By December 2016, there were over 15000 Muslims in U.K prisons making up 15% of the entire prison population. That number is considerably high since Muslims make up only 4% of the general population.
Among the many offences for which they were convicted, drugs offences contributed to 35% of Muslims being imprisoned. This is an alarming statistic and requires our attention. Tenable solutions need to be found and these issues must be addressed.
This weeks khutbah titled 'Extreme vices: Drug trade and it's consumption' attempts to shed some light on the drug problem in Muslim communities in attempt to bring about change.
Please listen and share with all.
Jazakum'Allah.
