Walaykum assalam wr wb, yes maha I know ur a girl from ur. Name and I completely acknowledge your concern and this is a sign of iman that u actualise that u want to forsake and shun this habit for sake of allah .
- also used to do that when I enter the 15 years of age and from then struggling until I statrted to pursue my masters in neuroscience. I realised that its all in head realise that this sin is haram and stop taking it easy as human commit sin only when he take things easy by this step u will surely soon forsake it and yes it carries numerous side effect especially for women then men .
Am veru blunt and straight
First and foremost remove all those things which lead to that sin, internet install parent filter for porn vids ,stop speaking to opposite sex and most of all start Fasting twice a week because tell me if ur stomach is not filled with food will ur mind detour t owards masturbating ? Not at all and also during the whole day u will be busy doing good actions , hasanath , u will be refrained from loose,trivial talks etcc and keep ur self busy simple .
Just make urself so tired in ur work and prayers that nothing comes to ur head at the end of the day.
And most important read surah mulk and sajdah . And imagine that if u masturbate its as if ur doing it infront of public . Don't let ur nafs win u , indeed I advice u from heart .
Fee amanallah awaits ur replyy

wont do it again but same i cant prevent it plese help me i need to stop it plese help me

tq soo much and plzz peay for our life and we have to stamd afainst our nafs inshaallah we all will meet in jannah pray for doing sunnah and the wotk which has been donr by the sahaba anf nabi (s.a.w) again tq so much and pray for me
ASA as a nurse i can tell you there is no harm to human health . Ita a neurological reaponse to stimulation just like touching a hot stove. Again there is no harm to your fertility or sexual organs . However it is not allowed in our religion and marriage is recommended
Sunhannallah. I would say however that eventhough it cannot harm your physical health .. When you do marry your body may be come used to that form of stimulation. I would recommend speaking to a muslim gynecologist bcos asking people without medical training about adverse effects of human health is like asking a worker at nandos about nutrition
Excuse me Does masturbation decrease our energy,physical strength,stamina etc. and
How do you know that this has no effects on human health?
May Allah help us in avoiding all what is haram for us!
I dont know about the body but it's a myth that it makes you blind.It is harmful to the mind and also the nafs, especially as it may often be accompanied by lustful thoughts. It's a vicious cycle, masterbation leads to lustful thoughts, more lustful thoughts leads to masterbation and it goes on. The psychology of lustfulness is fascinating. You need to break the cycle then. Stop the masterbation and divert the lustful thoughts. Notice how I have said divert and not fight. The more you fight them the more difficult it is.
Let it wash over you if you can. When you feel it - do something else and say "its just my nafs going crazy again."
One thing that may help if the other things did not help you is the fact that masterbation can affect your future intimacy with your future spouse. It often does because of the way it leads you to view sexual fulfillment. You view it as a means of satisfying yourself but if you study intimacy in Islam, sociology and the common problems which arise there is a link. Imagine you are hungry you simply have a biscuit to satisfy your hunger. Thats how sex is viewed in western (and who knows maybe even soem eastern societies.) In reality marriage, love and intimacy is so much more complex.
Intimacy requires a lot of patience, love and works best when each person is concerned about his/her spouse's needs rather than their own. Also getting into the habit of masterbation does not necessarily stop after marriage. It can continue, leading ones spouse to feel rejected and sexually frustrated. (Because their spouse prefers to self satisfy rather than seek intimacy in the loving healthy way with their spouse.)
This is all theoretical and knowledge based rather than practical and experienced based. I dont know if this thinking will help you - but the truth is oversexualisation does affect future marriages. It also affects ones deen, makes salat difficult and causes lustful thoughts.

