“Shaytan can overpower a single person easily but whenever we are in company, he is far away. Therefore avoid isolation, avoid being alone because that’s the time when you can do that sin (pornography)” – Wael Ibrahim*
Joining us back on again is coach and expert, Br. Wael Ibrahim, to be interviewed by our host Mifrah Mahroof for the second and final part of this series dedicated to ending the pornography addiction.
In part one of this interview series we discussed the dangers of pornography including the forms it exists in, the effects it has on the mind and how big of a problem it is today.
Now in today’s interview, we discuss how to protect ourselves and others from falling into a pornography addiction along with tackling the big question – how do I get out if I am stuck? Finding the cure.
