0:55 Brazil In the name of Allah, the Most 1:22 Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace be 1:23 upon you, and Allah's mercy and 1:24 blessings. My dear brothers and sisters 1:26 , may Allah have mercy on you. Let us 1:29 offer our praises to Allah the Almighty 1:33 , by whose grace we are constantly 1:37 blessed with guidance, mercy, and light 1:40 , allowing us to gather here for the 1:44 Health Space program on Rasil for one 1:48 Islam, which is also broadcast by 1:52 various essential radio stations. Yes, 1:57 let us greet our radio partners in 2:00 Semarang, Radio Silaturahim, Radio 2:04 Suara Habibullah in Banyuwangi, Radio 2:08 Almas FM in Magelang, Radio Latan in 2:11 Sukabumi, Radio Silaturahim in 2:14 Yogyakarta, Silaturahim in Bondowoso, 2:18 Radio Sela FM in Batam, Radio Madina in 2:22 Pontianak, and Radio Rasa in Palembang, 2:26 as well as those listening via live 2:30 stream at www.radiosilaturahim.com. You 2:35 can also join us via YouTube and Radio 2:37 Garden. And of course, let us send our 2:41 prayers and peace upon the leader of 2:42 the faithful, our beloved Muhammad, the 2:44 Messenger of Allah, may peace and 2:46 blessings be upon him. God willing, we 2:49 will meet him in the moments we long 2:51 for in the hereafter. Brothers and 2:55 sisters. I don't know, are you a fan of 2:59 that 1x5 or 6 cm object that, somehow, 3:02 has never stopped being used since way 3:06 back when? It's so cool. Cool in what 3:09 way? Just cool, yes. Well, today, after 3:12 a long absence, our guest is here to 3:14 discuss something that some people 3:17 might wonder about. He is Mr. Fuad 3:21 Baraja. Peace be upon you, and Allah's 3:23 mercy and blessings. And peace be upon 3:25 you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. 3:27 Thank you for taking the time to come 3:31 to Rasil to talk about this particular 3:35 object. When you arrived, you asked a 3:37 question: "Are you a smoker?" If so, 3:40 then why? Do you truly love Allah and 3:43 His Messenger? Smokers might feel like 3:45 they've been slapped in the face by 3:47 that question. Is this what we will be 3:50 discussing? 3:50 God willing. 3:51 MasyaAllah. Are you a smoker? How deep 3:55 is your love for Allah and His 3:56 Messenger? Let us listen. With the ears 3:59 of the soul, of course. Please, go 4:01 ahead. 4:02 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious 4:03 , the Most Merciful. Peace be upon you, 4:05 and Allah's mercy and blessings. 4:07 And peace be upon you, and Allah's 4:08 mercy and blessings. 4:09 All praise is to Allah, and peace and 4:10 blessings be upon the Messenger of 4:12 Allah, Muhammad bin Abdillah, and upon 4:13 his family, companions, and followers. 4:15 To proceed. All praise is due only to 4:18 Allah, who grants us health, and so 4:22 many other blessings that we could 4:24 never count one by one. As Allah states 4:28 , if you try to count the blessings of 4:30 Allah, you will never be able to 4:32 enumerate them. One of them is the 4:35 blessing of health. The blessing of 4:38 health is one of two blessings from 4:40 Allah that are often neglected by 4:42 mankind. Yes, the other one is the 4:46 blessing of free time. Indeed, the 4:49 blessing of health and the blessing of 4:50 free time are two of Allah's favors 4:52 that are often neglected by man. God 4:54 willing, we are not among those who 4:56 neglect these two blessings. Because 4:58 with health, we can live our lives well 5:02 . And we can perform our acts of 5:04 worship properly. The blessing of free 5:07 time, yes. If we are too busy dealing 5:09 with the world, when will we take care 5:11 of the hereafter? God willing, we 5:13 belong to those who remain mindful and 5:15 grateful for these immense blessings 5:16 from Allah. Yes. Very well, may prayers 5:20 and peace also always be bestowed upon 5:22 our liege, the Great Prophet Muhammad 5:23 sallallahu alaihi wasallam, the last of 5:25 the prophets and leader of the 5:26 messengers. Let's get straight to it so 5:30 we don't have too much of a prologue, 5:31 Ms. Nuning. Essentially, if you heard 5:34 earlier, Ms. Nuning read the title: " 5:37 You are a smoker, then do you love 5:39 Allah and His Messenger?" Of course, 5:42 this is not just for those who smoke. 5:44 We all, God willing, love Allah and His 5:46 Messenger. It is just that we are 5:47 discussing the issue of smoking. The 5:50 connection is this. A person who loves 5:55 Allah and His Messenger will certainly 5:58 do anything to gain the pleasure of 6:03 Allah. Allah is pleased, God willing, 6:09 with people who strive to provide the 6:11 best in their worship. Because as I 6:16 often say, regarding the verse 6:18 frequently recited, "Wa ma khalaqtul 6:21 jinna wal insa illa liya'budun." 6:24 Meaning, "And I did not create the jinn 6:26 and mankind except to worship Me." Now, 6:29 this form of worship involves many 6:32 things taught by the Messenger, such as 6:35 prayer, fasting, zakat, pilgrimage, and 6:39 so on; these are forms of purely ritual 6:42 worship. However, it is not just that; 6:48 everything we do lillahi ta'ala, which 6:52 we intend for Allah, is an act of 6:55 worship. A simple example. If you see a 7:00 nail in the road, in the middle of the 7:02 road, and you remove that nail. That is 7:04 one form of worship. It would certainly 7:08 be very narrow-minded if worship were 7:10 defined only as prayer, fasting, zakat, 7:12 and pilgrimage. Yes, very narrow. But 7:14 everything we do is this—if we intend 7:18 it for Allah, lillahi ta'ala, then it 7:21 is a form of worship. 7:24 Another easy example is marriage. 7:27 Marriage is the longest form of worship 7:30 ; throughout our lives, we are 7:33 worshipping through marriage. By 7:37 marrying, we provide for our wives and 7:40 children. We provide for our families. 