Sheikh Abdul-Razak Adamo Thani, an Islamic Scholar from Nigeria, has advised Ghanaian youth against the abuse of drugs such as Tramadol.  Sheikh Thani said Islam speaks against the use of drugs for illicit purposes, hence it was a sin for one to go contrary to what the Holy Quran says. “The Holy Quran says do not kill yourself by using hard drugs, in Islamic laws it is forbidden for any child or for any youth to be using drugs that are not permissible in Islam,” he said. Sheikh Adamo made the call at a Ramadan Public Lecture organised by Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) in Accra during the weekend on the theme: “Islamic View Regarding Drug Abuse.” He noted that, drugs such as Tramadol was not a bad drug in itself but the way the youth have been over using it without prescriptions makes it a matter of concern.
