A 17-year-old university student initially associated with bad friends and deviated, listening to songs and watching indecent movies, then his condition improved after getting to know good friends. However, during the summer vacation, his condition deteriorated again with the presence of a computer and the internet, and he began to find difficulty in having devotion in prayer, waking up for Fajr, and memorizing the Quran. He seeks help because he is lost and confused, especially with his good friends being far away and his unwillingness to listen to religious sermons.

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and companions.

Knowing the ailment and its causes is half the cure. The problem can be resolved through five matters: avoiding bad company, getting rid of means of disobedience such as computers and the internet, associating with good friends, joining circles of knowledge and mosques, and remembering the dire consequences of sin. By following these matters, the situation will improve, Allah willing, and its effects will become apparent in the tranquility of the soul, humility in prayer, and vigor in obedience.

And Allah knows best.