You speak the truth, many people are on to the myths that it weakens muscles, increases weight, grows more pubic hair etc, nothing happens physically unless you are totally addicted but it does impact you spiritually and that is the only thing to worry about.

i want to confrim that does masturbation has any side effect on our sexual health or erection.
Assalmoalikum . My dear bros and sis . i will be open. the reason that you masturbate is because any image or conversation or even because of ur mind thoughts. a boy/girl will idealize the opposite gender (her physical features) , will plan a story and there u go. they find it thrilling and entertaining...now how to refrain yourself from this act .....if you only image and BELIEVE i mean it ...just think for a moment that GOD IS WATCHING YOU ...now can you do it .....most of the people will still do it ...my bros and sis the reason that why you will still do it is that are far away from the good thoughts of Allah .. for that you have to spend some time ....now spend time in what? ...salah/Namaz? no it wont help [as being a non arabic u cant understand to a word u r saying in salat or even reading quran (however, intense reading quran/salat will help you in a way that you not only offer salat but spend time in tahajjud..awabein etc. through which you will start FEELING iman in urself)]..... try listening and reading to the ISLAMIC discussions ....for guyz especially for all of you start going to mosques and sepnd time in tableegh ...for girls start listening to the discussion by people like Maulana Tariq Jamil, Shaikh Zulfiqar Ahmed etc. when you will create a environment then you will start HATING this act ...i hope i have helped u guyz to some extent ....dont forget me in your prayers
assalam o alaikum guyz i am also 16 years old and been masturbating since 15 and i can not control myself even if i see a picture or a photograph of a girl. i am really ashamed plz give some ideas or reasons so i should stop masturbate. plz if any girl or boy know the answer please tell me. thnku

i m commited to this sin since i was 12 and now i m 16.Always try to prevent it but unfortunatly i don't have the patience to controll.
Assalam.u.alaikum!
There have been useful responses from many brothers n sisters to the problem discussed here.. I appriciate them all... As sex starts in mind, so you have to control your thoughts first of all. The first thought, which you guys have mentioned yourself, is being ashamed, and consider this act as a sin n harmful. Next you have to spend your time in positive activities, nd also avoid being alone.secondly, you can set targets to achieve. Fisrt of all you achieve target of 40 days, which will give you bit of control over yourself. If you fail, then try again n again untill u achieve it. If u acomplish this one, then complete another 40, and then another 40.... Insha'Allah, u will get rid of this addiction after 120 days..
Hope this helps u guys who r suffering from it..
Thnx I will try
Assalam o alaikum brothers and sisters

Assalamu Alikum,
I am in the habit of masturbation since I was 13 years old and now I am 17 years old still having the same problem. I even used to do that thrice a day but from recent days I am trying to stop it. I think that this thing affected my joints and also my bones got little bit rigid . I also became lazy. Now I am trying to stop it. I wanted to ask that is there any side effect of stopping masturbation after a long period of time. Now half of the month has passed and I didn't do it. I am having bone pains. And also my semincles vesicles (testes) are creating irritation. And when I will get IKHTILAAM. Plz Plz Plz tell me 'cuz its very important. Inshallah I am resolute that I will stop this sin. Now Plz answer my questions.
Thanks to All......... (Y)
No not at all masturbation has no side effects at all according to science it is often useful to release anxiety and tension but according to islamic point of view it is a bad thin and committed as a sin so i think you should have patience on you and give a good time to your prayers and i you watch porn (astagfirrulah ) you should skip that habit. hope for the best
Please Somebody tell me effective ways to put a barrier to this sin. I've been doing it since I was 13 and now i'm 16 and everytime I do i punish myself afterwards sometimes with cold showers in winter nights and sometimes by putting my hand over a burning blaze but nothing seems to help. Its as if I am cut off from this world and I can do whatever I should do to stop this but every time my will is weak to stop the flow of lust. I NEED TO STOP! Please tell me effective ways to stop it, Somebody who has successfully abandoned it Please respond !!!

