Things that help one abandon sins by Shaykh Ubayd al
Jaabiree
1. By making a sincere taubah without transgressing. For
example a person repents from smoking, and if they return to that they place on
themselves to give such and such in sadaqah. This is haraam, this is
transgression and this is bid’ah.
2. One performs an abundance of voluntary acts of worship
authentically reported in the Sunnah.
3. Distancing one’s self from bad companions. The prophet
alayhis salaam said “a man is on the religion of his friend”
4. Being abundant in the remembrance of Allah and constantly
turning to Him, even if you didn’t commit a sin.
5. Clinging to and mixing with the pious whether that be in the
masaajid, or through phone calls. All of these things aid one upon istiqaamah
and are a protection from sins inshaAllah.
