The issue of drug addiction is the most common symptom of society's disease right now. The problem of drug addiction has hit all walks of life, especially young people. Drugs undermine economy power and undermine national development by poisoning the minds and spirits of individuals to adapt to current needs and challenges. Drugs can be considered the root cause of all kinds of crime, the evils of domestic, community and national unrest. This is due to the lack of Islamic spiritual values in the addict.
