"And of them there are some who listen to you; but We have set veils on
their hearts, so they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they
see every one of the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) they will not believe therein; to the point that when they
come to you to argue with you, the disbelievers say: "These are nothing
but tales of the men of old."
"Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they
are closed from accepting Allah's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a
covering. Theirs will be a great torment."
"And they say: "Our hearts are under coverings (screened) from that
to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is
a screen, so work you (on your way); verily, we are working (on our way)."
Message to All:
My Muslim brothers why do we not follow the footsteps of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad (may peace & blessings of Allah be upon him)?. Why do we not live
our life as prescribed by him? Why do we argue over religion? Why don't we
realize that this world is nothing but a mere test for us?, Why do we have to
insult the person who tries to talk us into religion? Why do we indulge
ourselves in wasteful activities that were disliked by our beloved Prophet Muhammad
(peace & Blessings of Allah be upon Him)?
It's high time! and the end of time is very near open your eyes and look around
you, open your ears and listen to the right word, open your heart and
understand everything, Don't fall into the trap set by 'Satan'
Repent Towards your Lord, seek forgiveness, Cry out to him ' O Allah ' &
Surely He will answer you and forgive you.
May Allah (s.w.t) enable us to follow the right path by His Grace Ameen!
“And We will surely test you with
something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but
give good tidings to the patient”
Death of Beloved Ones
If one suffers death of someone whom he dearly loved, then he should remember
that our children, spouses, parents, friends, and other family members are but
trusts from Allah (s.w.t). A wife is a trust to her husband while her husband
is a trust to her. A child is a trust to his/her parents while the parents are
a trust to the child. As these trusts provide us with comfort and support,
Allah (s.w.t) tests us to see how we deal with them and how we take care of
these trusts. He reserves the right to take back these trusts, and He does so
when the term He sets for a trust expires. The Prophet (peace be upon him)
consoled his daughter when her baby was sick as saying:
“Whatever Allah takes away or gives, belongs to Him, and everything has a fixed
term (in this world)”. (Sahih
Al-Bukhari & Sahih Al-Muslim)
Therefore, one should not show
despair or displeasure at Allah (swt) but remain calm and patient even at the
death of his or her dearest one.
It’s natural to go down in the
dumps over a death of your loved one, however we need to have control over ourselves,
Islam tells us that we muslims should never lose faith in Allah (s.w.t). If
there is a difficult moment in life then instead of weeping over it all our
life we should turn our attention towards Allah (s.w.t) and start praying
more than before, Surely Allah (s.w.t) will give us the strength to overcome our sadness. We muslims start crying over almost every loss that we have to
face, we should always remember that
this world belongs to Allah (s.w.t) and whatever happens it’s as per Allah’s
will and whatever Our Lord has decided for us it’s for our own good we just
need to have a strong faith. This world is merely a test for us.
True believers have nothing to fear in the valley of death; they
have nothing to fear in the grave; they have nothing to fear in the world
beyond.
(Sahih Al-Bukhari)
Volume 7, Book 70, Number 545:
Narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "No fatigue, nor
disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even
if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of
his sins for that."
(Sahih
Al-Bukhari)
Volume 7, Book 70, Number 550:
Narrated
by 'Abdullah:
I
visited the Prophet during his ailments and he was suffering from a high fever.
I said, "You have a high fever. Is it because you will have a double
reward for it?" He said, "Yes, for no Muslim is afflicted with any
harm but that Allah will remove his sins as the leaves of a tree fall
down."
Muslims are smoking all kinds of drugs making their own
hands the cause of their own destruction.
They waste so much money on cigarettes. However if you tell him to spend
this money for the sake of Allah (s.w.t) he would not do it, if you burn his
Rs.50 note he would start fighting with you and tell the world how crazy you
are. On the other hand he would pay Rs.50 to kill himself by buying a pack of
cigarettes. He would smoke and stink up the place and harm all the Muslims
around him. So cigarettes and smoking becomes something which the youth are
obsessed about they think that they look cool while smoking. You only look cool
if you have a miswak in your mouth because it purifies your mouth whereas
cigarette is leading to mouth cancer (it’s only sluggish manner of dying).
Miswak is a Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) and Cigarette is an
intoxicant.
Some of those who pretend to represent the religion are
among the worst addicts to smoking. When they are told that smoking is Haram,
they give lame excuse that there is no direct word in Qur’an or Hadith which
prohibits smoking. Therefore, they conclude, smoking is not prohibited, but is
only makruh (disliked). By doing so they provide a poor excuse for the
ignorant, and establish a very bad example for others.
Many Muslims have been influenced by such statements,
falling into the snares of addiction to smoking. Instead of being Allah's
slave, a smoker becomes slave to his cigarette. He develops a weaker control of
his sense and reason.
The whole world now knows that the money spent on smoking is
to be considered as money wasted, from which no benefit is gained; indeed, it
is money spent on something harmful. If the money which is spent on smoking
worldwide were to be collected, it could have saved entire populations who have
died of starvation. Is there anyone more foolish than the one who holds a
dollar bill and sets fire to it? What is the difference between him and the one
who smokes? Indeed, the smoker is more foolish, because the folly of the one
who burns a dollar bill ends there, whilst the one who smokes burns his money
and also harms his body.
If stress is haunting you down then smoking is surely not
the answer to your problems, turn towards your Lord ask for His forgiveness, His mercy and seek
help only from Him ,for there is no one else
on this planet who can help and there is nothing in this world that can
guide you but Qur’an. Read Qur’an and
keep praying to Allah and you won’t be stressed anymore instead you will
realize that all you actually do care for is The Last Day and that your stay in
this world is very short.
