Smoking

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Let there be no harming, nor reciprocating harm.” [Sahih - Ibn Majah]   The meaning of this hadith is the prohibition of all forms of harmfulness, great or small, since the grammatical indefinite (of the words “harming” and “reciprocating harm”) in a negative context indicates generality. Thus, harming oneself or any other creature, without reason from the Shariah, is prohibited.   Based on this hadith many contemporary scholars hold it to be unlawful to buy, sell, use, or grow tobacco, because of the unlawfulness of consuming what has been proven to be harmful.  Epidemiological data link smoking and lung disease in the following ways: 1. Up to 50% of smokers may die of smoking-related diseases. 2. Smokers are three times more likely to die in middle age than are non-smokers. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: 1. COPD is very rare in non-smokers. 2. 90% of deaths from COPD are attributed to smoking. 3. 98% of people wi...

Muhammad (S.A.W.W) is the Last Prophet

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "I have been favoured above the prophets in six things: I have been endowed with consummate succinctness of speech, made triumphant through dread, war booty has been made lawful for me, the whole earth has been made a purified place of worship for me, I have been sent to all created beings, and the succession of prophets has been completed in me." [Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah] Some unique favours to Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and his Ummah have been brought to our attention in the above mentioned hadith. One of these is that Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) was sent with a timeless message; a religion that would not be superseded by any other. Therefore, the religion brought by Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) will apply equally to any generation till the end of this world. In addition, Islam came for all created beings, not only humans. This is another uniqueness of the message sent to Muhammad (sal Allahu al...

The Beautician of Firawn’s Daughter

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “When I was taken towards the heavens I got a very pleasant odour. I asked Jibril about it and he said that it was the odour of the beautician of the daughter of Firawn and her children. I asked him to tell me more about them and he said, 'One day she was engaged in the routine task of beautifying the daughter of Firawn when the comb fell from her hands. While picking it up she said, ‘Bismillah’ (In the Name of Allah). Firawn’s daughter asked her if she referred to her father when she called the name of Allah. She replied, ‘No! But my and your father’s Lord is only Allah!’ The girl asked, ‘Shall I reveal what you say (to Firawn)?’ She replied that she may tell him if she liked. So, she revealed it to her father, Firawn, who summoned the beautician and asked, ‘Do you have any other Lord besides me?’ She answered, ‘Yes, my and your Lord is Allah.’ Firawn had a fire kindled and a brass cow-shaped vessel was heated over it.
