspective
From an Islamic point of view, smoking is not only harmful it is haram (forbidden) according to many scholars.
Why?
Because Allah says in the Qur’an:
“Do not throw yourselves into destruction with your own hands.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:195)
Islam protects the body and mind smoking harms both So how can it be allowed?
Hope and Encouragement
If you smoke, don’t lose hope. Thousands of people have quit you can too.
Take one step at a time:
• Reduce gradually.
• Replace the habit with something healthy like exercise.
• Get support from family or friends.
• Most importantly: Make sincere dua to Allah for strength and willpower.
