Question: About four years ago, when I began taking an
interest in a neighborhood girl, my well-wishers tried to dissuade me, warning
that her family background was questionable and that her own character was far
from virtuous. Even so, merely to maintain an association, I befriended her,
and now I feel as though I am trapped in a web. I have repented sincerely
before Allah, yet thoughts of her remain deeply entangled in my heart. My
financial life has also suffered severely because of this, but her love has
thoroughly permeated my soul. I consider myself a grave sinner, yet I cannot
rid myself of her thoughts.
Answer: After midnight has passed, perform ablution
(Wudu) and sit cross-legged facing north. Recite Yā Allāh (یا اللہ)
one hundred times, then close your eyes. With closed eyes, visualize a screen
before you displaying the image of the said girl. It may take you two to three
weeks to firmly establish this visualization. Once her image becomes clearly
visible in your perception, use the power of your mind to invert (flip upside
down) the image on the screen. Performing this act once will dispel the girl's
thoughts from your heart.
