How to Keep Away from Sins?
I seek protection in Allah, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, from the accursed shaytan. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. I stopped listening to music, and it's been months now since I properly quit, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah. I’m no scholar, so I can’t rule on it, but I stay away because it can eat up time, it’s kinda addictive, the Qur’an is a better alternative, and it might be sinful. Even though I’ve practically stopped, shaytan still tries to whisper and pull me back. How do I stay firm and not fall into his tricks? Anyone who’s struggled with other sins like drinking, drugs, overeating, gossiping, smoking, or zina, your advice and stories would be really helpful. Jazakum Allahu khayran. As always, assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
