How to deal with
addiction?
Is there any hope for an addict? Be
it drugs,
alcohol,
or even *. Is there hope for an
addict? Of course, there's hope. As long as
you breathe in, there's hope.
There's hope for you to repent quickly. Quickly,
here many scholars say, means that as long
as you're living and you change, there is
hope. Now when we say to change, you
have to
make adjustments in your life. So when when
a youngster, for example, comes out of the,
rehab, I say to him, you have to
give up all your friend circle. No. I
cannot do that. No. Then you don't wanna
change.
Then Then you don't wanna
change.
If you want to change, then you have
to be ready to give up that network.
You have to get get give up that
phone. Because on that phone, there's that context,
there's those messages, there's that back and forth
thing. You have a * addiction, your phone
needs to become public property.
You need to go and do your work
in the kitchen. You need to do it
in in the room where anyone and everyone
has access. You can't have a private code
to it. Now if you choose to continue
to give safety and amnesty
and to to to give shelter and and
cover your wrong, then obviously the whispers will
will continue and you will continue doing the
wrong. So Allah says regarding the, they didn't
participate in Tabuk. And they said, oh, we
really wanted to. We so desperately wanted to.
Allah said,
If they wanted to participate,
there would have been active planning to participate.
The scholars say it means
if you claim something,
but you don't take steps towards it, that
means your claim is fake.
So I want to change. I want to
give up addiction. Of course, you can give
up. We just spoke about it, how how
people have done it in their life. But
then you need to break away from that
friend. You need to give up that device
totally. You need to deactivate your access to
that so that your access to Allah can
be opened up, and then you would see
that happening.
