The young man is advised to supplicate profusely for himself for repentance and guidance, and to be sincere with Allah the Almighty. He is warned against feeling secure from the stratagems of Allah and sudden death. He must seek the reason that led him to disobedience and offer sincere repentance from all abominations, especially neglecting prayer. He should also know that watching pornographic films opens the door to temptation. He must get married to protect his chastity, or fast if marriage is not possible, along with keeping company with righteous people and engaging in sports.
