In this lecture #Muftimenk gives the first advice that we should be listening to is that of developing the consciousness of Allah (swt) before starting off how to deal with bad habits.

There are many examples have been drawn from the life of our beloved prophet Muhammed (saw)to inspire us with a view to eradicating our bad habits by Quoting the verses of the Quran and hadiths regarding smoking, drinking, eating food, dressing, wasting money, speaking etc.
