And spend in the cause of God, and do not throw yourselves with your own hands into ruin, and be charitable. God loves the charitable.
Does the Qur'an mention smoking?
In short
- The verses usually cited are 2:195, do not throw yourselves with your own hands into ruin; and 4:29, do not kill yourselves, where Pickthall has one another.
- The text does not say: anything about smoking or tobacco. The Qur'an does not mention smoking.
- The rest comes from: outside the Qur'an; no source for it is named here.
Where the renderings split
4:29, Itani: "And do not kill yourselves"
4:29, Pickthall: "and kill not one another"
4:29, Palmer: "And do not kill yourselves"
4:29, Rodwell: "and commit not suicide"
4:29, Sale: "neither slay your selves"
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The Qur'an does not mention smoking, and it does not name tobacco. The nearest verses readers bring to the question speak of harm to oneself in general words.
At 2:195 Itani has "do not throw yourselves with your own hands into ruin", and Palmer has "be not cast by your own hands into perdition". The verse stands in a passage on spending in the cause of God.
At 4:29 the renderings split on whom the command is about: Itani and Palmer have "And do not kill yourselves", Sale "neither slay your selves" and Rodwell "commit not suicide", where Pickthall has "kill not one another".
Neither verse names smoke or a habit. Whether either reaches smoking, the verses do not say.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 2:195, widening across 2 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 2 passages, each with every cleared translation
2 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

And carry out the Hajj and the Umrah for God. But if you are prevented, then whatever is feasible of offerings. And do not shave your heads until the offering has reached its destination. Whoever of you is sick, or has an injury of the head, then redemption of fasting, or charity, or worship. When you are secure: whoever continues the Umrah until the Hajj, then whatever is feasible of offering. But if he lacks the means, then fasting for three days during the Hajj and seven when you have returned, making ten in all. This is for he whose household is not present at the Sacred Mosque. And remain conscious of God, and know that God is stern in retribution.
Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety, then whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give) such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts), then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage, and of seven when ye have returned; that is, ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment
And fulfil the pilgrimage and the visitation to God; but if ye be besieged, then what is easiest for you by way of gift. But shave not your heads until your gift shall reach its destination; and he amongst you who is sick or has a hurt upon his head, then the redemption is by fasting or by alms or by an offering. But when ye are safe again, then let him who would enjoy the visitation until the pilgrimage (bring) what is easiest as a gift. And he who cannot find (anything to bring), then let him fast three days on the pilgrimage and seven when ye return; these make ten days complete. That is, for him whose family are not present in the Sacred Mosque; and fear God and know that God is keen to punish
Accomplish the Pilgrimage and the Visitation of the holy places in honour of God: and if ye be hemmed in by foes, send whatever offering shall be the easiest: and shave not your heads until the offering reach the place of sacrifice. But whoever among you is sick, or hath an ailment of the head, must satisfy by fasting, or alms, or an offering. And when ye are safe from foes, he who contents himself with the Visitation of the holy places, until the Pilgrimage, shall bring whatever offering shall be the easiest. But he who findeth nothing to offer, shall fast three days in the Pilgrimage itself, and seven days when ye return: they shall be ten days in all. This is binding on him whose family shall not be present at the sacred Mosque. And fear God, and know that God is terrible in punishing
Perform the pilgrimage of Mecca, and the visitation of God: And if ye be besieged, send that offering which shall be the easiest; and shave not your heads, until your offering reacheth the place of sacrifice. But whoever among you is sick, or is troubled with any distemper of the head, must redeem the shaving his head by fasting, or alms, or some offering. When ye are secure from enemies, he who tarrieth in the visitation of the temple of Mecca until the pilgrimage, shall bring that offering which shall be the easiest. But he who findeth not any thing to offer, shall fast three days in the pilgrimage, and seven when ye are returned: They shall be ten days complete. This is incumbent on him, whose family shall not be present at the holy temple. And fear God and know that God is severe in punishing

Fear ye me ye who possess minds
Let the Pilgrimage be made in the months already known: whoever therefore undertaketh the Pilgrimage therein, let him not know a woman, nor transgress, nor wrangle in the Pilgrimage.

ऐ ईमान वालो! आपस में एक-दूसरे का धन अवैध रूप से न खाओ, सिवाय इसके कि वह तुम्हारी आपसी सहमति से कोई व्यापार हो। तथा अपने आपको क़त्ल[27] न करो। निःसंदेह अल्लाह तुमपर अति दयावान् है।
O credenti, non consumate tutti i vostri beni tra di voi, ingiustamente, tranne nel caso di un commercio di comune accordo. E non uccidete voi stessi: Allāh è in verità Misericordioso con voi.
29. O jūs, kurie tikite! Nerykite savo nuosavybės tarp savęs neteisingai, išskyrus, jei tai sandoris tarp jūsų, abipusiu sutikimu. Ir nežudykite savęs (ir nežudykite vienas kito). Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Gailestingiausiasis jums.
Yaa warra amantan! qabeenya keessan gidduu keessanitti dharaan hin nyaatinaa, Yoo daldala jaalala keessan irraa taateen tahe malee, Lubbuulee keessan hin ajjeesinaa. Rabbiin isiniif rahmata godhaadha. [17]
О вы, которые уверовали! Не присваивайте имущество друг друга неправым путём, разве что это будет торговля по взаимному согласию между вами. И не убивайте самих себя. Воистину, Аллах всегда был [и пребудет] к вам милующим.
О ви који верујете, једни од других на недозвољен начин имања не присвајајте, осим трговином уз обострани пристанак, и сами себе не убијајте. Аллах је, заиста, према вама милостив.
Enyi mlioamini! Msizile mali zenu baina yenu kwa batili, isipokuwa ikiwa ni biashara kwa kuridhiana wenyewe. Wala msijiue. Hakika, Mwenyezi Mungu kwenu ni Mrehemevu.
Troende! Tillskansa er inte varandras egendom med orätt, utan endast genom handel grundad på ömsesidigt samtycke. Och ta inte era liv! Gud är barmhärtig mot er.
Ey iman edenler! Mallarınızı aranızda batıl yollarla yemeyin. Ancak karşılıklı rıza ile yapılan ticaretle olursa başka. Kendinizi helâk etmeyin. Şüphesiz Allah, size karşı çok merhametlidir.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it2 of the 2 paragraphs signed with this study
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
The question asks whether the Qur'an mentions smoking. The probe for tobacco and cigarettes returns no rows. The probe 'smok' returns 23 rows at eight verses (15:27, 18:29, 41:11, 44:10, 55:15, 55:35, 56:43, 77:30): the smoke of fire, the heaven as smoke, a day of smoke and the shade of black smoke, none of them about smoking; they are recorded as not carried.
