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.
