Request:
AsalamuAlaikum Ya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim,
Ya Mawlana Hisham, eshaykh staff! Ya Mawlana I would like to request you to pray for me to get rid of the bad act of looking at pornography and masturbating. The problem is, whenever I am alone I feel like watching such things like pornography. Then lust fills me and then I masturbate. After that I feel repentant and cry. I involve in this same act again after some days. I have tried many times to protect myself from it but nafs/shaytan make me unsuccessful all the time. That’s why I am requesting you to help me ya Mawlana. I feel very shy to tell you about my problem. It has been 2 years since I started to involve in this act. I am not 18 years old yet.
Ya Mawlana please help me. Pray for me to be a pious, practicing, good Muslim and get rid of this haram act.
Response:
`Alaykum Salam,
Spend time in group dhikr, suhba of Mawlana, mosque and other good company. Remove internet from your room. Fast and pray Salat al-Najat before fajr. Be a fan of cold showers until you are ready to marry.