7:43 That is an act of worship, and it has 7:45 no end until we die. And when we pass 7:49 away later, if we leave behind good 7:51 children because we intended everything 7:53 for Allah, then Allah will record that 7:55 as a continuous charity. Children who 7:59 pray for us and the knowledge we have 8:01 taught our children and others, all of 8:03 that is a form of continuous charity 8:05 whose rewards, God willing, flow even 8:07 after we have passed. 8:08 Amen. 8:09 And the connection to the love for 8:12 Allah is this. One thing taught by the 8:17 Messenger is that we make sacrifices. 8:21 This sacrifice (qurban) is a very noble 8:23 teaching. Yes, qurban comes from the 8:28 word qoraba yaqrobu. Meaning yataqarrab 8:32 , becoming a form of drawing closer to 8:35 Allah. Qurbanan. Perhaps if linked to 8:38 the Indonesian language, the difference 8:40 is vast. "Korban" means victim. Yes, if 8:44 qurban is read with an 'O' versus a 'U' 8:47 , it is different. "Kurban" with a U 8:50 refers to a victim of an accident, a 8:52 murder, and so on. But "kurban" with an 8:55 O, even though spelled similarly, is a 8:58 way of drawing closer to God. Actually, 9:02 in the original Arabic, it is more 9:05 precisely our way of drawing closer to 9:08 God by sacrificing what we own and love 9:12 . One way is by performing a sacrifice 9:14 during the Eid al-Adha holiday. We 9:17 slaughter a goat, or a cow, or even a 9:20 camel if it’s available or if we are 9:23 able to afford it. Whatever we 9:26 sacrifice shows how much we love God. 9:31 If we can only afford to sacrifice a 9:33 goat, that is perfectly fine. That is 9:36 already a great form of sacrifice for 9:38 someone who can only afford a goat. But 9:40 there are others who might be more 9:42 capable. For just seven times the price 9:45 of a goat, they can sacrifice a cow. 9:47 Then their love for God is valued as 9:49 more profound, or shall we say? Even 9:52 closer to God. Their love for God is 9:55 even greater. Yes, if someone is able 9:58 to slaughter a camel, then it is even 10:01 greater. Of course, everything must be 10:05 intended for God alone, not for vanity 10:07 or to show off to others. "Look, today 10:10 I am slaughtering 15 goats," for 10:13 example. Hopefully, that is not 10:16 intended for vanity or to be seen by 10:19 people. We must intend it for God alone 10:22 . If we sacrifice 100 goats, it is for 10:25 God alone. If you can only afford a 10:27 goat, then a goat it is. What does this 10:30 have to do with cigarettes? Many of my 10:35 friends and people around me can afford 10:37 to spend the price of a cow on 10:39 cigarettes in a year, yet they cannot 10:42 afford to perform a sacrifice. This is 10:46 truly awful, yes, very poor. If you 10:50 love God, how can you waste so much of 10:54 your money on buying cigarettes? If 10:58 calculated, for instance, a goat costs 11:02 between 2.5 to 3 million rupiah. Yet, 11:07 if the daily cost of cigarettes is, say 11:10 , only 20,000 rupiah. 20,000 a day 11:15 means 600,000 a month. In just 5 months 11:20 . In 5 months, they have 3 million 11:23 rupiah. Meaning, if that money wasn't 11:26 used for cigarettes and was saved 11:28 instead, in 5 months they could afford 11:31 a fairly large goat worth 3 million 11:33 rupiah. Not huge, but a decent size. 11:38 Yet, they can afford to spend enough on 11:42 cigarettes for 3 goats in a year, but 11:45 they cannot afford to sacrifice even a 11:48 single goat. This makes you question 11:53 their love for God. Furthermore, uh... 11:59 there are so many people who are, well, 12:02 addicted. I always say that people 12:04 smoke because they are addicted. 12:07 Everyone in this world smokes because 12:08 they are addicted. Now, if cigarette 12:11 addiction ends up being greater, 12:13 drowning out our love for Allah so that 12:16 we are unable to sacrifice a goat or a 12:19 cow for His sake, then we must question 12:22 how great your love for Allah really is 12:25 . Then, loving Allah and His Messenger 12:30 also means that we obey, that we are 12:33 obedient to Allah and His Messenger. 12:36 Waman yuti'illaha wa rasulahu. There 12:39 are often verses about those who obey 12:41 or follow the commands of Allah and His 12:44 Messenger. Now, Allah's command is 12:46 clear: we are ordered to perform 12:48 sacrifice if we are, of course, capable 12:50 . So, never say you are not capable if 12:52 you can afford to buy cigarettes equal 12:55 to the price of a cow in a year. Never. 12:58 The accountability for this is very 13:01 great, you know. So, calculate the cost 13:03 of your cigarettes per day. Just 13:05 calculate one pack. One pack per day is 13:07 20,000 Rupiah, which is probably the 13:09 cheapest one now. Let's say 20,000 13:11 Rupiah, that means 600,000 Rupiah a 13:12 month. That means in 5 months you are 13:16 able to sacrifice a large goat, or if 13:19 calculated over 1 year, 3 million plus 13:22 3 million, almost 7.5 million or 8 13:25 million Rupiah for one year. You could 13:28 get a cow. Yes. So once again, never 13:32 think that I am sufficient to just 13:34 sacrifice my feelings. Oh, this is 13:36 often joked about, sir. Yes. I 13:39 it's often joked about by people. "Oh, 13:41 I, because I can't afford it, I'll just 13:43 sacrifice my feelings." Sacrifice your 13:46 feelings how? He says he sacrifices his 13:49 feelings because his job is currently 13:52 down, so he is not capable. Meanwhile, 13:55 he's saying that while holding a 13:57 cigarette. Please, let us return to 14:01 introspecting within our own hearts. 