How can one get rid of the feeling of desiring romantic relationships with women, which corrupts righteousness and affects the purity of work for Allah the Almighty?
We recommend piety to Allah, in secret and in public. Remember the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "I have not left behind me any trial more harmful to men than women."
Be mindful that Allah is watching you and is aware of your innermost thoughts and your outward actions.
We advise marriage for those who are able, as it is more lowering to the gaze and more safeguarding of the private parts. For those who are unable, they should fast, for it is a shield for them.
Be diligent in attending lessons and circles of knowledge, and in keeping company with the righteous. Stay away from people of corruption and their places, and lower your gaze from what Allah has forbidden.
