PRAISE BE TO ALLAAH.

One of the fitnahs (temptations) with
which we are tested is the fitnah of
women, as the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I
have not left behind me any fitnah
(temptation) more harmful to men than
women.” There follow some of the
methods by which we can avoid this
temptation. We ask Allaah to set the
affairs of the Muslims straight.

1. Lowering the Gaze and Avoiding looking at haraam things

The gaze can generate bad thoughts in
the heart, which then lead to ideas and
then to desires, then to will and resolve,
and then inevitably to doing haraam
things. Think about the meaning of this
verse which makes a connection between
the first steps towards haraam and the
end result. Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning):

“Tell the believing men to lower their
gaze (from looking at forbidden things),
and protect their private parts (from
illegal sexual acts). That is purer for
them. Verily, Allaah is All-Aware of what
they do”
[al-Noor 24:30]

2. Warding off evil thoughts
Bad thoughts pose a danger to the heart… If a person dwells on them and does not push them away, they will develop into an idea, then into will and resolve, then this will inevitably lead to haraam actions. Beware of dwelling on passing thoughts; rather what you must do is to ward them off and crowd them out with good thoughts. The treatment, then, is to ward off these passing thoughts and keep yourself busy with beneficial thoughts.

3. Keeping away from bad companions.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A man will follow the way of his close friends, so let each one of you look at who he takes as a close friend.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 8433; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 4046.

4. Keeping away from places of temptation.
It is obvious that we are living in a society that is filled with temptation – media of all types, magazines, flirting in the marketplaces, satellite TV, the internet, etc… So you have to flee from all of these in order to keep your religious commitment sound.

5. Trying to make the most of your time in worshipping and obeying Allaah.
Time is one of the great blessings that Allaah has bestowed upon His slaves, but there are many who are not making the most of it. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Two blessings which many people do not make the most of: good health and spare time.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6412.

6. Faith in Allaah.
Faith in Allaah and fear of Allaah provide a safety valve and protect a person against committing haraam actions and following his own whims and desires. If the believer becomes aware that Allaah is always watching and if he ponders the meanings of His names and attributes, such as the All-Knowing, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the Watchful, the Reckoner, the Preserver, the All- Encompassing, that will generate fear of Him in secret and in public, and will put a stop to disobedience towards Allaah, and will reduce the strength of desire that leads many people to commit haraam actions.

May ALLAH accept our forthcoming Ramadan fast Amin.
Salamalaekum.

Just get busy, find a dream and pursue it...

And there's nothing like sexual temptation, you are drawn by your own lust . The more you carry sexual sin in ur head like dada, the more you fall, and if u already did just move on

Unfortunately we all think we have limitless amount of time and good health thus we more often than not waste plenty of both on frivolous things. May Allaah save us.

Jazaka Allaah Khaeran.

Jazakumullahu Bil Khairan!

Jazakallahu khayran.may Allah accept all our prayers and grant us all our heart desires.Amin.

Nice one OP....May Allah reward you accordingly. Amin.

Quite a beautiful reminder op. Temptations are all over the place. Just like you said, with faith in Allah, fear of Allah sets in for the better. May Allah In His infinite mercies forgive us of our sins and continue to guide us unto the straight path.... Ameen

Wa alaikum salam warahmatullah wa barakatuh. Yes, a man can have as much fun as he likes with his wife after iftaar and just before sauhur during Ramadan. The month of Ramadan does not stop couples from enjoying themselves sexually as long as u did not break the fast because u want to have sexual intimacy with ur wife. In fact many couples are usually blessed with the fruits of the womb during the month of Ramadan. Ma salam
