We receive many messages on people trying to overcome porn addiction. Here’s some tips we can offer that will help you by the will of Allah.

1. Lower your gaze: This doesn’t mean only lower
your gaze from pornography, but rather lower your
gaze from any and every person you find
attractive. This means avoiding movies, television
programs or even Facebook pages where you will
come across such images, even if they’re only
subtle. Remember the Shaitan will come in tiny
discrete steps. Also note that it’s a lot easier to let
go at the beginning than it is once you’ve fallen
into something worse.
2. Fast Frequently: This is the advice of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) who taught us that fasting will
reduce your desire. If your desire is very strong,
then you should fast at least twice a week. Also
avoid eating heavily, as food (especially meat) will
always increase your appetite for desire.
3. Avoid being alone: The less you are alone, the
less chances you will have to fall into sin. If you
could also join a religious study circle and
constantly surround yourself with people who
remind you of Allah. Even if you are not doing
anything religious, just avoid being alone.
4. Attend the Masjid: We strongly recommend you
to visit the mosque every single day for at least for
one prayer. The Masjid is a refuge from sin and if
you are constantly in this environment, God willing,
you will change.
5. Prayer & Duaa: At the end of the day, Allah is
your main source of support. Try your best to pray
on time as this will help keep your iman in check
whenever you fall out. Always ask Allah to support
you and God willing you will get through this.
May Allah make it easy on all of us and protect
our young brothers and sisters.
