du'a to break bad habits?

[nyerekareem]

:salam2:

does any one here know of any du'a for breaking bad habits? i have one bad habit that i'm trying to give up and i am having a hard time. i have tried the unislamic advice given to me. not that the advice was haraam, it's just that it wasn't from a spiritual perspective. i'm sure that an islamic solution would work. this bad habit is bothering me so much. i'm doing everything that a muslim should do but this. i won't say what the habit is. however part of the problem is that a long time ago a brother from lebanon told me that it wasn't haram neither was it halal, so there's no worry in it. i didn't disagree with him then, but today i just don't feel right about that approach.

i once had a bad habit too... but i don't anymore. you know what i did to stop the bad habit... i just stopped myself each time. no matter how tempted you get just don't do it.... find something else to do... if you have to tell someone you know that you want to stop this habit.. maybe they will stop you. if don't want to tell anybody than you should be constantly around ppl that would be disapproving of your habit... and you would be too ashamed and you would have no time to think about ur habit.


i hope this helps
ma'salaam

salaam alikom,

I hope this will help inshallah, '
first make tawbah to Allah s.w.t with sincer heart and decide and promise Allah you will not go back to it, and stay on your promise, if in case you break your promise remeber who you breaking your promise with and then make tawbah but this time you have to make tawbah from the habit and for breaking your promise to Allah s.w.t

#2 Promise your self if you do this habit every time you will pay 50$ or more as Sadaqh since the Sadaqh distinguish the Sin as water distinguish the fire, so every time you do the wrong habit you will have to make tawbah and pay charity

#3 You have to pray salah of tawbah, since every time you will be doing the wrong habit remember Allah might noting on your heart with black spot and if you pray 2 rak3ah and ask Allah forgivness it will go a way inshallah.

#4 every time you do it pray long night prayer Tahjud.

wa Allah A3lem

first, whatever ur bad habbit is, if u feel it is bad and want to get ridd of it, be happy because it is a honor to know our bad things, be aware of them, it's the first step to cure them , so u have already done more than half of the job

second, i think never do any promise to Allah such as, if i do something, i promise i'll do this and that to be forgiven, because if u don't suceed in the beggining, u'll accumultate other sins, like breaking a promise ....

for the rest, nobody can really help u until u decide urself to help ur state, i know there are many great ppl around u, they have a positive influence on us, but we can't change ourselves just due to them, we have to make the biggest effort, so first of all, rely on urself, respect urself and your soul, and put ur trust in Allah, and even if it takes time, never give up anything, me you see, many times sheytan has put waswasas in my mind, but i think i 'm so tiny at earth scale, solar esystem scale, universe scale, i'm some insignificant point, i was born , i will die, ppl will cry some days, and eventually, i'll be forgiven forever, and i'll be lying alone in my grave, so i have to make the necessary things to become good and stay ready, and prepare my bag of this journey alone, i must be insignificant, but Allah SWT is so Mercifull that if i ask a duaa, i know He is the One Who Listen to His humans prayers,

i pray for u because i know how it is when u want to get rid of something and it becomes out of control , it is the same for me for waswasas, but see, it is such a beautifull mission to take this mission of becoming good, it's the best mission ,

wassalam

Asslamo Allaikum,

Pick up an alternative GOOD habit that takes the same amount of time, exercise, sports, reading etc.!

Direct substitution.

Job done.
