Bad Habits could not be finished immediately. There will be exceptions but mostly they take time to leave. Mostly they cannot be avoided instantly.
I remember a scene from one of the movies that murderer placed a pillow on the mouth of sleeping victim and forced him to death. Well there are other methods too depending upon the situation, but the described one, proved to be very quiet and effective.
That’s the way to fight satin; our courage, devotion and dedication will become our force. Now must be true to ourselves and find out ways to get rid of bad habits.
Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.
I am sure Allah will inshahallah guide us all in the right way. Amin.

Shameful Acts
Few days back, I bought a shirt for myself. It was a bit costly than the average. I was very excited about wearing it the first time. Unfortunately, while ironing, it burnt a little. I was stunned and was in a fix that what will happen now. I considered myself as doomed and all my joys and excitement went off suddenly. My mood remained off for the next whole day. I thought of giving it to any needy person for whom that burnt will not matter, but a brand new “costly” unworn shirt; how? The heart was filled with so much regret for that shirt.
I realized in those moments, how difficult it is for me to give a ‘new, relatively costly’ thing in the name of Allah (which is actually for my own benefit).
Most of the times, whenever Quran talks about the orders of giving up life in the fight for truth, It uses the term “ Jan Aur Maal” ( Soul and riches). Talking about the term “Maal” or money, for human beings like me, it is not very easy always to even fulfill this order too. I shared my own example of this shameful act, which clearly shows the weakness of my faith.

All About Doubt
Suppose you have a car, you know how to drive it and you also know your destination, then
· Either will you follow the advices of others about your journey
· Or undertake the journey by yourself.
You will prefer not to do the whole venture by yourself, only when you have some doubts. To clear those doubts you will consult any specialist.
“…So hasten towards all that is good…” (Ch-2; V-148)
“Race with one another in hastening towards forgiveness from your Lord (Allah)…” (Ch-57; V-21)
Assume that you are doing job in an office. You will have to be very strict about your office timings so that you could never miss daily attendance. For making sure about this punctuality you will have to calculate that how much time it takes you to reach your office from home. So you will start your journey with a proper plan and strategy in mind (if you become late). You will follow the same routine for almost all your ‘working life time’.
You know why? Because each time you will follow them (the plan), you will be very sure about them and the consequences they may have. It is in human mind, as proved by science that,
“Whenever we show low performance, it is either because we are not interested, or we have some doubts.”
· We call ourselves Muslim, because Quran told us.
· We call our religion as Islam, because Quran told us.
It shows clearly that we are accepting these two things from Quran without any doubt and that is why none of us can neglect these two realities .i.e. (the word) Islam and (the word) Muslim. So why we get confused about other things Quran told us to do? Either we are not interested in them or we have some doubts? We Muslims believe in Quran and we all can never say that we are not interested in It. So the only thing remains is ‘Doubt’.
Don’t we have time to clear these doubts?
“And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember; then is there anyone who will remember (or receive admonition)?” (Ch-54; V-17)
“Certainly, We have made his (Quran) easy in your tongue, in order that they may remember.” (Ch-44; V-58)
“…Thus Allah makes His verses clear to you, that you may be guided.” (Ch-3; V-103)
