QUESTION:
I’m trying my best to reform and refrain from sin. However, during the day I do so well with reading Salaah and Quraan etc. but in the evening, I can’t seem to stop watching some reels or episodes on YouTube. I’m struggling to stay away. Please assist and advise in this matter.
ANSWER:
In order to stop watching the reels or episodes, you will have to get rid of the device in the evenings. You should give it to some family member to keep it, and then return it in the morning. If the device is with you, the temptation will always be strong and there remains a strong possibility of watching. You should perform two Rakaats Salaatul Haajat daily, followed by 100 times Durood, then 500 times La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illah Billah, and then followed by 100 times Durood and Dua. You should try this prescription for a period of forty days, and Insha’Allah within this period you will be able to give up the sin. You should be strong and punctual with the above, otherwise the required results will not be achieved, even though you may be doing the Amal.
ALLAH TA’ALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!
