Stay Away from Drugs

Perhaps the following thought may have crossed the minds of many youth: "I am not on drugs. How do I keep away?"

The answer is simple - stay away from those who are involved in drugs. If anybody tries to push drugs onto you, say NO. Only a person with a weak personality who lacks courage will say "yes" to something that will destroy him and bring untold misery upon him and his family.

Be strong. Be firm. Do not become a weakling and succumb to the pressures of those who want to lead you onto the path of destruction. Your happiness will be destroyed. Your family will be tormented. You will be ruined. Emphatically say NO to drugs.

Stay in the company of the pious and keep occupied in Deeni activities. Insha Allah, you will be saved from this most terrible evil disease.
