Practical Steps to Fight Addiction
by Hadhrat Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat damat barakatuhum
Many of us will still feel that we have certain sins in our lives that we are addicted to and cannot leave. We are made to feel by Shaytān that we will be able to leave sins, but not all. In this case, we should use the following prescription:
- Let us start by at least resolving to remove all sins from our lives. The thought of addiction should not stop us from at least resolving.
- After making a firm resolution, let us try to put an immediate stop to all the sins that are easy to leave. Shunning these sins will remove an immense amount of darkness from our hearts and bring about spiritual strength.
- Thereafter make a list of those sins that are difficult to leave, and try to slowly, one by one, purify our lives from them.
- For support, contact and connect yourself to a Shaykh (expert in the field of tazkiyah) who will be able to guide you on how to leave sins. Under his guidance you will be able to overcome the hurdles you face. In the initial stages, one may not be able to follow all the Shaykh’s instructions, but things will slowly fall into place, and after some time, one will, inshā’allāh, become a muttaqī servant of Allāh ta‘ālā.
