Haram (حرام)
is the famous Arabic term wildly use in
the meaning of prohibited and also considered the opposite of Halal (حلال).
Prohibited is not the right translation
for the word Haram. In actuality Haram got way wider and different meaning, Haram used for the person, thing, place or an idea, which possesses dignity in
it.
For Example; Masjid-ul-Haram (مسجد
الحرام). It’s a most holy place for Muslims of the world. Is a Haram place because
it possesses dignity in it and to enter in this place person apply strong
discipline on himself/herself.
While the Quran used the word (خمر) "khumar" not
only for the alcohol but everything that make you feel “high and intoxicate" it included
cigarette and any kind of drug. If you still use it according to the Quran it
means that you breached the dignity of society and until you are not in your
conscious do not get near “the social setup” (الصلاة).
In those counties where drinking of alcohol is legal it is still a crime to drink and drive by the same law that allowed them to drink. In the end it is injurious for the health or you can say its like selling cigarette with the health warning on the pack.
In Arabic we have the word
(ممنوعہ) Mam’nua for prohibition
of the person, thing, place or an idea.
After reading smoking kills if someone still smoke its mean that person breaching the dignity of health and others. While smoking on public place breached the dignity of other nonsmoker humans.
