 A Real Debate between a Child and an Adult
Naser is a pious headmaster stopped at and got into a Musjid in Riyadh to do Dhuhur”noon” prayer.
Naser narrates:”Before we started doing Dhuhur prayer, I had been doing two rak’a”kneeling down”called”Musjid greeting” while a prayer next to me smelling rotten tobacco. When I finished the two rak’a,I looked at him and he was an Egyptian with black lips due to smoking.I was about to advise him to give up smoking.However, I decided to postpone my advice until we get out of the Musjid.At the same time , I spotted a 9 year-old son closer to the Egyptian and between them took place the following debate:
The child: “Peace be upon you, my uncle!Are you from Egypt?
The man:”Yes, I am”
The child:”Have you known , the scholar, Sheikh Abdulhameed Kishk?
The man:”Yes, I have”
The child:”And you have known , the scholar, Sheikh Jad Al-haqq?
The man:”Of course”
The child:”And you have known , the scholar , Sheikh Mohammad Al-Ghazali?
The man:”Sure!Yes! I have known him?
The child:”Do you listen to their sermon cassettes and their Fatwa”advisory opinions”?
The man:”Yes! I do”
The child:”If all these scholars”Sheikh” state that smoking is forbidden , then why do you smoke cigarette?
The man:”Somking is not forbidden”and got embarrassed.
The child:”Verily!It is forbidden!Allah , the Almighty, the Exalted says about Muhammad in the holy Quran:” he(Muhammad)prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khabâ'ith--all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods”(7:157)
And the child added:”Do you say”in the name of Allah”at the beginning of smoking ?Or”praise be to Allah” at the end of smoking?
The man:”Recite just a Quranic verse says:”he prohibits them smoking cigarette” stubbornly replied.
The child:”O!Uncle, smoking cigarette is prohibited and so is apple fruit !
The man:”Apple fruit is prohibited!!!You are not scholar to allow or prohibit such things?Angerily replied :mad:
The child:”Recite just a Quranic verse says:”he allows them apple fruit” 8)
Naser the headmaster says:
At length, the man got puzzled and silent.He burst into tears and prayed while he weeping .After finishing Dhuhur prayer, the man looked at the child and said:”Listen my son!I swear in Allah that I will not smoke from now on forever.  |
