I’m gna start a thread of my journey to stop listening to music, that journey starts today, May Allah (SWT) help me, aameen

Today is day one.
Day one:

Mainly occupied myself with mufti menk’s talks and a podcast.
Alhumdulillah didn’t listen to music willingly, but there were a couple of videos which had music in the background and the shop also had music on.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day two:

Today was a lot harder than yesterday, I was craving just listening to it and kept humming and saying random lyrics from songs, but I just played a mufti menk lecture and I was ok.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day three:

Like yesterday, I was craving music, but today it wasn’t as overwhelming, probably because I was distracted most of the time, but when I was getting my notes done I felt the urge to listen, however I just listened to a Quran playlist which I have.

Alhumdulillah still
Day four:

Alhumdulillah I didn’t listen to any music today, I just hummed a lot 😩 but I read surahs whilst driving to my destinations...also I didn’t crave it as much either

Alhumdulillah still
Day five:

Alhumdulillah, I didn’t listen to any music today. No cravings, just a couple lyrics were going around my head but that was it.

Alhumdulillah still
Day six:

No music at all today, but the same thing with the lyrics being stuck in my head....I think that may be an issue for me tbh.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day seven:

Felt like an epic failure because I listened to a couple of songs Cos they were part of the videos on insta.

I’ll get there InshaAllah.
Day eight:

I managed to avoid music all day Alhumdulillah, but I did end up voicing a couple of lyrics but then stopped myself.

Trying, Alhumdulillah still.
Day nine:

Alhumdulillah I didn’t listen to any music today, fully worked to taraweeh recitation. However on my way home I kept humming and singing this one lyric which was from some movie I can’t remember the name of.

It’s getting a little easier. Alhumdulillah still.
Day 10:

I didn’t listen to any music at all, didn’t listen to anything actually, but when I was cooking I kept singing this random lyric like yesterday, I need help with stopping that tbh.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 11:

Did pretty well today Alhumdulillah, I didn’t listen to anything and didn’t really have anything stuck in my head except one lyric which I mentioned a bunch of times, but I did manage to control a bit of the urge.

Alhumdulillah still
Day 12:

Alhumdulillah I didn’t listen to any music today and I also didn’t think of any lyrics or sing any Alhumdulillah!! I mainly listened to Quran today and managed to get a lot more work done whilst listening to it than usual.
I am proud of myself today

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 13:

So I forgot to post this yesterday but I didn’t listen to music all day, Alhumdulillah.
I had an ayah stuck in my head for most of the morning which I had figured out and I do think I hummed a couple of times.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 14:

Fell asleep and forgot to update but I kind of went off track yesterday and half listened to some music and also had a craving for it because I was annoyed, but I stopped and didn’t listen to anything for the remainder of the day. Alhumdulillah though.
Day 15:

Today was calm, didn’t have cravings and didn’t listen to music, I did hum some random lyric though, but nothing else.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 16:

Ok I am so proud of myself today, Alhumdulillah I didn’t listen to any music nor did I have any cravings for it...nor did I hum anything or sing a lyric, Alhumdulillah for all that.

I hope it carries on this way.
Alhumdulillah still.
Day 17:

Today was decent Alhumdulillah, just listened to Quran and didn’t listen to music or craved any music either. I didn’t him anything either, so I think I’m doing good Alhumdulillah.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 18:

Today went well, didn’t listen to anything Cos I was away from my laptop and phone and was pretty busy throughout the day, I think I only blurted out one lyric and Asian song stuck in my head around 4pm and now I have an ayah stuck in my head.

Alhumdulillah still.

Not even going to lie, today I was craving music, like I literally felt like listening to it But Alhumdulillah I kept myself in check and resisted the urge, whilst doing work I focused on Quran and Alhumdulillah I was ok. I didn’t hum/sing either.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 23:

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 25;

Not gna lie, today was rough, I listened to some Quran and then I ended up listening to music Cos I was so annoyed and just needed to drown everything for a bit. I’m disappointed in myself ngl.

I feel like an idiot.
Day 26:

I lowkey felt like I’ve fallen off track like I listened to music a couple of times and sang too which obviously is not good. But I’m hoping to get back on track make progress. I refuse to go back into this habit.

May Allah make it easy for me, aameen.

Day 32:

Today was better than yesterday to an extent, I feel I listened to less music

Day 37:

Almost forgot to do this, most of today I didn’t listen to music and managed pretty well, but then I got really stressed and listened to music.

Alhumdulillah still.
Days 116-159

Over this time it’s been hard, there’s been times where I haven’t listened to music at all and days where I have; although it hasn’t been as hardcore. The craving for music isn’t there but when a lyric comes to mind I end up listening.

Alhumdulillah still
Days 117-197

I’ve been slacking with updates/progress/everything. But in regards to my journey I have stopped listening to music all the time but I listen once or twice a week. I just need that final push to fully stop and continue not listen again.

It’s harder than it sounds.
Days 198-370

I KNOW I haven’t updated this in a long time but I’ve failed myself and was annoyed and embarrassed to put it up but I’m facing it today. I haven’t done well, I went back to listening to music but I am going to retry once again starting today InshaAllah.

Bismillah.
Day 371
(20/04/2020)

However I am definitely going to work on this InshaAllah to leave it for good.

Alhumdulillah still.
Day 372

Alhumdulillah I didn’t listen to music intentionally today. I skipped through most videos which had songs as a background thingy as well to avoid it as well.

Alhumdulillah still.
Days 373-375

I have managed to decrease the amount of music I listen to Alhumdulillah. Every time I have the urge to listen to music I either start writing or I listen to Quran and so far Alhumdulillah I haven’t intentionally listened to anything except a few times in the car.
