But anyway.... I don't want to use the word "haram" here because you gotta be careful when using that word.

I know what you mean, however this is clearly haram, and not as some people believe only Makruuh. I agree with brother Mizaan, alhamdulilah we have been enlightened on this issue and understood that its haraam now the hard bit is left of leaving it. Remember;


Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding. [Surah Zumar Ayah 18]

And the believers are those who say, upon hearing Allahs command

We hear and obey, our Lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is the final return. [Surah Baqrah Ayah 285]

May Allah make us from these people, Ameen.

I'm personally disinclined to differ with you. But there are people who smoke regularly and assert that it does not harm them in any way; instead, they say, it gives them stamina for work.:?

you what?? if smoking gives you stamina I might as well give up on jogging and go down the street and buy a pack of camels...smoking cant and wont give you stamina its a trick of the mind or something people try to say to justify their actions...smoking shouldnt be called makrooh by some scholars there is no benefit whatsoever in it and only harm.......not to mention bad breath smelly clothes and yellow teeth.....
 
Assalam alaikum, i agree smoking is bad but if we use your analogy then eating fast food is also haram because it is bad for the health? Fast food have alot of trans fat which causes obesity and some say link 2 tumours.

oh and i eat loads of fast food but work out in accordance and im fine but a smoker however can not reverse the damage at all!! there is no way of balancing smoking with anything where as fast food with some good exercise can be balanced
 
i dont understand why somebody would smoke in the first place.........i dont see any benefit of it.
 
Oh and i also forgot, and if we use your analogy about smoking then we can also say lack of sleep is also haram because new study shows, Sleep deprivation as bad as alcohol impairment.

Im will have to disagree that smoking is %100 haram, i myself dont know if it is or not, but your arguements on why it is haram is what i disagree with.

my analogy you have confused bro......im saying tht there is only harm in it and no benefit at all ..all your examples have some sort of benefit in them
 
besides harming yourself by not sleeping and all that intentionally is prohibited by the quraan

What benefits do you get from Sleep Deprivation? and some people smoke because they have too much stress and helps them relax, that is one benefit (From a non Health view point). Srry i would like to clear I dont like smoking and i just commenting on the explanation why it is haram
 
AsalamuAlaykum,

I believe that smoking is a bad thing, and pray that Allah helps muslim smokers to quite. inshaAllah

Anyways bro,

wa laa tuhliku bi aydikum ilaat tahluka (surah baqara 2nd juz)

can i have a translation, if possible Jazakhala'khair

WalaykumSalaam.

I dont think people want to have sleep deprivation, and im sure not everyone does it intentionally. So if smoking is haram than so is sleep deprivation (not intentionally?)

smoking helps you relive stress..hmm...thats a mental game ... well you can try asking a few arab scholars they will say its haraam point blank because of the quraan ayat which means to some extent do not bring harm to yourself with your own hands and thats exactly what your doing with smoking.....sleep deprivation will be like a person will stay awake crazy hours to make some money...benefit earned is he made some extra cash........also smoking is wasting of money which is known as extravagance...and it harms others around you..makes you stink...causing people to go through hardships due to the smell........

Btw there are no benefits for certain fast foods. When i say fast food i dont mean subway, im talking about Mcdonalds and Burger King. There are no benefits it harms yourself in the long run with Chronic Illness, diabeties and obesity. which benefit of fast food are you talking about? so eating n e kind of burger from mcdonalds is harm to myself. And i agree smoking is really bad, i dont know why people do it. But there has to be a better arguement on why smoking is haram. And brother hafizmo, no matter how you look at sleep deprivation is bringing harm to yourself, doesnt matter if you are making money, that would be an excuse cuz remember according to studies, SLeep deprivation is just as bad as Alcohol impairment. So than according to your analogy, if you are harming yourself but some benefits come out of it, it would b considered lawful? even tho there is more harm than good? and i would also like to point out, sleep deprivation has more costs then benefits.
