A Story of Regret and Hope — The Hidden Dangers of Pornography

 💔 A Story of Regret and Hope — The Hidden Dangers of Pornography

As-Salāmu ‘Alaikum wa Rahmatullāhi wa Barakātuh,

My dear brothers and sisters,

I want to share a story that carries a strong lesson for every Muslim youth and adult.

It is the story of a person who fell into the trap of watching indecent videos at a young age. What began as curiosity slowly grew into an addiction.  For years, he would spend his time alone in darkness, glued to a screen, while his heart drifted away from Allah.

At first, it looked harmless.  But over time, it stole his peace, his memory, his concentration, and even his connection with Allah.

He lost interest in Qur’an, lost his focus in salah, and his heart became empty.  Sin began to look normal.  Even marriage did not stop the habit, and it destroyed his relationship, his health, and his Iman.

Now he cries, regretting every moment, wishing he could go back and warn his younger self never to start.

🕋 My beloved brothers and sisters,

This is not a story to shame anyone — it is a wake-up call.

Pornography is a poison to the soul. It kills modesty, weakens faith, and traps the heart in guilt and darkness.

If you have fallen into it, know that the door of tawbah (repentance) is still wide open.

Allah says:

> “O My servants who have wronged their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.”

(Surah Az-Zumar, 39:53)

🌸 Here’s what you can do today:

1. Repent sincerely and cry to Allah for forgiveness.

2. Delete all materials that lead you to sin.

3. Avoid isolation — keep yourself busy with Qur’an, prayer, and productive work.

4. Seek help from a trusted scholar or counselor if the addiction is strong.

5. Make dua daily — “O Allah, purify my heart and protect me from sin.”

Remember, shayṭān wants you to believe you can’t change — but Allah promises that He can renew your heart no matter how deep the sin.

May Allah forgive us, strengthen us, and protect our eyes, our hearts, and our generations from this disease.

Ameen. 🤲🏼