14:04 Never. Even though the Prophet has 14:07 stated that the sacrificial animal we 14:09 slaughter for the sake of Allah will 14:11 become our vehicle in the hereafter to 14:13 reach Allah's paradise. If you are 14:17 still far from thinking about the 14:20 hereafter, well once again, I say that 14:26 this life has its limits. The limit of 14:30 life is death. The limit of health is 14:32 sickness. The limit of wealth is 14:34 poverty. There is no one who is always 14:37 healthy, there isn't. Everyone at some 14:40 point will get sick. Now, if this 14:42 illness eventually makes it so he is no 14:44 longer able to worship properly. His 14:46 worship is only prayer while on a bed. 14:49 Even though at an age like his, he 14:51 should still be able to, what do you 14:54 call it? Worship perfectly and well. 14:57 But because of smoking too much, 15:00 eventually stroke, heart disease, and 15:02 so on. This is what we are worried 15:04 about. Don't let us sacrifice our 15:07 hereafter just for our worldly life. 15:11 Once again, we return to our topic, 15:14 which is sacrifice to Allah. 15:16 Sacrificing something that we love. 15:19 Sacrificing something we love means 15:21 this: if we feel we have something 15:23 greater to sacrifice for the sake of 15:25 Allah, why do we sacrifice with 15:27 something small? Yes. Now, for the 15:32 price of just one goat, we can—it 15:35 doesn't have to be too big—what can 15:39 we do? Perform Qurbani for the sake of 15:41 Allah. Don't let the fact that you 15:43 smoke make you unable to perform 15:45 Qurbani. Yes, once again, the 15:47 accountability for this is truly 15:48 massive. Don't ever think that "oh, 15:51 Qurbani is only for people who have 15:54 money." You have the money, and I say 15:57 you have more than enough; why? Because 16:01 you are able to buy cigarettes, in a 16:03 year at least you spend millions, right 16:09 . Let's say 8 million, for instance, 16:12 105 a month, that's around 8 million to 16:14 buy cigarettes. And you say you can't 16:18 afford Qurbani? Inna lillahi wa inna 16:20 ilaihi raji'un. Return to your heart. 16:24 Ask your own heart. Do I truly love 16:27 Allah and His Messenger? Don't ever 16:30 think that Allah won't account for this 16:33 . No. Allah accounts for everything; 16:35 even the smallest things, Allah 16:37 accounts for them. Yes, don't wait 16:40 until you're in the afterlife to feel 16:42 regret. Because the Quran provides so 16:47 many examples of the regrets of those 16:50 who, while they were alive, were unable 16:54 or failed to draw closer to Allah. 16:59 Drawing closer is not just about 17:01 Qurbani; for example, in obeying Allah 17:03 and His Messenger, yet they chose to 17:05 obey their own leaders instead. Yes, 17:08 this is exemplified so many times in 17:10 the Quran through verses that begin 17:13 with "ya laitani." Remember, every time 17:17 you come across a verse while reciting 17:21 or reading the Quran, every time you 17:24 meet a verse starting with "ya laitani" 17:28 or "ya laita," it means "if only I." 17:31 Yes, for example: "ya laitani qaddamtu 17:35 lihayati." If only I had prioritized my 17:39 life for the hereafter rather than the 17:41 life of this world. Then "ya laitani 17:46 kuntu turaba." If only I had been mere 17:50 dust. Because those people, because 17:53 they didn't have the chance or didn't 17:55 do anything useful for their religion 17:58 while alive. So when they die, on the 18:01 Day of Judgment, they will say "ya 18:04 laitani kuntu turaba." Meaning, if only 18:07 I were just dust so I wouldn't have to 18:09 be held accountable; that is impossible 18:12 . Yes. "Ya laitanam fulanan khalila." 18:17 If only I hadn't taken so-and-so as a 18:20 close friend, as a companion, and so on 18:24 . So once again, let's calculate what 18:28 we spend our money on today. If you 18:32 spend so much money on things that are 18:36 secondary or even useless. Remember, if 18:41 you say smoking is beneficial for you, 18:43 it's only because you are already 18:45 addicted. Meaning, once you are 18:47 addicted, you feel you must smoke. If 18:50 you don't smoke, you claim you can't 18:52 work. Exactly. Because you are already 18:54 addicted. But if you don't smoke, you 18:57 can do things normally without needing 18:59 to smoke first. Yes, so once again, God 19:03 willing, this will also motivate you. 19:06 It will motivate you to quit smoking. 19:08 Because, after all, everyone will 19:10 eventually stop smoking. What's the 19:12 difference, Maseng? Quitting smoking 19:15 voluntarily, or being stopped by the 19:17 cigarettes. God willing, we won't be 19:20 stopped, 19:21 due to sickness or death. Right, so 19:24 moving back to the qurbani issue. Once 19:28 again, qurbani is a form of our love 19:31 for Allah. When we have plenty of money 19:33 , we sacrifice more for Allah. A bigger 19:36 cow, or moving from a goat to a larger 19:38 cow. Yes, meaning if you were able to 19:40 sacrifice a goat, once our economy 19:42 improves, we sacrifice a cow. Why not? 19:44 Why not? Yes. Or if you want to go 19:47 bigger, like a camel or others. If we 19:50 want to sacrifice a camel, for instance 19:53 , and maybe it's not available here, we 19:56 can go through foundations that help 19:58 you sacrifice in other countries or 20:01 places. Of course, 20:04 it's best if it's done locally. But if 20:06 you want to sacrifice elsewhere besides 20:10 your own country, you can get in touch 20:14 with foundations that can help us 20:18 sacrifice in other nations, like Yemen, 20:22 Syria, Africa, and so on. There are so 20:26 many options. Well, I think that's all 20:30 for my conclusion this afternoon, Ms. 20:32 Nuning. But we aren't closing the door 20:35 to further developments based on your 20:38 questions. Of course, to remind you 20:41 that qurbani is a form of our love for 20:44 Allah. Don't let it be said that you 20:47 don't love Allah and His Messenger just 20:50 because you can afford cigarettes but 20:52 not a sacrificial animal. 20:55 Mashallah. So even if you can't afford 21:01 a pack, half a pack still adds up to an 21:04 incredible amount. 