They are amongst us; as family members, as friends, as sibling, as parents, as children.
Beware! since these assassins attempt to victimize themselves and those around them to a slow painful death.
Personally they are perfectly normal humans, with no wish to inflict damage to their near and dear ones.
But they choose to embrace a dis-ease which is like a slow-mo suicide.
The affecting effect is long-term, with long-reach & is devastating.
Even people of high intellect get infected to it by choice, and in doing so prove that education, knowledge & intelligence can't rid one of stupidity.
Do you recognize them?
These are the people puffing n coughing deadly smoke out of their mouths every now n then, hurting themselves & people around them through passive smoking, knowing its hazards all along; .. these are the cigarette addicts, commonly called the (active) Smokers.
A smoker is guilty of several accounts, a few are listed like so:
- Life and health is trusted from Allah to humans, taking care of it is a duty. A smoker ignores this duty.
- Smoking is slow suicide which is forbidden in Islam.
- Smoking is an addiction which is forbidden in Islam
- Smoking is a waste of time.
- Spending money on smoking is a waste of money; 'israaf'.
- A smoker ignores the warning given by people around him, and on the cigarette packs, and therefore holds complete responsibility for his actions.
- A smoker is a threat to the life of his wife and lil children.
- A smoker is a threat to his friends and colleagues.
- A smoker has a foul smelling mouth which causes discomfort to Allah's creatures while praying in congregation.
- A smoker is a potential fire hazard.
- A smoker is harmful to nature around him, such as, plants, birds etc.
May Allah rid all the smokers of their addiction.
Amin.
