The answer

The questioner is advised to continue striving against his lower self (nafs), to make abundant supplications (du'a), to keep the company of righteous people, to avoid the company of idle ones, to not be alone with himself, and to avoid seeing or hearing anything that leads to sin. It is suggested to organize a daily routine starting with waking up before Fajr for prayer and supplication, then going to the mosque to perform Fajr prayer in congregation and staying there until sunrise, then returning home while diligently remembering Allah. He is also advised to perform prayers in congregation, to recite the evening remembrances (adhkar al-masa'), to spend time studying and reviewing, to listen to beneficial religious lectures, and to sleep early after 'Isha' prayer, and to avoid using computers and the internet except when necessary and in the presence of family.
