You can have 2 different things hanging out on your mouth... 1 - Cigarette ( Destroying yourself , pleasing ur nafs ) leading u towards jahannam Allah says (interpretation of the meaning) in surat al-Araaf (7:157): And He makes good things halaal for them and bad things haraam. Do not kill yourself. Allah is Merciful unto you. (Surat al-Nisaa 4:29) In addition, His Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said: There is no harm or causing of harm (in Islaam). (Arabic laa darar wa laa diraar) He SAWS (peace be upon him) also said: A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ... his body as to what he engaged it in. Smoking also goes against the saying of the Prophet SAWS: Your body has a right on you. There is no disagreement among the physicians and sane people that smoking is harmful for the health of others who inhale the polluted breath of the smoker. Medical research has proven the harmful effects of smoking mothers on their children. The offensive smell caused by smoking is a source of pain to the worshippers of Allah among humans and angels. The angels are offended and suffer from the same things that the human beings suffer from. Allah said (interpretation of the meaning): Those who cause harm to believing men and women without any reason do a great sin. (Surat al-Ahzaab, 33:58) The money that is spent on cigarettes is used on buying a harmful thing and is therefore an extravagance. Allah said (interpretation of the meaning): … and do not be extravagant wasters. Those who are extravagant are kinsmen of Satan. (Surat al-Israa 17:26-27) Extravagance (in Islam) means spending on something haraam. Spending money on cigarettes is a waste of resources as well. The Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said: A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ..... what he owned as to how he spent it. Smoking = Haram 2 - Siwaak/Miswak ( purifying the mouth , Pleasing Allah) leading u towards jannah Siwaak is a method of cleaning the mouth which also earns the pleasure of Allaah, as is proven in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Siwaak cleanses the mouth and pleases the Lord.’” (Reported by [??] al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh, 2/274, and by [??] Ahmad, 6/47, and al-Nisaa’i, 1/50. Its isnaad is saheeh, see al-Irwa’ 1/105). Use of the siwaak is repeatedly encouraged, as in the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him), who reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Were it not for the fact that I did not want to make things too hard for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwaak at every time of prayer.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/299 and Muslim, 1/151). According to another report narrated by al-Bukhaari, he said: “…at every time of making wudoo’.” Imaam al-Nawawi reported that the respectable scholars were agreed that use of the siwaak is sunnah and is encouraged. One of the signs of its importance is the fact that some of the salaf (early generations of Islam), such as Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh, thought that it was obligatory.
