Intoxicant In The Light Of Quran

Intoxicant In The Light Of Quran

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful…

The topic as headed above which I will give the enlightenment on it from the Holy Quran to all of the readers which is the direct and unambiguous commandment from our Lord to all the Muslims, as well to mankind. Islam offers the solution to the problems of alcohol, gambling, surplus of women, racism, narcissism, self conceit and women rights in so much extensive detail that each word can take so many pages to cover, but with the help of Allah Almighty I will touch only Intoxicant which is actually visual epidemic and alarming proportion to mankind quoting an Ayah from The Holy Quran as Allah says:

Surah Al Maeda Ch 5:V 90-91 (O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper)…( Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?)…

These verses if we expound them it clearly say that intoxicants are abominable stuff and as such shun such abominations that ye may prosper, now we know what and what kinds of illegal drugs we have in our midst, for example marijuana, opium, hereon, ganja, charas, cocaine et cetra… But so many of us believe that cigarettes are not the case in it, today I will give some evidence that cigarettes are such worst abominable stuff that they work like cancer and as such they are cancer as they have carcinogens which are the agents that produce cancer but before that I wanted to quote one more Ayah from The Holy Quran which says something effecting to smokers…

Surah Al Baqara Ch:2 V 195 (And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good.)…

This Ayah from the Holy Quran is the cocksureness that do not make your own hands contribute to your destruction, now I say apply this to anything which causes you to die or annihilation even the lay man would know that what are the side effects and aftermath of cigarettes and nicotine. I am giving some excerpts from my researches which are done by different researchers. Hope so it will change some people’s perception to this satanic stuff and the system which stops you going into the gutter or destruction is the better system which allows you to go in and Islam is only the system which stops you before going to gutter instead of getting salvaged, extricated and reformed as “prevention is better than cure”.

BUTT TEST

“Americans inhale more cancer-causing agents with their cigarettes, probably because of the tobacco blend, while smokers in Canada, Britain and Australia get less, U.S. researchers reported”

"We know that cigarettes from around the world vary in their ingredients and the way they are produced," said Dr. Jim Pirkle of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who heads a lab using a mass spectrometer to measure levels of chemicals in people's bodies.

"All of these cigarettes contain harmful levels of carcinogens, but these findings show that amounts of tobacco-specific nitrosamines differ from country to country, and U.S. brands are the highest in the study," Pirkle said in a statement.

These three quotations are not mine but are the excerpts which are extracted from the news “US health” in which we came to know that what cigarette really are…? These multi international companies they don’t care at all your die or live, and think what quality do we have in PAKISTAN??? I left to your imagination. So many people do believe that cigarettes are good for the removal of the sadness and departure of the worries but 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.

Below is another excerpt a research from JPMC as directed to Pakistan’s narcotic system.

Smoking in Karachi girls schools rises Updated at: 0951 PST,  Wednesday, June 02, 2010
KARACHI: Prof Nadeem Rizvi Head of Chest Diseases Jinnah Postgraduate Medical (JPMC ) and President Pakistan Chest Society has said that according to a recent research, smoking in girls schools of Karachi has risen to 16%.

He said this while addressing a press conference here. Prof Rizvi drew attention to the harmful effects of tobacco marketing that is targeted towards women and girls.

Women are a major target of opportunity for the tobacco industry, which needs to recruit new users to replace the nearly half of current users who will die prematurely from tobacco-related diseases.

He demanded that all forms of direct or indirect marketing of tobacco products must be banned. How can we allow promotion of a product which is responsible for 100,000 deaths annually in the country, questioned Prof Rizvi.

Prof Javaid Khan official of National Alliance for Tobacco Control and Head Section of Chest Diseases at AKUH said that all doctors are morally bound to educating the public on health related issues.

”Research shows that even a brief three-minute advice by doctors on quitting smoking brings about significant results. It was unfortunate.”

He said that tobacco use in the form of gutka and pan masala is on the rise, especially among children, resulting in increasing incidents of head, neck and mouth cancers. ”Pakistan currently tops the global list in oral cancer,” he said.

Citing another research on Shisha use, Khan said that over 50% of university students in Karachi were found to consume tobacco in this form. An hour of Shisha use was equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes, he warned.

Dr Shahina General Secretary of Pakistan Chest Society and Consultant of Ojha Institute of Chest Diseases said that around 1500 young people take up smoking everyday, helped by aggressive marketing by tobacco companies. Dr Shahina said that city governments need to initiate an education campaign on tobacco and its hazards in schools and colleges.

NOTE AND CONCLUSION (All dear readers it is very shameful for us after knowing the truth and perpetually doing the same thing as Allah says in The Holy Quran “THEY SEE, THEY SEE NOT, THEY HEAR, THEY HEAR NOT, NEITHER DO THEY UNDERSTAND, and DUMB, DEAF, BLIND WILL NEVER RETURN TO PATH”.
