CAN DO

5 quick tips to beat up

Pornography Addiction.
Introduction

Some people believe that they can no longer find a solution regarding their
addiction to Porn. They are fed up with being stuck in the same cycle for many
years.

Someone emailed me a while ago apologizing for that fact that he CANNOT
proceed with the plan of quitting Porn, masturbation and undesirable sexual
activities. Not because he is rebellious or a pervert, but rather because he
does not believe that he CAN DO anything more to change his lifestyle for
good.

At the same time I have observed a lot of websites and organizations who are
coming up with a lot of plans to help those who are desperate and want to live a
life of purity. One of these websites is dedicated to the protection of kids from
accessing these filthy websites. It is called Protect Young Minds.

This website recently designed a creative poster titled “CAN DO” where every
letter of these two words represents a concept that could help you in a great
way to quit this compulsive habit and live a life of freedom that you always
wanted.

I borrowed the Idea from them, then added some Islamic touches :) - So here
is the recipe.
1.C l o s e Y o u r E y e s

This is by far, is the best remedy for those who are suffering from Porn
addiction, which is to close your eyes or to lower them when you see
anything provocative. Allah SWT said in the Qur'an that this simple act could
protect us from ZINA/immorality and shameful sexual activities.

“Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their
private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is acquainted with
what they do. And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their
vision and guard their private parts…”

Qur'an 24:30-31
2.Alw a y s t r u s t i n
Allah

Don't ever think that Allah SWT has abandoned you. Trust in Him and in His
power continuously. Trust that He alone is the Curer as declared by Prophet
Ibrahim PBUH

‫ﻦ‬
ِ ‫ﻔﻴ‬ ْ َ‫ﻮ ﻳ‬
ِ ‫ﺸ‬ َ ‫ﻬ‬ َ ‫ﺖ‬
ُ ‫ﻓ‬ ُ ‫ﺿ‬
ْ ‫ﺮ‬ َ ‫وإ ِذَا‬
ِ ‫ﻣ‬ َ

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.

Qur'an 26:80

Yes, Pornography could easily damage your brain as suggested by science

today.
Recently, Republican delegates from the United States of America have
voted unanimously to include pornography as a "Public health crises that is
destroying the lives of millions" - As you can see, it is not something that
should be taken lightly, but at the same time, it is not impossible with Allah
SWT to get you out of your misery.

Let us practice the level of Trust that was granted to all the Prophets of Allah,
peace be upon them. Trust in Allah like Ibrahim PBUH and how calm he was
when he was thrown in the fire, believing wholeheartedly that Allah SWT is
going to save him. Trust like Musa PBUH and how confident he was when
Pharaoh and his people were chasing him and the believers to kill them. Look
at their conversation as recorded in the Qur'an:

َ َ ‫ﻗﺎ‬
‫ﻲ َرﺑﻲ‬
َ ‫ﻌ‬ َ ‫ل ﻛ َﻼ إ ِن‬
ِ ‫ﻣ‬ َ ‫ﻗﺎ‬ ُ َ ‫ﻰ إ ِﻧﺎ ﻟ‬
َ ‫ﻤﺪَْرﻛ ُﻮ‬
َ ‫ن‬ ٰ ‫ﺳ‬ َ ‫ﻣﻮ‬ ُ ‫ب‬
ُ ‫ﺤﺎ‬
َ ‫ﺻ‬
ْ ‫لأ‬ َ ‫ن‬
ِ ‫ﻌﺎ‬
َ ‫ﻤ‬ َ ْ ‫ﻓﻠ َﻤﺎ ﺗ ََﺮاءَى اﻟ‬
ْ ‫ﺠ‬ َ
‫ﻦ‬ِ ‫ﺪﻳ‬ِ ‫ﻬ‬ْ َ ‫ﺳﻴ‬
َ

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses
said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!" [Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with
me is my Lord; He will guide me."