21:09 But regarding whether it really means 21:12 your love for the Messenger and Allah 21:14 is gone, that feels quite bitter, 21:17 doesn't it? But that's another 21:21 perspective we just heard that might 21:24 open up a new understanding for us. Now 21:29 , as you reflect on that and think, " 21:32 Yeah, that's true," let's watch this 21:35 next segment. We'll be back in your 21:39 living room shortly. Yes. Thank you for 26:06 staying with Rasil. For one Islam, on 26:10 the health program discussing qurbani 26:14 and cigarettes with Fuad Baraja, and we 26:19 can go straight to the questions. I 26:25 One thing you need to note, brothers 26:27 and sisters. Mr. Fuad Baraja is someone 26:32 who can help and make it easier for us 26:37 to quit our habits, addiction, or 26:42 behavior, 26:43 this dependency behavior on cigarettes 26:47 using methods that have helped many 26:51 friends who want to stop smoking. You 26:55 can note the number, I will provide it 26:59 again at the end, so that the 27:01 difficulty of parting with this habit 27:05 can be overcome: 0811 866 411. Once 27:15 again, 0811866411. And regarding 27:27 yesterday, it happened to be World No 27:31 Tobacco Day, May 31st. 27:34 May 31st. 27:35 Yeah. Congratulations to our guest 27:39 speaker, Mr. Fuad Baraja. Because for 27:43 him, it's not just about May 31st being 27:47 tobacco-free, but every day, every 27:50 moment, every time, which hopefully 27:54 will persuade, influence, and motivate 27:58 everyone to be tobacco-free every 28:01 single day. Okay, the number has been 28:06 noted. Let's move on to the question 28:08 that appeared here. "I am a small 28:10 vendor on the side of the road.""I 28:13 really want to not provide, not not 28:16 provide cigarettes.""But I'm sorry, 28:19 they are the best sellers.""Do you have 28:23 any advice, Ustaz?""I actually feel 28:25 ashamed hearing this, but what should I 28:29 do?" Okay. 28:32 Yes. Yes. Yes. Uh, this is probably 28:35 just a matter of perspective, Ma'am. 28:38 Maybe what, Ma'am? Is it a gentleman, 28:40 sir? Does he have a name? 28:41 No name. Oh. 28:42 Okay. A small roadside vendor who sells 28:45 cigarettes. They ideally don't want to 28:47 sell cigarettes. But because cigarettes 28:49 are the best sellers, right? Cigarettes 28:51 have become the best-selling item. Not 28:54 just the best-selling; during the COVID 28:57 pandemic, while all products or 28:59 industries collapsed, cigarettes 29:01 remained triumphant. There is almost no 29:06 such thing as a recession for 29:07 cigarettes. Yes. So here is the thing, 29:10 Ma'am. The issue is you just have to be 29:12 convinced, okay? Strengthen your faith. 29:15 Provision is arranged by Allah. It is 29:18 impossible for Allah to provide 29:21 sustenance from something bad, 29:23 something dirty, something that in this 29:26 case brings disease. Yes. 29:29 It's not that He won't provide 29:30 sustenance, but what kind of sustenance 29:32 ? 29:33 Good sustenance is sustenance that we 29:35 intend for the sake of Allah. And it is 29:39 impossible for you to sell cigarettes 29:41 for the sake of Allah. So if you really 29:44 want to sell something else, sell other 29:47 items or goods, if you sell, if you 29:49 sell what do you call it? Uh, there are 29:53 so many things currently in front of 29:55 you, cigarettes are just one of the 29:57 many, right? You only say that 29:59 cigarettes are the best sellers. True. 30:01 Because cigarettes are addictive. They 30:04 will always be sought after by people. 30:08 Yes, it's just that the difference 30:10 between us and other countries is that 30:12 they strive as much as possible to keep 30:14 their young generation away from 30:16 cigarettes. Why? Because this young 30:20 generation is what the tobacco industry 30:21 is looking for. The tobacco industry 30:25 targets our teenagers, our children are 30:27 targeted. Because if they start smoking 30:29 , they will be customers forever until 30:31 they die. Now, let's think about that. 30:34 Make the intention, "O Allah, I am 30:36 leaving this cigarette trade for the 30:38 sake of Allah." Why? The hadith is very 30:41 clear, Ma'am. Whoever leaves something 30:44 for the sake of Allah, whoever leaves 30:47 something because of Allah, then Allah 30:49 will replace it with something better. 30:53 Now the problem is, do you believe in 30:54 the Messenger of Allah? Do you have 30:56 faith in the Messenger of Allah? 30:58 Because our faith varies, you know. It 31:00 means not just in Allah, but in the 31:02 angels, the scriptures, the books of 31:03 God, the Last Day, and the messengers. 31:07 We are obligated to believe. Not just 31:09 trusting, but truly believing. Because 31:12 we may be convinced, we believe that 31:14 the Messenger of Allah existed, but 31:16 believing is different. His teachings 31:20 must enter our hearts. Especially when 31:23 one of them says that if we leave 31:25 something for the sake of Allah, Allah 31:26 will replace it with something better. 31:29 There have been so many, Ma'am. So many 31:30 people already. So many people have 31:33 confessed to me. "I no longer stock 31:35 cigarettes in my shop, Sir." Everything 31:38 still runs fine. There are no problems. 31:40 It is impossible for your shop to go 31:42 bankrupt just because you don't sell 31:43 cigarettes. It’s impossible, Ma'am. 31:45 Not possible. Because Allah loves what 31:48 is clean, Allah loves what is good, 31:50 Allah loves what is pure, Allah loves 31:52 what is right. Yes, because cigarettes 31:55 are already clear. I mean, if you talk 31:58 to someone who smokes or someone who 32:00 profits from a cigarette factory, for 32:03 example, they will say, "Ah, who ever 32:05 died because of cigarettes? Nobody." 