There are certain actions which attract shayateen (devils) into our lives. These actions must be avoided whenever possible.

Before you proceed to take an action, think whether its benefits outweigh its detriments.

Some examples are:

• Listening to music.
• Displaying pictures or statues of living beings in your homes.
• Idle-talk, such as back-biting and slander.
• Being in places where the shayateen usually reside, such as shopping centres, night clubs… etc.
• Wasting time doing non-beneficial activities, such as watching movies and playing computer games for a long period of time… etc.
• Smoking
• Drinking alcohol
• Eating haram foods
