Getting rid of a bad habit cannot happen through prayer alone

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful


Getting rid of a bad habit cannot happen through prayer alone, but requires willpower, determination and a great effort with sacrifice as well.

When a bad habit is highlighted to us, never feel bad but rather appreciate that someone cares, even if the tone was not ideal.

It is common to hear those drowning in bad habits say, "Pray for me!" Prayer is indeed powerful, but hang on, if YOU are not going to do something about it then how is the prayer alone going to change things.

The Almighty Himself has said that we must work hard towards achieving whatever is beneficial for us. This means together with prayer BE STRONG!

Come on... kick that bad habit now! You can!

  Has not the time yet come for those who believe that 
their hearts should be humble for the remembrance of Allah 
and what has come down of the truth? 
[Surah Al Hadid 57:16]
