Use of Tobacco

Post by goldfaizi »

Ya Ali Madad,

I am noticing that many of our ismaili brother's are eating tobacco. Which is really harmful for health. I have tried alot to help my friend to giveup tobacco. I dont know why they are not leaving it. I know if a person eat's tobacco from last 2 to 3 year's, it is not easier for him to leave it.

I searching for some farman's, and solution for this problem. I have found many disadvantages or demerit's of tobacco with there solution. Those solution's are not enough. I want some farman's, which help me to tell my friend's. I hope when they will listen these farman's, they will giveup tobacco.

Faizan.

There are many farmans Imam made in 1960s on Smoking and Wine.

He said on smoking that he would be very unhappy to see that his spiritual children smokes. (Not exact) (And it's a one-liner).

I believe because Smoking or drugs or wine destroys our intellect and intellect and soul has a direct relationship (Right?). So tell them about it.

I hate most things about our elders in pakistan or somewhere except our parents if we go in our family to tell them about the bad part of their habits. They say don't interfere as we're still kids. Huh!

You are right brother. I think people need some guidance, like when they see anyone who would be suffering from disease due to drug's or tobacco, then these people will realize.

They need proper instruction about causes of tobacco. Tobacco , drug's and wine kills intelligence of a man. Man lose all his skill's by using Tobacco. Hazar Imam has stated too many farman's about causes of tobacco. I dont know why people are not leaving this bad habit? What is the problem behind it? When i asked someone why are you eating this? Then he reply " I feel better when i eat this ". Huh! They are mad. They are loosing their health by own self.

Umm..There are programs for it regularly in the Jamatkhana over the problems of drugs and smoking and also many TV programs are covering this issue but as it destroys their intellect...it's evident they won't judge what's right and wrong for them well. They need someone of their own age to force them to leave. But I guess you go and show them the farmans and emotionally blackmail them ehe. Tell them that you're not only hurting your body, you're hurting Imam and also your soul because body is a place where Soul lives. We must treat our body like a temple. I hope you do your work and then leave it on GOD.

I am sure that person if close to you will surely thank you for the efforts and will realize it.

Very True brother. I hope that i will get success to help my friend's. Inshallah when they will hear the reality there will surely leave it. Do you know brother, another plague which people are facing is that " Incomplete Faith in themselves". They sometimes believe the reality but after few day's they comeback to the wrong path.

I had tried this before, they leave it, but after short span of time, when i meet them they were not changed. I am very depressed that when someone realize then why again he follow wrong path.

It's not incomplete faith. It's their addiction.

When a person is addicted, his brain also overpowers willpower. He wants to satisfy his needs despite knowing that it's bad. So for some it's bandagi and for some it's medical assistance. But anyone to a level of addiction need something to get rid of that habit :)

You are correct but I think you didn't understand the real meaning of my word's. If these people really love their Imam, their faith, they would never addicted to these kind of bad habit's. In complete faith means that If people would give more importance to religion, to Imam, then worldly relation's or life, It would not be harder for them to get rid of it. :)

Yup You're right but sometimes people gets addicted first and then their love rises again for the Imam and when they want to leave it becomes difficult. But bandagi is a nice weapon ;)

Yes. I think if they do meditation, they will surely leave it.
