You did great though. Maybe try one more time. Why dont you recite the Quran or if not then do Dhikr while walking or doing things. That sure will take your mind off the radio. Plus turn the knob of sincerity to max. Make dua as if you want it to happen and Allah will listen. He is the best listener.
 
u know truemuslim, i would try till I succeed. I would try to till i killed the shaitan inside me. or at least ove power it that it does not come between the things that are prescribed and i know that they are wrong. today i heared music - i would get enraged on myself try again again and again and again till i beat the requirement of 'want to hear it'. that is what is known as jihaad which allah subhanawa tallah loves. and finally allah will love you.
-------------------------------------
a small example
u should be a bit tactful with yourself. like i realized that tea was not good as i got addicted to it as drugs. if i didnt had it my head would go mad with such a bad headache i cant describe and i just wanted tea.i decided a clear no to myself. as it was creating acidity and lot other stuff. then i tortured myself for 1 week. whenever i felt like drinking tea specially in the mornings when the head ache was too high i had kept a cup of tea (previous days) with that bad smelling coming out of it - it was the left over in it. whenever i felt that i use to say want to have tea - have it and try smelling that bad odour. i would repel it like nothing else. i kept doing it for 1 week- then i started an inclination towards coffee - i thought that it was more harmful. alhamdulillah ramadan started and now i am without coffee and tea.
then i found out why i need tea. i wanted that major kick off at work in the morning. its like we dont understand what our body wants to say. its like early morning after 1 hour of travel i expect to work immididately - not happening. so i made it a point like every morning doing some work which will freshen me up. like anything uploading videos. or writing something. anything. sparing 15 minutes makes u freshen up for the whole day. similarly find out why u want music - what is it - that u can complete ur body's demand in a halal way. as our aim is not to kill ourself but just to remove the bad habits. this depends on person to person. u might find urslef revolting too much and at times u might even get bugged, but its ok those r the tantrums ur self plays - as it loves to be in ease. u have to get hold of yourself make it do in a calm manner.- aah its too much of advice. but above all - just want u too know - that u r important .
take care

aw sis jazakallah khair, that was very useful :statisfie thanksss. :)


______________________________

actually after i broke my "not listen to music" thing, i actually surprisingly never broke it again, but right now im getting the urrrrge to redownload chris brown :raging::raging::raging: '
and actualy for the first time ever in my life i actually prayed and felt like the prayer worked. like allah excepted and everything, i prayed some night prayers the first night at like 1am and end at about 3am, and the first prayer my heart felt so much like allah loves me , which i never feel. then it wears off and i go again, and again and again, and so on, then my eyes filled with tears, because its the first time i ever felt that way for real :statisfie in the end, i make my dua, first i go wit first four, then i go with the rest.
they say lailatul qadr shud be on the 26th, but i dont believe they would know when it is at all, every night i'll make sincere, and the past two nights i've made sincere. (i think)

Jazakumallah khair everyone because whenever im about to listen to music or sumthin i remember the exact words of some of u , and i actually am able to resist a bit. :exhausted:statisfie :)
 
Im delighted to hear that sister. You should keep this up. Keep praying and spare some time of the night for Allah rather than music because im sure what you felt praying is way better than what Shaytaan makes you feel after music
 
Jazakumallah khair :) yeh it feels much better than what i felt with music.
but i keep getting the urge to downloooad. see i was done an ddidnt think about music at all, then my bro turned up the radio all the way and something good was on, something i loooove and was addicted to, but i didnt listen to it until now i feel like it. havent yet but i really really really really really want to or im gonna go kill someone! (not really)
 
i was like that and all my mates were all listenin to music but i just kept strong.

all u need is to keep being strong.
 
gurl u shud kno by now i am sooo not a strong girl.
i keep opening up the limewire page to Redownload it because i deleted it, but then i close it, then open again, then download, then cancel the download, and right now its downloaded and im THIS close to downloading the songs i wantd...:( plsss make dua or gimme a dua i can say to avoid this impossible stufff!!
 
i dont know any dua to avoid it but i'll make dua for u.

right now u need to listen to quran that would stop u from downloading the songs.

orrrrr get off the computer and go and pray two rakas. and make dua

It's not impossible, if it was then you wouldn't be able to get rid of this habit. So be positive, and Insha'allah you will. We just make these things seem impossible in our little minds.

sorry no can do, i just think negative, and its impossible.. if it can be possible for two days it would turn back to how it was before,
therefore (:?), its impossible.

That means your mind is into that stuff, solution is easy, just find an alternative, firstly uninstall programs like limewire, ares and other p2p sharing programs. Download quranic mp3 when u feel like listening to music from here (QuranicAudio.com), get your lazy ass of your computer and play football, cricket whatever u play there in the US, read salah, go to evening classes in ur local mosque, go do extra curricular activities in your school. or else u'll be more tempted to do this if u spend a lot of time on the net.

i kno im into that stuff. and yeh i just uninstalled limewire and zune :exhausted. and you kno what im gonna get my "lazy self" off the computer, but if im gna do that ima have to listen to music just for a few hours to complete crap school work, then ima go do something islamic and after iftar when it gets dark ima go play tha thing we call BASKETBALL. i dont have any evening classes in the masjid unless your talking about those things people gather up for to play sports and listen to MUSIC?
Jazakallah khair for your advice. ima go do what i said ima do :statisfie
peace!