32:09 That is how they always look for 32:11 justifications. Even though the data, I 32:14 am telling you, from the Ministry of 32:16 Health, people who die from diseases 32:18 caused by cigarettes number more than 32:20 200,000 a year. This is data, I am not 32:25 just talking nonsense. Now, what if one 32:28 of those people who died did so because 32:30 they bought cigarettes at your place? 32:33 What would the accountability be? So, 32:34 from now on, set your intention. 32:36 Set your intention. It is not about 32:39 leaving something that we actually need 32:42 . Not at all. You are provided 32:45 sustenance by Allah through good paths. 32:48 There are many paths. Sustenance comes 32:49 in many ways. Yes, for a thief, 32:51 stealing is their source of income. A 32:55 thief gets income from the goods they 32:59 steal. Meaning, they steal, they get 33:00 income. That is income, but it is bad 33:03 income, evil income, and certainly not 33:05 lawful. So, let us strive, one of which 33:10 is by not doing anything that brings us 33:12 closer to what is forbidden. Yes, many 33:16 scholars have issued fatwas that any 33:19 forbidden item—even selling it 33:21 carries the impact of that prohibition 33:24 or sin. Yes, if you ask clerics who 33:28 might still say that smoking is makruh 33:31 (disliked), because currently there is 33:34 a split, as some say it is makruh and 33:37 some say it is haram. But those who say 33:40 it is haram are far more numerous. 33:43 During the fatwa deliberation on 33:46 smoking in Padang Panjang about 11 or 33:50 12 years ago, it was very clear that 83 33:53 %of scholars declared smoking 33:56 absolutely haram. Only 17%said it was 34:00 makruh. 34:02 So, that can be a consideration. 34:06 Therefore, smoking is haram. Why is 34:08 that? Because the object itself, 34:12 cigarettes, can cause diseases and so 34:15 on. So anything that is dangerous and 34:19 causes disease is considered*khabit*, 34:22 or in plural, *khabaits*. Now, in Surah 34:28 Al-A'raf verse 157, it is mentioned 34:32 that the Messenger of Allah—the 34:36 unlettered prophet—leads them to do 34:40 good and forbids them from doing evil. 34:47 "He makes lawful for them what is good 34:49 and prohibits for them what is evil." 34:52 The Messenger permits all that is good 34:55 for them and forbids all that is evil. 35:01 So, if you can believe and be convinced 35:03 that cigarettes are a bad thing and 35:06 their nature causes disease, then 35:08 cigarettes are haram. Clear. Because 35:12 they fall under those*khabaits*. * 35:14 Khabit*, the plural is*khabaits*, right 35:16 . But if you talk to a smoker who 35:20 benefits from cigarettes, they'll say, 35:22 "Oh no, cigarettes are not haram." Well 35:25 , you decide whether you trust them 35:27 more or trust the Messenger. Because 35:30 the Messenger said—or rather, the 35:33 verse explains—that the Messenger 35:36 leads people to do good, forbids them 35:39 from doing evil, permits what is good, 35:42 and forbids what is bad. The verse is 35:45 very clear. Al-A'raf verse 157. You can 35:48 look at Al-A'raf 157. Yes, that's right 35:52 . Please open your Quran and its 35:54 translation again. You will find that 35:57 anything bad is considered haram or 35:59 forbidden by Allah and His Messenger. 36:03 Okay, let's move to the next question, 36:06 which likely represents others since 36:09 this isn't the only WA message like 36:12 this. From Ibu Juni or Yuni in Ciputat. 36:19 My husband is an extremely active 36:20 smoker because, even though he just 36:22 recovered from a mild stroke, 36:24 cigarettes and coffee have become his 36:26 consumption again. 36:28 Allahu Akbar. 36:29 Even though it's forbidden. He even 36:31 becomes someone without empathy when I 36:33 forbid him from smoking inside the 36:35 house. Since I happen to have 36:38 bronchitis, he gets angry at my 36:40 prohibition. I feel upset. And I feel 36:45 like I just want to stop caring about 36:46 his illness. How is this, Pak Fuad 36:49 Sukron? 36:50 Oh my God. Yes, perhaps if you are 36:52 someone in this position, you shouldn't 36:55 feel discouraged, may Allah help you. 36:57 There are many other people, may Allah 36:58 help them. And what is clear is that 37:00 there are millions of people like you 37:02 in this republic. Yes. 37:04 Once again, ask for help from Allah. 37:07 There are many ways, I will discuss 37:09 them later. But pray, pray for your 37:12 husband, ask Allah to give him guidance 37:16 . "O Allah, help my husband to be freed 37:20 from this cigarette addiction." Keep 37:22 trying not to forget that prayer after 37:25 every obligatory prayer. God willing, 37:28 never tire of praying until Allah 37:30 grants it. Yes, there are many examples 37:33 in the Quran. But what is clear is that 37:36 a person who has already had a "mild" 37:39 stroke— "mild" is our human term, 37:42 right? Mild stroke, severe stroke. If a 37:45 stroke is still mild, people say it's 37:47 mild and you can still recover. But 37:49 recovery is actually a warning. You 37:51 were given a warning in the form of a 37:53 stroke, but granted recovery because it 37:55 was just a mild one. You shouldn't go 37:58 back to the things that caused that 38:00 stroke. How can you be given recovery 38:05 or a mild stroke, yet go back to the 38:08 activities that bring you closer to 38:10 another one? Yes, cigarettes clearly 38:13 cause strokes. Don't think it only says 38:17 it causes cancer, heart attacks, or 38:20 impotence. There are so many losses 38:23 caused by smoking. If they wrote it all 38:26 down, the pack would be full and there 38:28 would be no room left. That is just 38:30 what is written. So, once again, if you 38:34 have a mild stroke and recover, you 38:36 should be truly grateful. One way to 38:40 show gratitude is not to get close to 38:42 the things that caused that stroke. 