may allah protect all peoples form this sin
Wa'alaikumussalam,I'v heard all your problems. Firstly,I will like to start with the religious effect,the act diminished faith in the sense that it changes the heart,religion is built based on the principle heart.I said that because behavour works with heart.masturbation cannot be an addict because individual is not born with it.islamically,you can get rid of it in the following ways. 1.fast as much as you can,at least three times in a month,because it is the means of surpressing sexual desires.(Check bulugul maram,book of fasting). 2.avoid eating food that increase libido excessively. 3.due to excessive masturbation,you might have lost some of the essential nutrients in your body.advicely,eat more boiled egg and moringa so as to boost your health. 4.make sure you recite the holy quran every day.because it helps to increase brain function and increase your dignity and rank in the sight of Allah. 5.do duah as much as you can,if you are unable to adhere to above advice.then get married...may Allah forgive all our mistakes...
Asalam a alikum.
I want to know that, does masturbation effect our back bone ? i am facing a sever back bone pain from last month. i am masturbating since i was 15, and now i am 18. What should I do ? i got my many of my questions answers from here.
I hope that some body will answer my question.
Masturbation has no effect on your backbone. There are many physical ailments commonly associated in folklore with masturbation, but they are myths. The main thing to be careful of is not letting it affect your salat or your daily activities, and not getting into pornography, which is haram.

Thanxx a lot brother. but, when ever I masturbate within few hours the pain started, and now days it is paining on the right side of my back, and my whole right leg. which is really a sever pain. Is it because of over weight, because i am kind of healthy guy. what would you suggest me, what should I do ?
thanxxx a lot that you reply me.
please help me because the act is taking me over and I want Jana from Allah
Think of Allah whenever the thought approaches you, and then engage yourself in either dhikr or reading the Holy Quran--that should be enough to direct your thoughts to somewhere else. If you want Jannah from Allah, then do more good deeds, such as reading the Holy Quran, doing dhikr, fasting-sunnah, going for 'umrah, being nice with people, and assisting the weak and the needy for the sake of Allah etc, in addition to establishing your 5 times daily prayers, fasting in ramadan, paying zakah, going to hajj if you are capable, and continuously affirming your iman till you meet Allah with a pure heart.
This is what i've been searching. I always thought that i'm alone having this problem. Thanks for all the advices. For those who did masturbation and really want to stop it, maybe we can always remind one another through a community. Because I believe that we tend to do it because no one know we were doing it and that's why no one can remind us. So, maybe we can create a network where we will always be remind about that.
same problm with me
I started from 14 yerrs nd still continuing.now i m 25 years
i dont get mental satisfaction without it
bt do only twice a week
@Muskan: I started from 14 yerrs nd still continuing.now i m 25 years
i dont get mental satisfaction without it
bt do only twice a week
Are you married? By mental satisfaction do you mean total relaxation or some thing else.
If you are married you should let your hubby know slowly thru actions or suggestions what can makes things better for you and give you "mental satisfaction".
I am 24 and i have been doing it daily for the last 8 years. And its not harmful i workout in the gym, i can solve tough numericals just passed out as an engineer, my eyesight is perfect and well when u do it in excess, and dont keep up the nurtition levels then your body might suffer. Eat healthy and workout and you will be be fine. And No.. namaz and islamc activities wont make you stop unless you ge married cz its in out blood and nature. And the problem is with our society here marriage is too delayed and till then everybody has to satisfy themselves because for marriage boys have to get settled earn good and till then they are 30+ so they will naturally masturbate. Keep hydrated and well fed. And workout. I never felt a drop in energy levels at gym and get regular erections. So boys dont worry and get married to give your spouse their righteous pleasure. Til then just keep a good diet and avoid zinna for masturbation is atleast not harmful to others lives but zinna is. Same goes for girls, you cannt corrol your desired, if they were meant to be controlled they wouldnt have been placed in our body for reproduction in te first place. No zikr or nafals can make the nature go away only way is to get married simple as that. Many maybot like my comment but its a fact! Namaz bey-hayai se rokti hoti tou sara ramzan 5 waqt namaz prh kr bhi log chaand rat aty hi namaz chor kr sharabeinna peety zinna na krty.. Jisny jo ulta kam krna hota caand rat se hi again shuru kr deta hai ksi ko namazon ny nhi badla
