K 157 Merokok bukan budaya Islam(Smoking is not an Islamic culture).

Terinspirasi dari Seminar Internasional tentang tembakau dalam padangan Islam – Bandar Seri Begawan – Brunei Darussalam 11-14 Julai 2002, video yang dibuat oleh MUSA UP (Multimedia Utilizing Scientists Against Unhealthy Promotion) Indonesia – untuk anak-anak dan remaja Indonesia ini memaparkan sejarah merokok. Manusia pertama yang merokok adalah suku Indian Amerika. Bangsa Eropah yang menemukan benua Amerika abad ke 14 kemudian membawa tembakau ke Eropah dan merokok menjadi ikutan di Eropah. Tapi berbeza dengan orang Indian yang merokok untuk acara ritual, orang Eropah melakukannya untuk kesenangan semata-mata. Abad ke 17 pelaut Eropah membawa tembakau ke Asia dan Abad 19 memasuki Turki. Saat itu barulah tembakau masuk ke negara-negara Islam. NABI MUHAMMAD  SHALLALLAHU ‘ALAIHI WASSALLAM dan para sahabatnya hidup saat tembakau belum ada di sekelilingnya. NABI MUHAMMAD  SHALLALLAHU ‘ALAIHI WASSALLAM dan para sahabatnya yang merupakan panutan umat Islam seluruh dunia dan sepanjang masa tidak merokok. Umat Islam yang pertama merokok adalah yang hidup jauh setelah NABI MUHAMMAD  SHALLALLAHU ‘ALAIHI WASSALLAM dan sahabatnya wafat, itupun kerana tidak tahu bahayanya bagi aspek kesihatan. Jadi jelas merokok bukan budaya Islam.

(Inspired by first International seminar on tobacco or health in Islamic perspective, the video that was made by MUSA UP – Multimedia utilizing scientist against unhealthy promotion- explain history of smoking. The first man who smoked was an American Indian. European who found American continent in 14th century brought tobacco to Europe and smoking became a new mode in Europe. In 17th century European brought tobacco to Asia and in 19th century to Turkey. That was the first time tobacco get into a Islamic country. The prophet of MUHAMMAD and his friends were living in the time where there was no tobacco near them. The prophet of MUHAMMAD and his friend who are patrons for all Muslims around the world and for all of the time, were non smokers. The first Muslims who smoked were living long after the death of the prophet of MUHAMMAD. And they did it because they still didn’t know harmful effects of smoking. It is clear that smoking is not an Islamic culture.