38:45 Unfortunately, the wife is the one 38:47 asking, but the husband is the one 38:49 smoking. 38:49 But I am talking to you here, and there 38:51 are probably thousands of people 38:53 listening, right? 38:54 Yes. Yes. Yes, yes. It means perhaps 38:57 there are people who have been given an 39:00 illness due to smoking. Let's realize 39:05 that 39:06 uh 39:08 there is still time. 39:09 It is true that God is giving you a 39:11 warning that, God willing, can still be 39:14 managed and corrected. Don't let it get 39:18 worse, which could restrict your daily 39:22 activities and, of course, limit our 39:25 acts of worship later on. Yes, this is 39:29 similar. Uh, Ustaz, I want to force my 39:33 husband to listen to Rasil's YouTube 39:36 since he is not at home. So he realizes 39:39 —believe it or not, he didn't buy 39:41 milk when his wallet was empty, but he 39:43 bought cigarettes instead. I'm sorry, 39:46 and he is a teacher, too. How do you 39:48 deal with this? Yeah. 39:51 How do you deal with it? So, Ma'am, you 39:54 are... 39:54 Yeah. Yes. Tell me. 39:56 I'm sorry, Ma'am. Smoking doesn't 39:57 discriminate, Ma'am. It doesn't care if 39:59 you're a teacher or anyone else. I know 40:00 that for a fact, Ma'am. Many 40:02 specialists are smokers too, Ma'am. 40:05 Yes. A lot of them. So, 40:08 smoking knows no boundaries of social 40:11 status, profession, or age. Yes, I have 40:15 handled a child as young as two years 40:18 old who smoked, Ma'am. And there are 40:21 many such cases. If you search on 40:25 YouTube for "baby smoker," you will see 40:29 a cute, chubby, dark-skinned little kid 40:33 . His name is Aldi Rizal. This child 40:37 had been smoking since he was 11 months 40:40 old, Ma'am. It sounds like a fairy tale 40:43 , right? I met his mother, the child, 40:47 and his father in person. I met them at 40:50 the National Commission for Child 40:52 Protection years ago because the child 40:54 was brought from Musi Banyuasin, South 40:56 Sumatra, to Jakarta to get help to quit 40:58 smoking. Thank God, he has stopped 41:00 until now. But he started smoking at 11 41:03 months old, right? So, these cigarettes 41:07 are not ordinary objects, they aren't 41:09 just anything. These are 41:11 extraordinarily powerful things. It’s 41:15 just that because cigarette companies 41:18 always use deceptive tactics, they make 41:22 it seem like smoking is cool, exciting, 41:25 and great. Just look at those cigarette 41:29 ads; they are all misleading. Every 41:31 single cigarette ad is misleading. Yes, 41:33 I say the goal is to trap new smokers. 41:38 That is the purpose of cigarette 41:39 advertising. Because the whole world 41:42 has banned them; yes, countries all 41:44 over the world have banned cigarette 41:46 ads. Why? Because they don't want their 41:49 younger generation poisoned by the 41:51 tobacco industry. Yes. Uh, back to the 41:54 previous question, which is, uh...Maybe 41:58 like this, ma'am. If we keep being, 42:03 what? Too confrontational, fighting 42:06 them, saying don't smoke, do this, do 42:08 that, eventually they get tired of 42:10 hearing it. Later, they might smoke 42:12 even more outside, it could get worse. 42:14 But clearly, provide understanding; you 42:18 can use YouTube, like Rasil's YouTube, 42:21 or books. I have many books on the 42:24 issue of smoking; please contact my 42:27 mobile number if you need them. I have 42:30 three books about the smoking problem, 42:33 you can see them on my WhatsApp. 42:37 Then, most importantly, is prayer, 42:40 ma'am. A wife's prayer for her husband 42:44 is, God willing, a prayer that will be 42:45 granted and answered by Allah. Because 42:48 you are praying for your husband to 42:50 draw closer to Allah. Because someone 42:54 who smokes is moving away from Allah. A 42:57 person who smokes is in the process of 42:59 moving away from Allah because they 43:02 commit something forbidden hundreds of 43:04 times a day. Meaning, if you count one 43:08 puff, one cigarette is smoked about 20 43:11 times. If they smoke 16 cigarettes, 16 43:15 times 20. 43:17 Usually 25, so about 400 puffs. Just 43:22 imagine, every puff distances us from 43:24 Allah because it is an activity 43:26 forbidden by Allah. Because we are 43:29 plunging ourselves into the abyss of 43:32 destruction. Yes, in the Quran it is 43:34 clearly stated, "Do not throw 43:36 yourselves into destruction." So, the 43:40 verses presented here, ma'am, are not 43:42 verses intended specifically to stop or 43:44 ban smoking. No. Because in the time of 43:46 the Prophet, when the Quran was 43:47 revealed, there were no cigarettes. So 43:50 there are no verses that explicitly say 43:52 smoking is forbidden. But it forbids a 43:55 person from throwing themselves into 43:57 the abyss of destruction. Verses that 44:01 show one should not do anything that 44:06 causes disease or harm and so on are 44:10 very numerous. So, ma'am, once again, 44:13 don't forget to pray. Ask Allah, don't 44:14 get tired, ma'am. Don't get tired of 44:16 praying so that when the time comes, 44:18 Allah will answer it. There are many, 44:20 ma'am. Very many. 44:22 Let me give you one example before I go 44:24 back to Ms. Nining. 44:27 There was once a famous band member, 44:29 right? I forgot his name. Oh my God, 44:31 I'll forget it if I don't write it down 44:33 . He played in a famous band. He was a 44:35 heavy smoker. Then he went on the Hajj. 44:38 What did he do? This story is in my 44:40 book. He prayed and asked Allah at the 44:43 Kaaba. In front of the Kaaba, he asked, 44:45 "O Allah, keep me away from things that 44:47 are bad for this world and the 44:49 hereafter." Notice his prayer, "keep me 44:52 away." He asked to stop smoking. Maybe 44:54 he couldn't stop smoking on his own. " 44:56 Keep me away from bad things in this 44:58 world and the hereafter." Subhanallah. 