Smoking: A Social Poison

Enter Into Islam Completely #2

by Muhammad Mustafa al-Jibaly

This book is part two of the "Enter into Islam... Completely" series and deals with the authentic Sunnah regarding smoking.

This book deals with the epidemic of smoking, which has entered into the houses of the Muslims in a most devastating manner. What makes this problem even worse is than many of the Muslims do not see or admit to the prohibition of smoking and its great danger.

Rather, when they are advised about it, they quickly echo a thing they heard from so-called scholars: "But it is not prohibited - it is only disliked!" This necessitates providing some advice to those people who seek the truth but have only heard the wrong views of the shallow minded. It is important to present a clear picture of smoking, and a detailed reasoning for its prohibition.

concise and well-explained document as to why smoking is prohibited, helpful to reflect on and return to as someone who was a smoker before i became muslim and now, a year later, am trying to quit. great points on how smokers submit to their desire for cigarettes as opposed to the rulings of Allah SWT.
