Muslim fapstronauts

Hey,

I am a Muslim too or at least I have faith in god but I don't know if you can call me a practicing Muslim I think not which I'm not proud of. I did many bad mistakes. Often I didn't pay so much attention on my hygiene for example by PMO-ing. But now I want to make a change and you're right. Ramadan is approaching and we're not going to fail it. I always used to try to fast as long as I could. I want to exclude PMO from my life forever but on Ramadan I want to pay attention particularly. I recognized that since I've started PMOing regularly I became a worse person. Really unsatisfied and unhappy. I never dealt with my religion intensively.

But I look forward to keep watching your thread.

Thank you.

 

Hey, I'm a new Muslim, I converted last year. But I am just now starting to really learn and practice my faith better. I'm new to these forums as well. It's cool that this was one of the first ones that came up.

 

I have had a PMO problem for about 10 years now. My biggest concern right now is P, which is why I'm rebooting. I'm not entirely sure how our faith handles PMO, but I recognize it as a problem for myself and I want to make this change.

 

Thanks for your reply Taqwaman,

I never read books about this but I've already inquired myself about issues and processes in our brain which get caused by porn to our personality and brain by watching videos about it.

You are absolutely right. Knowing what PMO leads to, changes your angle of view totally and let you know how it really works beyond our screens. In reality.

This might change your whole attitude about this.

Best regards

Thank you very much for the videos. Congratulations for reaching day 31. That's really nice and you are on the right path. Keep doing and don't stop.

Also thanks for worrying and asking about me, that means me a lot.

It all started some years ago when I was approximately 12 years old. You have to know that I grew up with a computer so that I always was connected to the internet and this stuff until I found arousing content on filthy internet sites which made me curious. It satisfied me and I didn't really know it was wrong or didn't care about it a lot so that an addiction developed. My consumption increased and over the years my view on females changed dramatically. I recognized how hard it was to not visit such a site and to avoid PMO. My regular consumption caused an addiction and I lost my faith on god more and more. My hearth got tougher and tougher until I wasn't able to feel anymore.

Simultaneously to that I've been addicted to computer games and computer in general. I played hours a day and in-between times I used to watch this stuff you know. Then I made a change with the help of my older brother. He helped me to quit playing computer games entirely. This took place when I was approx 15 years old I guess. Since then I did never play regularly anymore. Sometimes I played at most about 1 hour every 3 months but I totally lost the interest of playing any kind of computer games. For me it was a great success. But unfortunately I wasn't only benefiting of that. I had no replacement for the time I usually would spend by playing computer games. So a big boredom developed which is why I'm here now. Because of that boredom I always became aroused out of nowhere. For example when I was laying on my bed not unsuspecting what to do. These kind of situations mainly lead me to PMO. Or when I was bored in front of the computer in the middle of the night.

Well OK, you could say: Ok, why don't you look for any kind of hobby or passion to do to have a replacement ?

Actually I tried a lot of times but I have no pleasure to do anything at all. Nothing interests me. Always when I try to start something I instantly break it up after a while again. For example programming. After almost one month of learning I broke up cause of sloth. I think this pronounced indecision is caused and strengthened by PMO.

Now I'm still trying to banish PMO from my life entirely to ameliorate my faith, family-life and lifestyle. And also to finally find a passion to do so that I don't have to waste time while doing nothing, anymore.

Best regards

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

Thanks brother for starting this much needed thread with Ramadan nearing. I'm a Muslim (Alhumdulillah 5 times salah now) and doing this. You can find my story on my journal here.

By the way for some reasons I'm mostly alone these days and am still able to get results by the Grace of Allah.

 

hello brothers Great thread, I am also an Muslim, trying to beat my demons and be good Muslim to the world, am trying to get rid of my fetish problem

 

I am also a muslim. I have been struggling with PMO for 16 months.I am really taking it seriously this time to reach Ramadan clean.

 

We will be glad to do so.The no water is usually the hardest but to reduce this difficulty we drink water and eat some food which is rich in fluids ( sohoor meal) just before Fajr Prayer.It also gets easier with time , I have been fasting Ramadan since I was 5 years old , so it's not really a challenge now.

 

I'll have to look up when sunrise and sunset are in my area. I'm glad I have you on my side, Kurapika. Huge respect for all of you who have been doing this since childhood. I wish my own religion would emphasize fasting more.

So fruit and lots of water for breakfast. Sound likes something I can do.

 

السلام عليكم to all

Masturbating was and still an issue for me since I was 13 so almost 17 years now and the only time I was able to stop it for 3 months was when I fully practiced islam for 3 months and went to the gym as well and during this time the month of ramadan was also present. Here are my tips on how to refrain by practicing islam

1- Praying the 5 times as ordered by allah (as we believe ofcourse ) as you cannot pray after you had performed any sexual encounters unless you had a full bath or then perform ablution so it becomes a pain in the ass to do so

2- you cannot perform any sexual activities during the fasting times and the prophet pbuh himself never even performed during the afternoon hours as at this time you will perform many prayers

3- During the month of ramadan try to go more often to the mosque and put a target to read the quran on a daily basis as it will keep you occupied and further will enhance your spiritual state

4- Whenever you feel the urge get up and bow down to allah asking strength and then perform 40 pushups or as many as you can do to rechannel your energy

5 - Take the advice of the prophet and start swimming or going to the gym in general as it encourages you to refrain from masturbating to perform better

6- Have a daily or weekly session with an islamic sheikh to discuss your issues and he will further provide info that can help you tackle the issue but aim for one for gets it

7 - always remember that m is a sin not just because it simply is but because it can destroy your mental and physical health

Best of luck and like the prophet said اخلص النية
