Worshippers are being urged to unite in the fight against narcotics through a sense of shared responsibility.
Dubai: Mosques across the UAE will dedicate Friday’s sermon on June 26, 2026, to highlighting the dangers of drug abuse and urging worshippers to help combat narcotics through prevention, awareness, and community responsibility.
According to an announcement by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat, the sermon titled “The Scourge of Drugs” will emphasize that preventing drug abuse is a shared responsibility.
The sermon will remind worshippers that everyone is accountable for those under their care, citing the Islamic principle: “Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible for his flock.”
The authority said the sermon supports the UAE’s nationwide anti-drug campaign launched under the theme “United as One to Eradicate the Threat,” encouraging the public to cooperate with authorities in protecting society from the dangers of narcotics abuse.
It will also emphasize the importance of raising awareness, shared responsibility, and support for rehabilitation, noting that the door to repentance remains open and treatment is available for those seeking to overcome addiction.
