Islam strictly prohibits its ummah from approaching things that can harm themselves and society such as drinking alcohol, gambling, corruption and drug abuse and all substances that impair the mind. This is because everything that intoxicates or removes sanity is haram or forbidden. Therefore, every individual must always protect themselves and stay away from getting involved in illegal drug abuse activities as such acts are not only prohibited by the Islamic and the country's laws, but can also cause various adverse effects on themselves and their close ones will also be exposed to other problems. The reminder was made during today's Friday Sermon titled, 'Drug Syndicates, The Universal Enemy'.

The negative impacts and harms caused by the abuse and trafficking of illicit drugs are it impairs the mind, damaging internal body organs and make it difficult to overcome the addiction. Worse still, drug addicts will resort to violence, vandalise property, and inflict injuries, ultimately destroying household institutions, devastating family harmony and adversely affecting the well-being of society. In addition, this symptom can also cause various social problems such as increasing crime rates and threatening national security and stability.