45:02 After he left the Kaaba and headed to 45:04 his hotel, every time he smoked, it 45:06 tasted terrible. The cigarette tasted 45:09 bitter and, basically, there was no 45:11 enjoyment at all. 45:12 He was confused, wondering why he was 45:14 fine smoking earlier, then suddenly he 45:16 remembered his prayer. 45:17 He. 45:18 Could this be the answer to my prayer? 45:20 He immediately threw the cigarette away 45:22 and hasn't smoked since. 45:25 So, there is nothing, Ma'am, nothing 45:28 that can stop Allah from doing what He 45:31 wills. So Allah can do anything, you 45:34 see. Including stopping the smoking 45:36 habit, as long as you ask for help from 45:39 Allah. Amen. 45:40 Yes. Wasta'in bisobri wasalah. Seek 45:44 help through patience and prayer. That 45:48 is clear, right. Please, Ma'am. 45:50 Yes. This is the last one, Ustaz. In my 45:53 opinion, smoking has a bad impact on 45:55 health. A preventive measure for 45:59 individuals that is just as important 46:01 is prevention through government advice 46:04 and appeals. Closing tobacco factories, 46:08 because that is the source of the 46:10 problem. If the government is truly a 46:12 proper authority, just close the 46:14 cigarette factories. Okay, that may be 46:18 the desire of many people, even though 46:21 regarding the application and 46:24 implementation, we have to wait, who 46:27 knows when, and 46:29 before the closing statement from... 46:32 No, no, I need to answer this first. 46:34 Okay. Yes, please. 46:36 Just a little bit, Ma'am. 46:38 I don't know if it's Ma'am or Sir. Oh, 46:40 perhaps a Sir. Triabani. Okay, Mr. Tri 46:42 Rabani. 46:43 All over the world, Sir, there is no 46:46 country that closes cigarette factories 46:48 . None. There are no cigarette 46:52 factories closed by force. None. Yes, 46:54 let me tell you. But they provide clear 46:59 rules, regulations, or laws. First, the 47:05 price of cigarettes is made very 47:06 expensive. 47:07 One stick for 100,000 Rupiah. 47:09 It can be more. For example, a pack of 47:12 cigarettes that costs 25,000 or 30,000 47:15 Rupiah here, in Singapore it's already 47:18 130,000, and in Australia, it reaches 47:21 400,000 to 450,000 Rupiah per pack. A 47:25 pack that costs 30,000 here is 130,000 47:28 in Singapore and over 400,000 in 47:30 Australia. It's not that they don't 47:33 close the factories. They don't do it, 47:36 so why? So that our children cannot 47:38 afford to buy cigarettes. So cigarettes 47:41 aren't sold individually like here. 47:43 It's not allowed. Imagine if a single 47:45 cigarette cost 40,000 or 20,000 Rupiah. 47:48 And even then, they aren't sold 47:49 individually. And that is one of the, 47:52 uh, rules they implemented, the 47:53 convention they adopted regarding 47:55 cigarette prices. Second, cigarette 47:57 advertising is prohibited because the 47:58 purpose of cigarette ads is to ensnare 48:00 new smokers. That is why almost every 48:02 country in the world bans cigarette 48:03 advertising. Then the third is the 48:06 restriction of smoking areas. People 48:09 are allowed to buy cigarettes. They 48:10 might afford to buy cigarettes for 48:11 400,000 rupiah, but they are not 48:12 allowed to smoke just anywhere. The 48:13 penalties are clear. The fines are 48:15 extremely high, reaching millions, if 48:17 people smoke in prohibited places. Yes, 48:19 that's it. Now, these things will make 48:21 people stay away from cigarettes, and 48:24 eventually, the number of smokers will 48:26 decrease because why? There is no 48:29 regeneration of new smokers. That is 48:33 the goal. There’s no need to shut 48:35 them down. If our children don't smoke, 48:37 cigarette factories will go bankrupt on 48:39 their own. Let me repeat that, sorry. 48:43 If our children don't smoke, cigarette 48:45 factories will go bankrupt. This was 48:46 stated by the tobacco industry itself, 48:48 you know. In one of their secret 48:51 documents, they said that today's 48:53 teenagers are tomorrow's customers. If 48:57 today's teenagers don't smoke, then the 48:58 tobacco industry will go bankrupt, just 49:00 like a society that does not produce a 49:02 successor generation. It will go 49:04 extinct. Think about it. So once again, 49:09 while we wait for a smarter government 49:11 that can protect the public from the 49:13 dangers of smoking, let us protect our 49:16 children. One way is by providing 49:20 information about the dangers of 49:22 smoking regularly and continuously. 49:24 Don't ever get tired of it, okay? Then, 49:26 by, uh, setting an example. If you are 49:30 still unable to quit smoking, keep your 49:32 children away from exposure. Don't let 49:35 your child see you smoke, let alone 49:37 send your child to buy cigarettes. This 49:40 is a tremendous act of stupidity. Yeah. 49:44 Sending a child to buy cigarettes is 49:45 stupidity. I ask why? Later, if they 49:48 want to smoke for themselves, they will 49:50 say to me, "My father told me to." Yes, 49:53 once again, do not ask children to buy 49:54 cigarettes. Do not smoke in front of 49:56 them, as they will imitate your 49:58 behavior. The children I mentioned 50:00 earlier, smoking from the age of two, 50:02 even as young as 11 months, it all 50:04 happened because they saw their parents 50:06 smoking, you see. So do not sacrifice 50:09 your children, but let's save our 50:11 children from this cigarette addiction. 50:14 If our children do not smoke, the 50:16 tobacco industry will close on its own, 50:17 as has happened in many other countries 50:19 . Yes, go ahead. 