Wa `alaykum As-Salamu waRahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

 

I ask Allah to provide you with a healing remedy of your soul and body and shower all His mercy upon you. I suggest you approach blessed times and blessed places where you insist on Allah to remove this evil from your heart. I advise you to do the following things:

 

1- Repeat this du`aa, “O Allah make faith dearer to me and make it pleasing in my hearts and make disbelief, defiance and disobedience hateful to me and make me of the rightly guided.”

 

This is based on Allah’s saying, “And know that among you is the Messenger of Allah. If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would be in difficulty, but Allah has endeared to you the faith and has made it pleasing in your hearts and has made hateful to you disbelief, defiance and disobedience. Those are the [rightly] guided.” (Al-Hujurat 49:7)

 

2- Keep repeating this du`aa specially between adhan and iqamah, immediately before the prayer of Fajr, when you travel and Friday before Maghrib prayer. Those are some of blessed times where du`aa is mostly accepted.

 

3- You must regularly keep your prayer in congregation at first row of your masjid. Praying in congregation will definitely will have a great impact on your personality.
Making prayers regularly is always connected to getting rid of evil desires and lust. Allah says in the Quran, “But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -“ (Maryam 19:59).

 

Scholars maintained that giving up prayers is closely related to following desires and lusts. One can easily get rid of evil desires by strengthening his relation with Allah by making prayers on time and by making them in congregation.

 

4- You must think of yourself how should you meet with Allah without changing yourself, how should you stand before him. This is the reason you should read about the greatness of Allah and how to love him more and more. This type of love for Allah will make things easy for you. I suggest you read this book: Don’t be Sad by `Aid Al-Qarni. You can easily find a copy of this book at the following link: https://www.kalamullah.com/Books/Dont%20Be%20Sad.pdf

 

May Allah bless your life and shower you with eternal blessings.
