Strange Campaign
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, and Most Merciful
The Wise Teachings and the Strange Campaign!
The vivid conscience of the wise people in the world starts at last to emit a great scream calling:
" BAN SMOKING "
Little by little this call preoccupies the exhausted people who have been experienced in Smoking...
The Problem
This awakening against the dangers of smoking is so strange amongst all the evil things that people still commit without being awake of their outcome...
Then, it's bizarre to try to prevent smoking at the same time when alcohol, flesh of pork, gambling and adultery are legally permitted...
This is because the following questions impose themselves:
1- Those wicked-things are not worst than smoking?
2- The consequences of those, Are not as serious as smoking? Or are they less than that?
3- Doesn't Alcohol give rise to many troubles in the society? Isn't it the source of social vice?
The Evidence
So, let medicine count the effects of Alcohol on health! Let medicine count also flesh of pork hurts. Let sociologists count harms of Adultery, The evils of Gambling and also Wine!
The Solution
Humanity should really take into consideration the Tenet that makes People themselves run away from these evil things! The Cult that cleans Hearts before any legislation!
Without doubt Humanity is in need of a wise system of life, that which was revealed to The Last Messenger (PBUH). It's the divine teachings that have been practicable for many centuries, but recently....!?!!!!!!
It's the cure to vice and viruses!
It's: ISLAM!
The wise Guidance
Allah Has declared that The Holy Quran guides to manners which are appropriate for human safety, either in the life of this world or of the hereafter:
" Verily this Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable), and giveth the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward; "(Meanings of Holy Quran:Isra:17/9)
1- Forbidden Food and Drink:
- Dead Animal
- Flesh of Pork
- Blood poured forth
- Wine
Allah said, when He forbade the wicked Things of food and drink:
". Say: "I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine,- for it is an abomination - or, what is impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked, other than Allah.s". But (even so), if a person is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- thy Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. " (Meanings of Holy Quran:Al-An'am:6/145)
And He said:
" Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah. that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Mercifu.l " (Meanings of Holy Quran:Al-Maida:5/3)
2- Forbidden Social vices:
a - Adultery
Allah The Exalted Has said (what means):
" Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)." (Meanings of Holy Quran:Al-Israa/32)
b - Wine and Gambling:
Allah said (what means):
"O ye who believe! intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination of Satan's handiwork: 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?" (Meanings of Holy Quran: Al-Maidah/90-91)
C- Shameful deeds, and Injustice..:
Allah Has said (what means):
" Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition."(Meanings of Holy Quran:An'Nahl:16/90)
