Remedy for watching TV etc

Condition: Kindly show me the treatment for the illness of watching television. 

Answer: If the television belongs to you, remove it from your house. If it does not belong to you, make a firm intention that you are not going to watch. Make a firm resolution that you are not going to watch television even if it means losing your life, and no matter how much your heart desires to watch. When it is the time to watch television, it will be appropriate to go and visit a pious friend of yours. 

Think about the punishment of Allâh Ta’ala for two minutes. The fear of Allâh Ta’ala will come into your heart through this murâqabah. Take courage because courage is the only thing to treat sins. There is a booklet on the harms of television. Purchase this and read a few pages daily.
