Thank you for speaking on this. I am unmarried F28 and I am finding it difficult finding a spouse while navigating asking about this. I am very fearful of marrying a man with this issue around my age, because it will ruin the halal intimacy I deserve and saved myself for. I pray Allah gives me someone who guards his chastity through all channels (eyes, mouth, and physical)

Great advice... One thing I would add is to learn about your triggers for any kind of addiction and try to eliminate them. For a lot of young people being bored is perhaps the biggest trigger so just try and engage yourself in other stuff and in sha Allah you will get out of it.

Thank you so much for having these discussions. I really appreciated the response that as parents we may go over board. My 2 oldest sons when they were 21 they both started drinking and with the first one I was hard as a stone. Don’t come home if you have been drinking ext… he went into the army and had a very hard time with alcoholism but when the second son started drinking it was Allah put me in a bubble and said” stop.. you have given it me so be quiet. If you say anything he will be fighting you and will not hear me” so as hard as it was I stayed silent through crazy calls in the middle of night when had been drinking… it lasted for 3 mths and o e day he came to me and said” I am not going to drink anymore… did you know iot does not make since… I spend all my money, endanger myself, am sick and don’t remember anything.” I had to nearly bite my tongue hue but I didn’t say anything just hugged him. To this day he does not drink!!! Alhumdulilah, Sapanallah!! Thank you for shedding light on what men need to do be good men and what women can see they should be looking for to have a good man. It’s all so last in our society today. May Allah Bless you and the words you are saying and bring a bountiful harvest back to our Umma🤗🙏

Great discussion. A lot of these addictions also come from unhealed trauma or abuse. Promiscuity is often a cause of some traumatic experience. Hopefully, with these conversions, it will open doors for proper healing for all issues.

So true. I’m recovering my addiction to pr0n too and it’s very difficult. Like any addiction, if something lewd accidentally comes up on my fyp for even a second, I feel like I’m spiralling. I feel incredibly guilty after. I’m trying my hardest like all my other brothers and sisters who are struggling with this. Allah is most Merciful.

@Disaster3nby may Allah make it easy. It takes small, firm steps. Self battle . Yes, you will go three steps ahead and four back sometimes, but you don't realize how much you're progressing by trying. Make the intention that you want to do it to please Allah and trust the process. When you're doing and trying for the sake of Allah and fighting yourself one day, it comes like a switch. And you realize you're better. The healing from traumas comes with it, too. It takes releasing, facing, and lots of courage. But most importantly, you strive to want better because you know that you deserve better. Good people trying to get rid of bad habits :)

May Allah reward you guys. I reverted to Islam last year and as a 23 year old in this world everything you touched on is things I been struggling with since I became Muslim. Maybe you guys on the next podcast can speak on someone new to Islam who is still struggling with sin and for example I try to pray my 5 prayers but some days if I smoke weed I feel almost embarrassed to pray I know our prayers are not valid for 40 days after consuming Intoxicants but my lord is the most compassionate and most merciful as he reminds us often so soon inshallah I completely stop smoking but if I do smoke should I still pray that same day. And before I reverted I was in haram relationship but now I want to make it halal and I’m just not financially ready to be able to marry and take care of a family now what’s some advice you can give a young person who wants to get married but not financially ready. May Allah protect and reward you guys.

Whatever sin you do, still pray! Thoughts about not being worthy of praying are from devil. Some of scholars said that it is like as if to say, i will not take a shower, because i am too dirty. This is exactly opposite, just keep praying with as much humility as you can, even if you sin the same say of even hour, and eventually God will pull you out from sins completely! I am also yet only on the way to become pure eventually and completely, by His permission, only the prayer will give the strength. After that, fasting also the amazing tool

I think it was the best advice that i got was, Whatever you are doing, just keep praying, on the days you slip up keep praying. Quitting an addiction is a process that takes time, don’t quit on quitting. You will have ups and downs, but the general trajectory will be positive. Allah rewards those who struggle in their path for goodness may allah reward you abundantly for your efforts. Ameen.

Exposure to pornography starts from cartoons/shows/billboards with just a little bit of skin of women here and there. Sleeveless dresses advertisement. This gets effected in a child's brain. And he starts wanting more and more and more. There is practically no guidance in this regards from parents (speaking from Pakistani perspective) We never just go full in porn, it always starts with some seemingly innocent things on television. I write this as someone who has struggled with this addiction. Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah SubhanWaTalla, I have been distant from that disgut for some time now, and these observations that quoted are from my experience. The level and subtly of faheesha that exits. Aadhubillah. May Allah save us. Save you kids from this. Be wary of the advertisement. Be wary of television.