50:22 Yes, yes. This is from, uh, Mrs. Nur 50:27 Jamah. "I feel like giving up on 50:30 advising my family—my siblings— 50:32 about smoking, Sir.""Sometimes when 50:34 they are sick and ask for medicine, I 50:36 just say, 'Once the cigarette factories 50:38 close, only then can you be cured of 50:39 your sickness.'""And guess what their 50:41 answer is?""Well,""'Even goats don't 50:44 smoke, and they still get sick anyway.' 50:46 ""If we get an answer like that, what 50:49 should we do?""Well, Mr. Fuad, thank 50:52 you very much for the beneficial 50:54 knowledge and advice for us." We all 50:58 pray, don't we, that those families who 51:00 still have an ashtray and like to sniff 51:02 around other "ashtrays" besides the 51:04 real ones, well, you know what that 51:06 means. Okay, let's summarize today's 51:11 discussion regarding still smoking 51:13 while supposedly loving Allah and His 51:16 Messenger. Go ahead. Right. Uh, let's 51:22 repeat from the start. The goal—sorry 51:26 , the title of this episode is loving 51:28 Allah, specifically for those who smoke 51:30 . It relates to the Qurbani, the animal 51:37 sacrifice, for the upcoming Eid al-Adha 51:41 which is not far off now, maybe in a 51:45 month and ten days. 51:50 Oh, more like ten days away, God 51:53 willing, we will be able to perform 51:55 Qurbani with sincere love for Allah, 51:58 sacrificing lillahi ta'ala. To show our 52:02 love for Allah and His Messenger. Yes. 52:05 Now, how does this relate to what we 52:06 mentioned earlier? Our ability to 52:09 afford these sacrificial animals is 52:12 hindered by our spending on something 52:15 useless. Yes, if you say cigarettes are 52:19 useful to you, it's only because you 52:20 are already addicted. If smoking is 52:22 truly useful, why don't you tell your 52:25 wife to smoke? If cigarettes are good, 52:27 why don't you tell your children to 52:29 smoke? So, there’s no need to look 52:31 for justifications. Let’s think, 52:33 let’s return to a healthy mindset 52:37 that smoking is globally recognized as 52:42 causing so many health problems. It has 52:46 been proven by over 70,000 scientific 52:50 studies that smoking is linked to at 52:53 least 26 types of health disorders. 52:58 Therefore, let's move away from these 53:01 health risks and closer to Allah by 53:04 sacrificing the best animal we can 53:07 afford through our wealth. If we don't 53:12 smoke, we save at least 6 million 53:15 rupiah or even more. If you smoke two 53:18 packs a day, you could sacrifice a cow. 53:21 Try calculating it yourself. It’s 53:23 very clear, isn't it? So, don't try to 53:25 find justifications. Yes. Then, protect 53:28 our children from exposure by not 53:30 letting them see people smoking. Keep 53:33 your home free from smoking behavior by 53:36 not allowing anyone to smoke inside the 53:38 house. You are the homeowner. You have 53:42 the authority there. Don't be defeated 53:44 by a guest. If a guest wants to smoke, 53:46 say, "Please, sir.""You can smoke 53:47 outside.""I am protecting my children 53:50 so they don't see people smoking.""If 53:52 you want to smoke, please go outside." 53:54 There's no problem with that. It is 53:55 perfectly fine for you to keep your 53:57 home smoke-free. In fact, I saw, Ms. 54:00 Nuning, in West Sumatra, in the city of 54:02 Padang Panjang, 54:04 there are many houses with signs on 54:06 their doors, written with digital 54:08 printing, not just with a marker. 54:11 Uh-huh. " 54:13 We do not accept guests who smoke." 54:15 Uh-huh. Their awareness of the dangers 54:19 posed by becoming passive smokers due 54:22 to someone else's cigarette smoke is 54:24 extraordinary; it has reached that 54:26 level. 54:28 Buying cigarettes is buying disease and 54:30 the like. Those words are written so 54:32 often on the front doors of their 54:33 houses, aren't they? So once again, 54:36 let's keep away, let's keep the dangers 54:38 of cigarettes away and draw ourselves 54:40 closer to Allah. One way is by not 54:44 smoking, and then using the money we 54:47 saved to buy a sacrificial animal. The 54:52 more useless things we leave behind, 54:55 the more we can afford a bigger, better 54:58 sacrifice. Meaning, instead of a goat, 55:01 we could sacrifice a cow, or maybe even 55:02 a camel, and so on. Come on, let's draw 55:05 even closer to Allah. Show an even 55:09 greater love for Allah Subhanahu wa 55:12 ta'ala and His Messenger by leaving 55:14 behind bad behavior, dirty habits, and 55:17 useless things. Yes, because one proof 55:22 of someone's good Islam is by leaving 55:26 behind things that are not useful. The 55:30 hadith is clear. Min husni islamil 55:32 mar'i. Of course, this hadith is not 55:38 specifically about cigarettes. Once 55:39 again, there is no hadith revealed or 55:41 conveyed by the Messenger of Allah 55:43 regarding cigarettes. There isn't one. 55:45 Because in that era, there were no 55:46 cigarettes. Yeah. So again, there are 55:48 no hadiths or Quranic verses directly 55:50 related to the act of smoking. But it 55:54 is well established that smoking causes 55:56 diseases, making it something "khabith" 55:58 or in the plural, "khaba'ith". There is 56:02 "do not, do not," so to speak, "cast 56:05 yourselves into destruction.""Wala 56:07 tulqu bi-aydikum ila at-tahlukah," 56:09 there is the verse. Then, as an example 56:13 , the signs of a believer. What is one 56:16 of the signs of a believer? It is in 56:19 Surah Al-Mu'minun, "Qad 56:20 aflahal-mu'minun, alladhina hum..." 56:23 those who turn away from useless things 56:26 . Those who turn away from things that 56:30 are not useful. That is one proof of 56:32 your love for Allah. Yes, if we love 56:34 Allah, we must leave what is forbidden. 56:37 Yes, if we are still doing things 56:39 forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, 56:41 it means we don't yet love Allah and 56:43 His Messenger. That's enough, right? 56:46 Yeah, that's really cool. Hopefully, 56:48 your love for that one thing has 56:51 already ended. Right.
