My dear brothers and sisters, I hope you are all in good health. I am worried that I have a problem which could turn out serious. I am getting a bit addicted to IB, no seriously, I am thinking of it all day. Is this bad? Just what to kow your opinion.
Addiction of any kind can be a negative thing.
Are you neglecting other things that you should be doing in order to come on to IB?
Is there anything else that you find interesting?
Perhaps it could be boredom..
Try to stay off it for a few days and see how you feel.
"And hold fast unto Allah, He is your protector, the best to protect and the best to help"
Agree,
Adiction is not a good sign. Try doing some other thing. Try reading books or what ever you like. Distribute your time to use IB (by the way, I feel the same way)
When there is nothing left but Allah that is when you find out that Allah is all you need.
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salât, and gives the Zakât, and keep their word whenever they make a promise, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of persecution, hardship, and war. Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).

These sites can be very unhealthy, i myself am free at the moment so have got time on my side just to browse but i know in 2 wks that will not be the case i will be busy at work. If i was you i would have time out for a while. You would be surprised how many people are addicted to forums like these very interesting read the numbers seem to be increasing all the time. Chill out bro this site should not take over your life.
^^ Lol isnt it a sister?
Aslaamu alaaykum..
sis if you live with your family, try helping them out with stuff they may need help on, ask them Insha`Allaah. Try going for walk outside, and look at the creation of Allaah, and talk to Allaah, how beautiful is the world. obviously somewhere wheres theres no fitnah, somewhere quiet where you can rest your mind..Thank Allaah, spend a few hours, try doing some reading on Hadiths, you can maybe read some verses from the Quraan and then translate it to yourself and try memorising them. Insha`Allaah, also you can try give some Dawah..Insha`Allaah thats my advice, theres more, but i think thats enough for Now Insha`Allaah..Sorry if i said anything bad or wrong
Wa alaaykum Salaam

Onething you can do to help is stop coming to IB for 2 days .. after that you realise that you are not so addicted as u think.Lock you laptop in ur cupboard for 2 days ..
