A friend of a friend had a reeeaaally bad addiction. They tried everything under the sun, until it got to a point where they had to do crazy things to get pleasure and injured themselves one night. They broke down and cried in the middle of the night, embarrassed to go to a doctor, did some basic first aid and luckily wasn’t a serious injury. But they were so ashamed they just fell to the floor and made a loooong duaa, saying they don’t know what happened to get to this stage, they don’t want to be like this, and made Duaa to remove this sin. Then went and made wudu and prayed tahajjud. They swear that it worked. Ask them any day they say the best cure is tahajjud. Start with just short two rakaahs before fajr. And it’s like magic, slowly increase the dose of tahajjud and the length of duaa in tahajjud to purify yourself from this. Hands down the fastest and most effective way, and you can thank me later :)

What a beautiful outcome Allah found you lost, so He Guided you. Subhaan Allah❤ Allah has Infinite Mercy

[@Tazkiyah-j9n]

Yep, Tahajjud is the cure 100%. Porn is not the problem. The problem is lack of spiritual connection with Allah. The more you train your nafs in worship the less you'll fall for the traps of shaytan. Remember " life is battle between shaytan and the the children of Adam". Guys, don't give up and lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Allah wants Jannah for us!

It's a big issue for women too... we have no safe space to talk about our desires and urges during puberty and we definitely have no safe space to seek help for addiction... Men can talk about it very openly but we get judged and then people are disgusted by us but we need help and guidance too our need needs to be recognised as well :'(

Your struggle is equally important. Sisters must be able to speak about their issues and only fear the Almighty. Our community has to grow past the idea that sisters can't speak up about things. We don't have to go to the extremes of Western feminism, but we need the balance. Our community has to be realistic and understanding, and not judgemental.

[@rushialeema8321]

I would say, as a woman, it has become easier to worship, now I have worn headphones & blocked out all playing Music with Dhikr/Quran in my ears instead, banned it playing in the Car, or in my Home. I barely watch a movie. Romantic movies/books are arguably female porn . And I refuse to watch music on any video I watch online. Even a short. Lowering our gaze is step one for anyone. This one small change has changed life. If the Palestinians can strive so so hard for Allah alone, I can let go of Music/Movies for Allah & His Pleasure. My sacrifice is so small in comparison, since this Ramadan. But the effects? Amazing😊 I pray all Muslim content creators let go of Music, for their videos.

[@Abdullahfar]

Same here, I stopped all music since Ramadan & replaced it with Quran. Life's so much different, less anxiety & nourished spiritually. It's beautiful

[@catladyAR]

P*** ruined my marriage! I used to feel extremely hurt by my ex-husbands behavior around this! But after knowing more about how P*** and M******** addiction hijacks someone's brain, I feel sad for him now because I loved him and he refused therapy since he believed he is beyond recovery after 16 years of addiction! I wanted to believe otherwise! I know there was nothing else left to do from my end and his behavior made me question my own beauty and self worth which took a toll on my mental and emotional health! I wish and pray that Allah help him recover from this and have a better life forward! I pray that everyone who has this addiction can get out of this and have a healthy married life and be able to enjoy what's halal and please Allah! May Allah protect us all. Please don't get into marriage before fixing this issue. No one deserves to be devastated like I was.

[@ahmedfazel6682]

I found that reciting daily adhkars to protect myself from evil eyes, black magic and jinns also helped in reducing my temptations. Because now shaytan cannot whisper into your ears easily. You are protected by angels by Allah's permission

[@doloresmumin3151]

Allah swt knows his creation. Qur'an states one should lower their gaze, publicly or privately.

Respectfully, I don’t agree with the comment the one brother made about brothers going around rating women they see 7 out of 10 and stuff… not a single one of my friends has ever done something like that, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but I also don’t think it’s ok to generalize all guys do that… also sisters who see this, may think that’s normal, but no… this is why it’s important we keep good Muslim friends around us In Shaa’ Allah.

[@johntravis7304]

astagfirullah. I'm tired. Allah forgive me saying this but life would be so much easier without women I probably just need to disconnect from Internet for a year. But the western women just everywhere. I'm tired subhannallah. Allah forgive me.

[@rushialeema8321]

Allah put a healthy need in you, so you can one day find your spouse, and create a beautiful family together. So you can lead that home with strength. Allah placed this same need under layers of shyness & Hayaa in Women too. We are all struggling, trying to lower & purify our intention & gaze. And keep chaste. And utilise these single years to benefit those around us & our Akhirah. Keep great company. It truly has been the best help. And prepare now to find your spouse, if means will allow. Though these same temptations will still be around, trying to break your marriage too. You are NOT alone. 😅 Life is all a test

I find it strange that there is not a single government on this planet working towards an online bill in Parliament to get rid pornography as a whole from the Internet. The Internet is the number one shaitan in people's lives as much as it is looked at as a positive tool to use. All these sites tell you to do is to click and say if you are over 18 to continue. Anyone can click Yes. Remove porn from the Internet completely. But who is going to do that? Its an impossible task even if you have parental control at home

Corn addiction is a huge issue for women too...When it comes this topic, there are different genres of corn and both men and women watch different genres of corn..its not only a male related issue, its a female related issue as well... The thing is, it's a taboo when it comes to women, men can talk about it openly and seek help from professionals and therapists, but when it comes women, women won't talk about it openly like the men due to their shyness... Women need coverage and help too...

Hello, I always love your Islamic videos. 👍

[@blankeyezero]

For me, I observed that whenever I am anxious or bored, I turn to porn. Now, I just tell to myself that being anxious is normal. And that I want to live through this anxiousness, not make it go away. I turn to allah in prayer and that helps. I also avoid things that would stimulate that part of my brain as most of the time, those things are optional and can be avoided. But Wallah, its so much harder to do when you are younger

Y are these scholars do hung up about porn addiction when the unity of the ummah and keeping faith/eemaan in these dire times are far more critical and important...who cares about a bunch of no gooders watching porn?! Our Muslim leaders .and some mufti 's / scholars. Learned ppl of uslam have not used their voices at all about the real tests facing our ummah,or even offereing any duas for the people of Palestine or Sudan .. muslims all around the world are facing challenges that we need to talk about If we were united do you think the genocide would have gone on as long as it has.? I am not condoning addiction of any sorts but questioning it relevancy in the greater scheme of things . Right now we need our scholars to focus on our ummah as a whole Allah knows best

[@molaher5250]

These things are also relevant. It's a disease in society. Do you know our sins have an effect on the ummah? These sins also have an impact on what the ummah is going through. Are you familiar with the story of Musa A. S and the rain?

[@HAli3291]

The Self is far more important than the ummah. Fix onself then you can pour into society.

[@molaher5250]

Exactly. You must work on yourself first. The first battle and main one we fight is with our own nafs and shaitan.
