FACTORS AND SOLUTIONS OF MORAL DECAY (SMOKING)

One factor that lead to smoking is government not implement law of
Islam that is hudud, qisas, takhzir. Government should bestow this law in our
country because Islamic law is not just a law to punish people but also law that
punish and give moral value to others people. In lslamic law there is no such
specific law that related to smoking but to solve this problem scholar use qisas
technique to make the law.

Mass media is a significant force in modern culture, particularly in
Malaysia. Sociologists refer to this as a mediated culture where media reflects
and creates the culture. Communities and individuals are bombarded constantly
with messages of smoking from multiple sources including TV, billboards, and
magazines. These messages are not only promote cigarettes, but moods,
attitudes, and a sense of what is and is not important. Researchers have found
that teens who see photographs of friends smoking on social media are more
likely to do so themselves. To stop the media influence, the federal agency has to
develop and place paid advertisements for a national tobacco education
campaign. The ads will feature emotionally powerful stories of former smokers
living with smoking-related diseases and disabilities. The campaign also
encourages people to call 1-800-QUIT-NOW, a toll-free number to access quit
support across the country, or visit a quit-assistance website. Mass media
campaigns to promote quitting are important investments as part of
comprehensive tobacco control program to educate about the harms of smoking,
set the agenda for discussion, change smoking attitudes and beliefs, increase
quitting intentions and quit attempts, and reduce adult smoking prevalence.

 Parents are less giving love and not concerned about the change in the
attitude of the children is also a factor of smoking problem in Muslim teenagers.
This is because parents that ignore their responsibilities as good parents. In
Islam giving love to each others is a good nature to be a good Muslim. Our
prophet, Muhammad also being strict about giving love to others Muslim. The
prophet also said: I am going to enhance the glory of human morality, reported
by Malik. Here I just want to describe about love, which is one aspect of the
character of the Prophet who is very necessary for human beings. Parent
supposed to give education in sending their children to the anti-smoking
campaign. Through participating the campaign , which should be achieved
smokers and smokers rate can be reduced . Anti-smoking campaign launched by
the government about a year ago in the nation based on the slogan " Tak Nak ! "
Slogan is very appropriate to remove the bad habit of smoking and say "Saya tak
nak merokok.

Muslim teenagers smoking without knowing the jus of smoking. The

Islamic scholar already mentioned the jus of smoking which is haram. Teen
smoking is more common among teens whose parents smoke. First of all,
parents should not smoking as their children will follow their steps to begin
smoking. Parents must follow Luqman Al-Hakim as been told in the Quran in
surah Luqman. He always give advice to his son like avoid from doing shirk and
to enjoin(people) for good, and forbid from evil. So, by this way, it will prevent
the Muslim teenagers from smoking. Moreover, parents must be more strict to
their children when their children doing something that haram in Islam. Effect
for smoking should be told to the children to make them afraid of smoking like
telling that smoking will make their lungs black and cannot function anymore.
Muslim also lack of iman towards Allah They are easily influenced by
mingling with smokers. One should increase their iman toward Allah.This is
because when someone remembers Allah, The One and Only,He/She will never
try smoking. One should also enhance their self-confidence and not only
following other people doing. When we have high self-confidence, we will be
hardly influenced by others. One should try to avoid mingle oftenly with smokers

because it can give adverse effects to you. Lastly, one should not procrastinate
their time and spend most of their time to remember The Mighty God, Allah.
Besides, one of the problems that causes moral decay is the society. One
of the familiar verses of Quran in surah Al Imran 110, teaches that to be a
superior ummah, that we need the culture to uphold the rights and wrongs, to
encourage the good habits and forbid the wrongs. But most of us nowadays
always think about ourselves and neglect others. To curb moral decays like zina,
gangsterism or other bad things which called mungkar, we need to follow a
certain guidline based on the hadith of Rasulullah which stated to stop the
mungkar by hands, words, and heart. To stop mungkar by hands is to stop the
bad things by our power and ranks for example if we are a police, we are
obligated to use we power to stop people from stealing, making chaos. But if we
do not have the power, use our words, advise them with good advice and do not
raise your voice. But still if we can't do it, we are required to stop the mungkar
by heart, means to hate the mungkar with our heart and to make ambition that
one day to curb it with our words and power. Many complain that this hadith is
too familiar and cliche around the society, but as the people neglect to
implement it, the moral problems become a disaster for the muslim community.