If you still cannot decide then just imagine if Satan stands
on your left and our Beloved Prophet (s.aw) on the right while you have a
cigarette in your hand. What would each of them tell you to do?
Smoking is nothing but a slow poison 'SMOKING KILLS'
According to Qur'an and Hadith (The saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) all intoxicants are 'haram' whereas tobacco is an intoxicating substance.
Intoxicants in the light of Qur'an:
(Surah Al-Baqarah Ch:2 V:195)
وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ
"Dont make your own hands the cause of your own destruction"
(Islam prohibits "tobacco" in any form which makes smoking haram however people still argue over it and will normally start saying that ‘Pan’ and ‘Pepsi’ etc are also not good for health so they are or can be haram as well. hence we should avoid them, but where Islam is concerned IF and only IF PAN contains "Tobacco" then its haram else u may have it (still not having is preferred) it’s NOT HARAM. However by smoking cigarette or sheesha we are making our own hands the cause of our own destruction).
“O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.”
(Tobacco causes Physical, Intellectual, and Moral Effects on the Human System "Tobacco, moreover is of itself, an intoxicating substance.")
(Surah Al-Balad Ch:90 V:10)
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
“And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways”
(Allah (s.w.t) has given us the right to choose our own path, whichever path we chose He makes that path easier for us. So choose the right one which leads to righteousness so you can have Allah’s mercy and countless blessings.)
(Surah An-Nisa’ Ch:4 V:29)
وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ
“And do not kill yourselves”
(“Smoking Kills” it’s even written on every cigarette pack, and we all know it still we argue that smoking is not haramAccording to world health organization (WHO) there are more than a million people who die only because of smoking . 90% of people who die from lung cancer is due to smoking. )
“And makes lawful to them the good things and makes unlawful to them impure things”
(We are all aware of the unlawful things. and cigarette is impure as it causes several diseases which are mentioned again and again, it contains nicotine which is nothing more but a poison,so it’s time we should all agree to the fact that smoking is unlawful . Fear Allah (s.w.t) and ask for His mercy and guidance surely if you do so with a firm belief He The Lord of the Worlds will help you in every step you take towards him.)
“And do not spend wastefully, Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.”
(Smoking is a waste of money, a smoker burns his wealth for no good reason plus it’s harmful to the body and there is no difference between the person who’s smoking and the person who commits suicide.)
“Those who strive hard in Our Cause, We will surely guide them to Our Paths.”
(If you have a craving to smoke then you have to seek Allah’s help in order to quit smoking. If you pray to Allah (s.w.t) for His help and then make sincere efforts to give up smoking, then Allah (s.w.t) will help you .but one should have a very strong belief that Allah (s.w.t) will surely help him, and remember nothing is easy, one needs to be strong.)
“And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression”
(The prohibition of smoking is not restricted to consuming it, but applies as well to offering it to people, sitting with those who are smoking, or selling it. All of this involves helping people commit sins, which is prohibited)
“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."
(Even medical science has rejected outright the myth that smoking calms the nerves. So many people who do believe that cigarettes are good for the removal of the sadness and departure of the worries should know that it’s not true. Now almost all the scientists expunged this idea and concluded to the fact that cigarettes are actually causing a person to get tensed instead of healed. However what we Muslims know for sure is that the remembrance of Allah is the only healing power, for there is no one to guide us better then Allah (s.w.t))
“And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].”
(Rely on Allah sincerely, with full determination not to return to smoking ever, if one has a strong faith and Trust in Allah (s.w.t) then Allah will surely guide him to the right path and he will be able to give up this evil habit for good.)
“And do not make [your oath by] Allah an excuse against being righteous and fearing Allah and making peace among people.
(We should fear Allah (s.w.t) at all times and do as commanded, however if we are smoking we are disobeying Allah (s.w.t). So do we fear Allah (s.w.t) then? We should be ashamed of ourselves and ask forgiveness and quit smoking as Allah (s.w.t) is ‘The Most Merciful & The Most Beneficent’)
“They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear.”
(Almost all smokers give lame excuses that smoking is not haram it’s very disgraceful that we are well aware of the fact that smoking is haram and still we keep on doing the same thing.)
“Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason.”
(If such people hear the Qur'an, they will not understand it. By doing so, they will be like animals, which have no minds, or even worse. So if there is even a tiny chance of something being haram we should simply stay away from it.)
(Surah An-Nisa’ Ch:4 V:59)
أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ
“Obey Allah and obey the Messenger”
(A Muslim can’t deny the Hadith of The Prophet (s.a.w). He has been instructed to do so by Allah (s.w.t) Himself. If we don’t agree with Hadith then we are not Muslims since a Muslim testifies that ‘There is no god but Allah And Muhammad (s.a.w) is His Messenger’ by believing in Qur’an but not the Hadith of the Prophet (s.a.w) we only ‘Testify that there is no god but Allah’ whereas we don’t testify that Muhammed (s.a.w) is His messenger. A Muslim needs to follow the teachings of Allah’s Messenger as commanded.)
“The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong”
(A faithful friend will only encourage you to do what is right and prevent you from doing any evil act. The one who offer you cigarette is encouraging you to do an evil act clearly he doesn’t care about your health or future.)
“Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe”
(Numerous times when someone tries to warn that ‘smoking kills’ smokers get annoyed and end up making fun of that person. They should fear Allah for their heart is sealed and they have been blinded.)
“Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater” (Start praying ‘five’ times a day as prescribed by our beloved Prophet (s.a.w) as Prayer keeps you away from all kinds of evil acts.)
