Why Do You Smoke ?: A discussion with our smoking brothers regarding the
prohibition of smoking. Smoking is a dangerous epidemic and a
destructive adversity that catches many people in its trap. Many of them
have live hearts and strong Islamic emotions, yet they are afflicted
with smoking and do not deny its harm, its effects and its prohibition.
They hope to give it up, and strive to get rid of it. Such people have a
right upon their brothers to help them and take their hands to the
shore of safety.
If you ask any smoker why he smokes, you
would receive many different answers. Some people smoke when they need
relief from depression; others smoke to ease the stress of estrangement
from their families. Some people smoke with friends to have fun, while
others smoke to rid themselves of worry and anger. There are those that
smoke to imitate those whom they admire, or perhaps they smoke because
they have been doing it from a young age and cannot stop. You will even
find those who say, “I smoke because it is useful, and I do not believe
it is prohibited.”
These are generally the excuses smokers
give, and based on this, allow me, my dear beloved smoking brothers, to
discuss this issue with you for a short while, and perhaps we will come
to a satisfying conclusion.
Beloved brother! Are you not convinced
that smoking is prohibited and that it has a very bad impact? Don’t you
ever think seriously to permanently give it up? You would possibly say,
“Yes, but I want to become more convinced that it is harmful so that I
can give it up.” I would say to you, please lend me your ear and listen
with your heart to what I am about to say.
