Abu Taymiyyah – Questioner Asks How I Can Overcome Pornography

So how can a young man today

get rid of addictions and * and so

on and so forth.

It's, of course, a very widespread

problem that a lot of the youth are

facing. Right?

Normally we advise with a number of things.

Number 1,

which is called the spiritual

disease and its cure there's even a book

I put it on my Twitter yesterday, Kashar

Jamaruddin Usman from Nairobi.

He once I mentioned this in the q

and a, and this is a book that

I love. I always like to go through

it. So then we posted it. It's in

English. It is one of the best books

on this topic that you will find.

Aslan Sheikh Mil Qayyim,

wrote this book as a response

to someone who asked a question about a

sin that they were going through.

Right? And he said in the question that

if I don't find a solution, it will

destroy my dunya and akhira.

Hatashah Abduzak, he used to teach this in

the haram.

Right? Allah, it changed my life, it changed

my perspective and how I look at people's

problems.

So in it

he

says,

Right? From the most beneficial of cures is

what?

In your sujood, qiyamulayil,

when you wake up in the last set

of the night, you make sense and say,

dua, you Allah help me get rid of

this sin.

Right?

Second thing is that we advise you to

read this book.

It talks about the consequences and the effects

of sin.

Right. It talks about the consequences and the

effects of sin.

Number 3,

you know, they say it's one thing identifying

the problem, it's another finding the solution.

First, we have to identify the problem, right?

And part of finding the solution is,

what is causing me now to fall into

the sin? We should get a pen and

paper. I normally tell the shayab, you get

a pen

and paper,

write down the sins that you have,

and then next to it write, what is

causing the sin?

What is the reason that I'm falling into

the sin?

Is it maybe because of a phone? Is

it maybe because I'm alone all the time?

Araft.

What is the reason?

A lot of the time is because

maybe it is Instagram,

maybe it is TikTok or lie some of

these,

apps are problematic.

It is the root cause for * addiction

later on.

It starts off now you are following a

lady.

Right? You are following some of these celebrities,

this,

and

then you want more halas. You got bored

of it, you want something more intense, then

he moves on to what?

That which is free free *.

And then when he's finished watching one of

the videos, then he starts paying for it,

and then he destroys

it. What is causing me not to fall

into this Haram? I have to identify it.

Does that make sense?

It might be that we are have to

get

for a period, we put away this

phone

and we use the,

what do you guys call the Nokia

they call it the trap phone in the

UK the one that the drug dealer have?

From the UK. Where in the UK?

London,

parking.

You already know the chat phone. They have

the chat phone there, the Nokia. You know

the one that we used to have? The

snake.

Yeah.

You need to have that for a period

of time.

If it's maybe because you are alone, shaitanu

akrabilla

wahamil

3, shaitan is closer to 1 than 2.

Right?

So, try to maybe move away from being

alone all the time. Be around people, go

to the masjid, try to busy yourself with

something.

I always advise the shabab against living alone.

Oh, lying, living alone is a problem.

Shaitan is very close to you when you

are alone.

So we have to identify.

It varies from person to person.

All we also advise after that is every

time you fall into that sin, go make

wudu

and then pray torakaat every time.

If you do that every time you fall

back into our sin, it's only a matter

of time

that you get rid of the sin.

If Allah sees that goodness and He will

give it to you.

Does that make sense?

Show Allah that you really want it, even

if you fall back into the sin,

no matter how many times, You

keep returning back to Allah.

Right? With the dua, with everything else that

I said, Insha'Allah, it's a period of time.

Psychologists, they say it takes maybe, what, 21

days.

Right?

21

days, maybe 25, 30 days that you

stay like this without the phone or without

that thing that is causing you to read

that book. It's on my Twitter.

I put the link.

And Insha'Allah,

you will overcome it,
