3. WHAT IS DRUG ADDICTION?
Drug addiction is a complex brain disease. It
is characterized by compulsive, at times
uncontrollable, drug craving, seeking, and
use that persist even in the face of extremely
negative consequences. Getting addicted to
drugs is also a form of sucide as it spreads its
poison and damages the body slowly.

4. Quran Says:
“And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allah is Most
Merciful to you.”
(Surah Nisa:29)

5. The Prophet SAWW Said:
“Whoever kills himself with an iron tool, then his tool will be
in his hand and he will keep stabbing himself with it in
the Fire of Jahannam, forever and ever. Whoever kills
himself with poison, then his poison will be in his hand
and he will keep taking it in the Fire of Jahannam forever
and ever. Whoever kills himself by throwing himself from
a mountain, will keep falling in the Fire of Jahannam
forever and ever.”
(Tafsir Ibn Kaseer Surah Nisa ayah # 29)
This Hadith was collected in theTwo Sahihs.
