Is Smoking Allowed in Islam? why?

Islamic scholars have historically had mixed views about tobacco, and until recently, there has not been a clear, unanimous fatwa (legal opinion) to allow or forbid cigarette smoking.

However, there are many instances where the Qur'an gives us general guidelines, and calls upon us to use our reason and intelligence, and seek guidance from Allah about what is right and wrong. Islamic scholars use their knowledge and judgment to make new legal rulings (fatwa). In the Qur'an, Allah says, “...he [the Prophet] commands them what is just, and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good, and prohibits them from what is bad..." (Qur'an 7:157).

In more recent times, as the dangers of tobacco use have come to be proven beyond any doubt, scholars have become more unanimous in pronouncing tobacco use clearly haram (forbidden) to believers. They now use the strongest terms to condemn this habit. Here is a clear example:

"In view of the harm caused by
tobacco, growing, trading in and
smoking of tobacco are judged to
be haram (forbidden). The Prophet, peace be upon him, is reported to have said, 'Do not harm yourselves or others.'
Furthermore, tobacco is unwholesome, and God says in the Qur'an that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 'enjoins upon them that which is good and pure, and forbids them that which is unwholesome'"

ADAM SIZE SKELETON REVEALED

Giant human skeleton found in Saudi Arabia
By Saalim Alvi from Riyadh Apr 22, 2004, 12:04 Recently gas exploration is going in the desert of south east region of Saudi Arabia . This desert region is called Empty Quarter , which means in Arabic "RAB - UL -KHAALEE"; this body has been found by ARAMCO exploration team. This proves what Allah SWT said in QURAN about the people of AAD nation and HOOD nation.


They were so tall, wide and very power full that they were able to pull out big trees just with the one hand. But what happen after when they become misguided and disobeys Allah SWT, Allah SWT destroyed the whole nation. ULEMA KIRAM of Saudi Arabia believes that this body belongs to AAD nation.


Saudi military took over this whole area. And nobody is allowed to go in this region except Saudi ARAMCO personnel's. Saudi government has kept it very secret but some military helicopters took pictures from air. And one of them he runs on internet here in Saudi Arabia

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created Adam in His own image with His length of sixty cubits, and as He created him He told him to greet that group, and that was a party of angels sitting there, and listen to the response that they give him, for it would form his greeting and that of his offspring. He then went away and said: Peace be upon you! They (the angels) said: May there be peace upon you and the Mercy of Allah, and they made an addition of" Mercy of Allah". So he who would get into Paradise would get in the form of Adam, his length being sixty cubits, then the people who followed him continued to diminish in size up to this day. (Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 040, Number 6809)"


SUBAHANALLAH !!

Why ISLAM says don't Smoke?

‎"Proof of Cigarette being Haram"

Allah says, "And forbid them what is bad." - (Surah Al-'Araf, 7:157)

"O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling are an abomination of Satan's handiwork. Eschew such abominations that ye may prosper." - (Surah Al Ma'idah, 5:93)

"And slay not the life which Allah hath forbidden..." - (Surah, Al-Isra, 17:33)

"And make not your own hands contribute to your destruction." - (Surah, Al-Baqara, 2:195)

"Nor kill or destroy yourselves for verily Allah hath been to you most Merciful." (Surah, An-Nisa, 4:29)

Prophet Mohammed (peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Nor be hurt or injure others."

It is scientifically proven that the exhaled smoke of the smoker is hazardous to non-smokers around him.

Breathing of smoke caused by someone else is known as "passive smoking". It is also known as involuntary smoking or second hand smoking. Approximately 50,000 non smoker deaths from heart related issues can be linked to passive smoking each year.

Allah says: "But squander not your wealth in the manner of a spend thrift, verily spendthrifts are brothers of evils." - (Surah, Al-Isra, 17:26, 27)

The amount of money a smoker spends on cigarette smoking in a period of 30 years is calculated to be Two Hundred Thousand Dollars or more. All this money is simply wasted (not including the money spent on smoker's health care).

Suggestion: Quit this evil act, repent to Allah and do not stay around such friends;

The Qur'an informs us that on the Day of Judgment there will be people who will bite their hands in regret that they were lead astray because of choosing wrong people as their friends, they would say;

"Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this Qur'an) after it had come to me.' (The Glorious Qur'an 25: 27)

Therefore; Smoking is absolutely Haram, and Allah knows best

" Any good is from Allah & the mistakes were from myself "

Knee Ligament Injuries May be More Common in Men

Men have a greater number of knee ligament injuries than women, despite research suggesting that women's knees are more prone to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and surgeries to fix them, according to a Swedish study.

The report, published in the American Journal of Sports medicine, counted the injuries across the entire Swedish population, not just among players of particular sports or in certain regions.

The ACL is the key stabilizing ligament in the knee, and is most often injured during sports that involve quick turns or pivoting movements, such as basketball, soccer and skiing. It has been estimated that 80,000 cruciate ligament injuries - the majority of them ACL - take place in the United States every year, with almost half surgically repaired.

"I think the difference is that earlier studies studied at-risk populations," said Richard Nordenvall, of Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden.

"In those studies, women are more prone to get injured. The difference with this study is that we studied the general population."

Nordenvall and his colleagues used a nationwide database of patients to see how many Swedes had knee ligament injuries and how many had surgical repairs between 2002 and 2009.

Overall, 56,659 people in Sweden tore a knee ligament during the study period. The researchers say that works out to an average of 78 tears for every 100,000 Swedish citizens.

Men accounted for about 34,000 of the tears, or 60 percent. Men also had 59 percent of the reconstructive surgeries associated with knee ligament injuries.

Swedish women tended to experience ACL injuries at a younger age - between the ages of 11 and 20, versus 21 to 30 for men.

When Nordenvall and his colleagues looked just at the age groups with the highest injury rates, men still had far more knee troubles. The numbers worked out to about 144 tears per 100,000 women between 11 and 20 years old, and 225 tears per 100,0000 men aged 21 to 30.

Darin Padua, director of the Sports Medicine Research Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said he was not surprised by the findings.

No one can say for certain why women seem to tear their knee ligaments earlier in life compared to men, Padua said, but it probably has to do with the body's development and movement patterns.

"It's a common injury and it's more common than what has been thought of earlier," Nordenvall said.

Padua echoed this, adding that it helps to show that both men and women should be taking part in injury prevention programs.

My Favorite Water Fall

The majestic wonder of the powerful waterfall is the centerpiece of the Park and proudly boasts being one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Kaieteur Falls is undoubtedly the crown jewel of Guyana's interior. Its thunder can be heard long before visitors glimpse this magnificent cascade. The Potaro River runs through the park falling over the Kaieteur escarpment to form the Kaieteur Falls. The Falls has a sheer drop of 226 meters (741 feet), a total height of 251 meters (822 feet), and during the rainy season, a width of 122 meters.  More than 136,200 liters of tannin-stained water, per second, shrouded in mist and pierced by rainbows, crash to the bottom of the rocky but lush gorge.  Kaieteur is one of the highest, and the most spectacular, and powerful waterfalls in the world.
