How can one get rid of feelings of guilt after watching pornography and repenting from it?
Your feeling of guilt when you remember it is an indication of the persistence of faith in your heart, for remorse is repentance. However, it should not be accompanied by despair of Allah's mercy. We advise you to do the following:
1. Avoid being alone with the computer and the internet.
2. Become addicted to reading the Qur’an, for in it there is healing and mercy.
3. Increase seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) and remembering Allah (Dhikr), especially the prescribed invocations.
4. Ask Allah for guidance and uprightness during times when prayers are answered.
5. Befriend righteous sisters.
6. Increase listening to Islamic audio lectures.