Qur'an 26:61-62

Trust like Maryam PBUH when she was accused in her chastity and how
confidently she pointed to her noble son, Eisa/Jesus PBUH who spoke from
the cradle to defend her honour. Trust like Muhammad P B U H who
comforted his companion, Abu Bakr RA when the disbelievers of Makkah
were chasing them right before the migration to Madeenah. It has been
mentioned in the Qur'an:

‫ﻓﻲ‬
ِ ‫ﻤﺎ‬
َ ‫ﻫ‬ ِ ْ ‫ﻲ اﺛ ْﻨ َﻴ‬
ُ ْ‫ﻦ إ ِذ‬ َ َ‫ﻦ ﻛ‬
َ ِ ‫ﻔُﺮوا ﺛ َﺎﻧ‬ َ ‫ﺬﻳ‬ِ ‫ﻪ اﻟ‬ ُ ‫ﺟ‬َ ‫ﺧَﺮ‬ْ َ ‫ﻪ إ ِذْ أ‬
ُ ‫ﺼَﺮهُ اﻟﻠـ‬ َ َ ‫ﻘﺪ ْ ﻧ‬ َ ‫ﻓ‬
َ ُ‫ﺼُﺮوه‬
ُ ‫إ ِﻻ ﺗ َﻨ‬
‫ﻌﻨ َﺎ‬َ ‫ﻣ‬َ ‫ﻪ‬َ ‫ن إ ِن اﻟﻠـ‬ ْ َ ‫ﻪ َﻻ ﺗ‬
ْ ‫ﺤَﺰ‬ ِ ِ ‫ﺣﺒ‬
ِ ‫ﺼﺎ‬َ ِ‫ل ﻟ‬ ُ ‫ﻘﻮ‬ ُ َ ‫ر إ ِذْ ﻳ‬ َ ْ ‫اﻟ‬
ِ ‫ﻐﺎ‬

If you do not aid the Prophet - Allah has already aided him when those
who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they
were in the cave and he said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed
Allah is with us..."
Qur'an: 9:40

When Allah is with you, no one and nothing could go against you. Trust in
Him and insh a Allah you will be able to overcome your addiction.
3.N e v e r G i v e u p

I know of many people who were able to win the battle against Pornography.
Can you tell me what the difference is between them and YOU? Absolutely
NOTHING, other than their determination to finish off this chapter of their
life and start a new one full of obedience to Allah and full of purity of all
kinds. The difference is that they have REFUSED to give up and decided, no
matter how many times they may relapse, they will stand up again and fight
back. And as a result they were able to defeat their addiction. Giving up on
yourself would mean that you have given up hope in Allah's mercy. Don't
ever allow yourself to reach to this level. Allah said:

ِ ‫م اﻟ ْﻜ َﺎ‬ َ ْ ‫ﻪ إ ِﻻ اﻟ‬ َ
‫ن‬
َ ‫ﻓُﺮو‬ ُ ‫ﻮ‬
ْ ‫ﻘ‬ ِ ‫ح ا ﻟ ﻠـ‬
ِ ‫و‬
ْ ‫ﻣﻦ ر‬ ُ ‫ﻪ َﻻ ﻳ َﻴ ْﺄ‬
ِ ‫س‬ ُ ‫إ ِﻧ‬

...Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving

people.

Qur'an 12:87
4.Distract
Your self

When you are distracted by thoughts or flashbacks of Pornographic images

and films, all you need to do is to DISTRACT YOURSELF towards something
that is more beneficial to your soul. You will need to divert your attention to
that which you already like and enjoy doing, things such as; reading, taking a
walk, writing, watching documentaries, cooking, making a cup of tea, the list
is endless. The secret formula for getting back to focus is to REPLACE the
evil with something pure and productive.

ِ ‫ﻦ اﻟﺴﻴﺌ َﺎ‬
‫ت‬ ِ ْ‫ت ﻳ ُﺬ‬
َ ْ ‫ﻫﺒ‬ ِ ‫ﺴﻨ َﺎ‬ َ ْ ‫إ ِن اﻟ‬
َ ‫ﺤ‬

Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. Qur'an 11:114

5.Open up

Don't ever be ashamed of reaching out to a trusted friend, parents, a spouse

or professional coaches to help you. It is nearly impossible for you to fight the
battle on your own. You will definitely need some support from those who
will not judge you or expose your secrets. And once you found them, don't
ever let go of them.

And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord
in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not
your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and
do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our
remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in]
neglect.

Qur'an 18:28
Don't wait for later, tomorrow is never guaranteed so start implementing
the CAN DO plan and In Shaa Allah in a matter of a few months you will
be able to see the changes.