Excellent and open discussion on a topic few discuss in a religious forum. May Allah bless the good Muslims on this forum. Ameen. (From observations on some people’s lifestyles and family life: Men who indulge in such things will never have a happy marriage or relationship with their Partner or even with the God they say they believe in. Women who subject themselves to cheap lifestyles, allowing themselves to be objects of pornography will never have self-compassion or self-respect due to their lowered standards. Teens who engage in these addictions will never fully mature nor will they have a happy future or respect for women--unless Allah guides these people towards good manners and love for Allah before anything else. (Many nihilistic misogynists who later do mass shootings have had such addictions). A fragmented home life is no excuse to become a violent or misogynistic or abusive personality. After the age of 18, people of civility can transform themselves, or blame their fragmented childhoods. Islam teaches no intoxicants or magic or witchcraft or gambling or alcohol for multiple wise reasons. Allah knows what is good snd what is shameful for the human soul, (unless the violent one is meant to be beast-like by destiny as an example for what not to be like). The California misogynist who stalked women and hated himself is an example of what not to be. Understatement, but it is a common phenomenon). To the still-good youth: Be strict on yourself before you are swept away by poor, evil and addiction-infested lost souls. Islamic prayers are definitely a life-saver. 🌴

Maa shaa Allah tabarakallah Allah humma barik. An eye opener. Subhanallah. Great topics. I think it's also important to understand, sometimes children who suffer sexual abuse may go on to watch pornography or develop haram relations. So there should be somewhere where they are able to reach out and seek therapy. In shaa Allah. Jazak Allah khair

I would like to say thank you all. This is sensitive subject matter. However the impact of psychological, emotional distress on the brothers who engage in porn- enactment in their relationship which has an impact on their wife, girlfriends. This also creates a behaviour of secrets , lies and this also can cause confusing of the brothers sexual identity. There is a psychological distress on the body and this also triggers to have unhealth sexual acts that are unclean. One suggestion is to maybe be a little more implicit of the impact porn on the whole existence of a man life, this also triggers power and control in their relationship. There is also the cases where brothers have this mindset ' oh this is not a big deal'. The beauty and humbleness of pure intimacy and understand the sacredness of intimacy and the blessing that blossoms when it is halal. Secondly, having the detachment from the illusion of the purpose of our this life and detachment to be in a the peaceful of salah, deep reflective process of daily observation of your thoughts behaviours and ego and really being honest of the external power of validation by another. The brother that was speaking to provide a safe space for brother to come and express their attachment of porn, I remember once saying to a group activity if all these thing is good why is their the shame to be able to speak about the challenges that we all may face in our life, we are human and fallible. As a sister I listen to Imam Cave, I am inspired to the openness and knowledge of each brother that flow through the dialogue to respect and integrity, To give yourself the space to seek the support and you're not alone. The psychological trauma of addiction of porn is real in society. Thank you so much, this much appreciative.

@12:00 I could have used one of those back in 2010>2020 era @49:10 This is a central curse, porn will destroy the natural desire you have for your life. PS: replace weed with fast food, and you have the modern dark triad. Porn. Gaming. Fast food. Why would you bother with anything else? Replacements I found: A) FFood > working out/lifting, cooking my own healthy food. Body builder level. B) Gaming > programming/writing/career 'side projects.' C) Porn > Won't be fixed until I get married I know. I just try to: 1. Get tired. 2. Think of my deceased mother. 3. Stay in public spaces. 4. Hard cut off speaking to women, including online. 5. Hard cut off content with skimpy females.

Great advice and I agree with almost all of your points and advice brother, But contrary to belief porn addiction wont be fixed with marriage, in fact many people find it destroys marriage & is one of the biggest reasons for divorce; because people have conditioned their mind to become aroused by the things they have consumed throughout the years so much so they dont have the same attraction to their wives and rely upon extreme dopamine hits from porn their wives cant compete with. Dealing with the underlying causes of addiction which can typically be: stress, depression, unfilfillment, lack of self confidence/self worth, anxiety, boredom, lack of ambiton etc, and becoming more disciplined, having a routine, fasting , praying etc and everything you are currently doing Is the better way, build yourself up to the man you are supposed to be so that when you meet the right woman you are the best version of yourself. All the best! May allah make it easy on us all Ameen
