The answer

The logic of intellect and religion necessitates that the questioner remedies the issue of his dissolution and imitation of the West, where he cannot sleep except by listening to loud Western music. This confirms the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "You will indeed follow the ways of those who were before you, hand span by hand span, and cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they were to enter the hole of a lizard, you would follow them" (Narrated by Al-Bukhari). Therefore, he must fear Allah and abandon his current state, seek assistance from Allah Almighty, ask Him for guidance, and associate with people of goodness and righteousness.