May be those are the persons whose namaaz are not accepted by Allah, they do all those sinful things right after sight of new moon of ramzaan, and also remember my brothers and sisters that Shaitaan (Satan) and nafs are our biggest enemy.
I mean right after the end of ramzaan month
Indeed namaz/salat protects from sinful and shameful acts.
(Quraan)
Well adeel don't be so personal it's a sensitive issue telling about namaz so openly and negatively their is Also difference in quality of pray jab namaz sahi nai tou dua ya tobba kaise qabool hogi..i know it's natural instinct man is a sexual animal and solution in islam is nikkah as early whenever indulge in this sin..problem is with our society and way of living that making us slave of our nafs destroying us and also everyone is not same it depends on ur physical,psycological and biological response of body how it react to things ....insan me hath bohat kuch nahi hota
your body isnt yours its a gift from allah , next time you get the urge to indulge in these dirty vile activities you might want too remember allah is watching
are u serious tht there is no side effect of it
ummm! but Im going week day by day my bones r making noise i'm literally feeling tht I cant learn like be4 ......fedup
DEAR ALL...
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. I AM IN AGE OF 32 AND I STARTED MASTURBATING IN 17 AND STILL AFTER MARRIAGE I CANT GET RID OF IT. THOSE WHO SAYING THAT THERE IS NO EFFECT ARE TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION..
MY UN HEALTHY SYMPTOMS.
1. I DO MASTURBATE RATHER WITH MY WIFE.
2. I FEEL WEAKNESS.
3. MY LEGS HAVE NO ENERGY.
4. I FEEL PAIN IN BACK.
5. SEXUAL INTENTIONS LIKE PORN MOVIES OR DOING WITH SOMEONE ELSE EVERY TIME I THINK OF MASTURBATING.
PLEEEEASEEEE LEAVE THIS HABIT IF ANY BODY CAN DO ITS REALLY HARMFULL AND I AM FEELING IT.
MALE ADDICTED: I DO MASTURBATE RATHER WITH MY WIFE........... SEXUAL INTENTIONS LIKE PORN MOVIES OR DOING WITH SOMEONE ELSE EVERY TIME I THINK OF MASTURBATING..... I FEEL WEAKNESS......... MY LEGS HAVE NO ENERGY... I FEEL PAIN IN BACK.
How long have you been married? Did you ever enjoy sex with your wife? You are unable to do with your wife but you desire to have a different woman every time.
Most boys/men masturbate but change to sexual intercourse for sexual gratification when they get to do with a woman.
Both sexual intercourse and masturbation involve erection and ejaculation to give feeling of orgasm. Same thing happens during sexual intercourse and masturbation at least in men. I am sure most men use a woman in fantasy or porn to masturbate.
You should see a physician for your weakness and back pain.
Try to keep yourself as much busy as you can and you will stop masturbating...... dont stay alone .... always keep company like yoyr family friends . Gradually after a month or so you will get back to your normal healthy life and you wont even remeber that you masturbated.
cant recover
I want to.ask that doing this mastu
It has any effect on.skin i am getting pimples and acne scars
Assalam o Alaikum fellow muslims.
I wanted to ask a question that even though masturbation is said to be Haram in Islam, I've heard that it reduces the chance of testicular cancer. And I've also heard that the sperm expires after 74 days so if it stays in the testicles for this period after being expired so isnt that harmful for the furure life? And I've also heard from some people that one can masturbate if he cannot escape it anymore. Should we masturbate once in a given time? Thank you. May Allah Forgive Us All
It is not universally considered haram. Some scholars consider it merely makruh or disliked. As to the health issues, I don't know about the testicular cancer issue, but what you said about the sperm "expiring" is not relevant. Cells in the body die all the time. The body disposes of them and creates new ones.

Masturbation have a great effect on our body ,as my own experience it causes growth of acne ,pimples and black heads.also early growth of facial hair.some people believe that it helps in growth but it's wrong.and only way to control masturbation is not to think negative or about girls or boys at all.and try not to broke gusul.and try to make your self busy at all the time acc to a famous saying that empty mind is devil's workshop.
Musaib, your advice about keeping busy and controlling thoughts is good. However, it is just a myth that masturbation causes growth of acne and hair. It has no physical effects. You would have developed those things whether you masturbated or not. They are simply a result of hormonal changes that occur as you get older.

Just read this
Hammasa, I removed your link because, while the "spiritual harm" described on that page may be true, the "physical harm" is nonsense. For example the page says, "It creates weakness in the cerebral glands of the brain..." What kind of nonsense is this? There are no "cerebral glands" in the brain.
