Muslim fapstronauts

@blanke_ark, you say: "medical science has proven that masturbation is a cause of a number of diseases". Could you please provide references for these alleged diseases?

 

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you a quick update of mine. But first of all I'd like to thank you for all these great posts, especially this great speech of Hamza Yusuf and Nouman Ali Khan, they helped me a lot. Since approx two weeks I could withstand the urges. Fortunately I had no drastic urges during the past days which also makes me very glad. I look forward to achieve 30 days so that I can extend my objective. But nevertheless I'm quiet anxious about the future. Being alone makes me really weak. Sometimes it happens that when the urge appears everything starts to be so unimportant for you. You give a damn on everything and forget everything you've learned. You get impatient and really vulnerable. At least it's true for me. But although I failed the first time trying to withstand until Ramadan I want to succeed the second try. The relapse two weeks ago really teared me down but now I'm in again and I hope you are too.

This is a great community, a great thread and you are great people and I think no matter how often we will fall, someday we will learn how to walk and then we won't fall again and accomplish our target, I'm sure about that.

@blanke_ark Thank you for your effort, it also helped me a lot. I'm not a doc or something but I'm sure that especially Porn can cause psychological issues which can express physically. Just like a depression. But mostly psychological, so it can change the way you use to behave and treat people. I'm nor a doctor neither an expert who knows everything about the aftereffects of masturbation and porn but I think of course some of your points are conclusively. But as I said I'm not a doc. Ask Abdurrahman ;-)

Thanks to all of you.

I appreciate your effort so much.

With the best regards

"masturbation a disastrous problem faced by the youth"

 

Hey Taqwaman its ok get back in the game quick! The urges you will have to do it again is going to be strong. Just remember that you can get back to where you were you are a much stronger person now. Join me in the goal of beating my previous best.

I 100% believe that the world is a beautiful place and full of great people. Every day, millions of great things happen to everyone of us but the you know what, i choose to focus on the GOLD in things. A great teacher of mine once told me, (When you are mining, it is very easy to find the dirt, but you have to spend some time looking to find the GOLD) Yes there are some bad things that happen in the world, but will it help me to put my attention on it? All I could do is make du3a for the people that are suffering because I know Allah is with them.

Put it this way, if you have a business, a restaurant for example, will it help to say that you have no customers and your business is losing? or just everyday think and feel and be positive that you will have a great day? If you fell off a horse, are you going to spend time complaining that hate on the world, or just get up and get back in the game and learn from your mistake or other peoples mistake??

For me, I will always choose the GOLD. A positive thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative thought. What are you going to choose??

Alsalam 3laikom

 

Masturbation

Masturbation may not cause all that but when it's excessive it definitely does cause some of them. I've been in medicine school for only 2 years so I can't provide too much information. However, from my own experience and from several studies I have read I can undoubtedly say that excessive masturbation causes lack of concentration, depression, guilt (I believe that most of fapstronauts can relate to feeling guilty after M). I have once read studies by The University of West of Scotland on happiness and anxiety mostly. Blindness could be an old rumor . The relation between M and Chronic Prostatitis is still hazy. And I don't know whether it causes ED or not. Anyways, we fapstronauts need to stay away from both M and P to complete the factory reset. Allah didn't forbid masturbation for no reason...

 

Just don't binge and you will be fine bro. 2 months is a great achievement, I's nothing to joke about! Now go for 3 months this time !

 

@blanke_ark - Hmm! Your post is damaging misinformation. Either provide the scientific studies for your claims or please delete it. It is unnecessary scaremongering.

 

First time to reach 30 days! I feel like I forgot how fapping was (not being over-confident because this is what got me last time) but really I can't remember the last time I watched P or M'ed, which is awesome. Despite the happiness of reaching day 30, I'm feeling somewhat depressed... I don't think it's because of Nofap. I've had some life problems recently, my final exam is coming and it's ridiculously hard !! Thankfully, Ramadan is near and it will surely cheer me up

 

I don't know about others but in Ramadan I feel like a lot of weight is lifted off my shoulders (most likely due to the shataan being chained)

Also I realised it helps praying the following;

Ya Muqsit (recitation of this helps protect from the harm of the devil)

Ya Rahim recitation of this leads to the protection under Allah

 

the Month in which we changed our life will come soon

 

One of the most important things that i took from this site that helped me a lot to take more sophisticated solutions in my fight against PMO is to understand the problem from its core, to know what really happened on a deeper level.
This is the link that told me about this http://nofap.com/forum/index.php?th...a-beginners-definitive-system-to-nofap.37992/.
I will copy the most important part from this post.
