I smoke, fornicate, Gamble, bet etc, I find it difficult if not impossible to fast and stop these evil actions. I need advice

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm As-sabt, 19th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1447AH, Saturday, 11th October, 2025.

QUESTION: I smoke, fornicate, Gamble, bet etc, I find it difficult if not impossible to fast and stop these evil actions. I need advice please. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem. 


In response to this question, which many people are facing, let's note that one of the purposes of the practice of weekly and monthly fasting in Islam is to help us overcome our destructive habits and create positive and life-enhancing habits and thus prepare us to face the challenges of life.

Therefore, if you were to fast and turn to ALLAH Azzawajal for help, you can beat your fornication and other bad habits. We have weekly fastings on Mondays and Thursdays and monthly on the 13th, 14th and 15th of each Islamic month as our weapon against Satan. 


You can also do the same, but before doing that you must gather enough courage and inner strength by talking to yourself about the negative aspects of fornication and other haraam lifestyles mentioned in this question. No one can stop an unhealthy habit if they continue to glamorise it deep in their heart. 


After convincing yourself and creating enough self-motivation, you should turn to ALLAH Azzawajal through dhikr (remembrance of ALLAH). Thus, every time you are prompted to light a cigarette, to admire a passing sister or respond to a call of your girl/boyfriend, cancel that by repeating Subhaana ALLAAH (Glory be to ALLAH), al-hamdul lillaah (Praise be to ALLAH), ALLAAHU AKBAR (ALLAH is most Great), anytime you feel like fornicating, cheating, betting etc just do the above. You also need to beg ALLAH Azzawajal to give you enough power to overcome this MONSTER lifestyle. ALLAH Azzawajal is certainly with those who strive for excellence in virtuous deeds. So, visualise what you are praying for as already given to you. If you are sincere, you will be rewarded for your efforts. Islamic ways of life are hard, and yet it is easy for those whom ALLAH Azzawajal has made it easy. You can expect ALLAH Azzawajal to help you, if only you turn sincerely to HIM and surrender yourself to HIM.


This is not only for the questioner but for all those in any bad habit. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding us through our efforts to be good Muslims and keep protecting us from our bad habits_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...
