𝗠𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 (116)

Looking at Haram and its Evil Consequences One man—may Allah forgive both him and us—shared what he suffered because of looking at forbidden things. He said: "I started seeing all women the same way, whether they were on my phone, in the market, on the street, in parks, or in shops. I would constantly have lustful thoughts about them. My eyes would not stop wandering from one woman to another. If I ever had the chance, I might even have fallen into an immoral relationship with them, even in the street. I seek Allah's protection." He also said: "Sometimes, while I was praying, the videos I had watched would appear vividly in my mind. It was as if I were watching them again with my own eyes." He continued: "When I was with my wife, I would remember the women I had watched. I would imagine they were with me instead, so I could no longer truly focus on or appreciate my wife." He also said: "I felt constant tightness in my chest. My life felt restricted. My income seemed limited, and my livelihood felt difficult. I could never settle into a stable life. Whenever I started a job, I would soon leave it. When I prayed, I had no concentration or peace. When I went home, I found no joy in spending time with my wife and children. Wherever I went, it felt as though the world itself rejected me." He added: "I was determined to stop looking at forbidden things. I would quit, then go back. Quit again, then go back. This happened over and over. I even swore by Allah many times that I would never return, but I still did. I promised to fast if I fell back into it, yet I returned again. It was an addiction beyond description. In the end, I kept turning to Allah in sincere prayer, asking for His help, until He helped me overcome it. After that, my life changed for the better." He mentioned many other things, but these are what I remember, and they are enough [as a deterrent], Allah willing. Transmitted by Abu Abdillah Ziyad Al-Mulaiki Source: https://t.me/Menzbenefits/486
