Many young people interested in self-development wonder about a way to control their instincts, given the abundance of stimuli around them, and the spread of Satan’s traps and snares to trap them in many areas, and this makes them fear for their purity, serenity, and spiritual and health safety.

What do they do when they are at the university and there is mixing of genders?

What do they do about the irritants and temptations broadcast by channels and published by websites?

What do they do in the face of the fashions and hairstyles they see that encourage them to wear them in keeping with contemporary life and modernity?!

We direct your attention to these illuminations:

You must take control of yourself, so do not rush after every trend or be attracted to every sweet idea. Keep in mind that if you lose your ability to control your thinking, you will not benefit from any advice or guidance. You must look to control your thinking: Is it in your hand? Or in the hand of your friend?! Or is it in the hands of a certain party that manipulates your thinking and feelings?!!

Think: What comes after pleasure? Will you still have consequences for which you will be held accountable in the afterlife? And diseases that accompany you to the end of your life?! Perhaps a meal prevents other foods, or perhaps an hour's pleasure that leads to regret until death?! Use this important strategy above all else. What comes after pleasure?

When you make a mistake or do something forbidden, try to compare your feelings before and after the mistake you made, and be the judge. Hence, you should establish a fixed procedure for yourself when you make a mistake, so you must appear before the court of conscience, and punish yourself with what you see as discipline. And as a deterrent to it, and know that if you neglect this aspect, you will lose the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood! Rather, do not bother to commit the most horrific mistakes! So, be careful about this accounting procedure. Because it will restore your spiritual vitality and the purity of your heart.

Deal with caution with the sources surrounding you. You have three sources in front of you that you find yourself taking from without hesitation: family, friends, and the media in its various forms, including satellite channels and websites.

Emptiness is considered the fertile ground for arousing instincts and falling into what arouses them, and emptiness is the key for Satan to enter a young mans mind, by dragging him into ugly practices, especially in private, so be firm in your resolve from the beginning of your day not to be empty of any work and activity, so learn, teach, benefit others, and practice your legitimate hobbies.

Excessive sleep, eating, and staying up late are three outlets that, if they are excessive, will cause the young man to face psychological and health problems, and will waste his time in a useless manner. Therefore, medicine and Sharia law urge moderation in them. Food should be limited to three meals, and the Prophetic method should be observed: “One third is for food, one third is for drink, and one third is for for breathing,” and limit your sleep to eight or seven hours at night and an hour or less in the middle of the day, and beware of staying up late except for useful work such as praying for worship and reciting the Qur’an, or being busy with reading or learning a useful skill.

Lowering one's gaze is the main way to protect oneself from getting involved in forbidden things. The fire of wishing and imagination burns within young people from looking at the other party with a poisoned look or watching morally degrading pictures and movies. We advise you not to acquire a special device and rely on household appliances that are used by the general family members, and use them in the Publicly Without hiding, this will motivate you to be more disciplined.
