The beast of Shaytan that's hijacking your mind
A beast that billions of £'s have been spent creating.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Billions of people are caught in its trap.
Feeding off their attention to enrich its creators.
But it's a beast.
And any beast can be tamed.
Doomscrolling is one of Shaytan’s strongest beasts.
Here's how to defeat this habit forever:
1. The Origin
This beast was formed for one purpose: to drain you of your attention.
It throws flashing colours, pretty girls and petty gossip at you non-stop.
Bombards you with more data than your entire bloodline combined ever saw.
Why?
To fry your brain into a well-cooked consoomer.
An NPC who doesn't think, but feels.
The perfect target for an ad campaign.
2. The Trap
Billions upon billions have been sent to create this beast.
Top behavioural scientists, PhDs in neuroscience and psychology, are dedicating their careers to it.
All to create the ultimate vampire.
That feeds off your attention, not blood.
Its goal?
Not to kill you.
Just to drain you until you're a half-dead husk.
3. The Method
Long day at work. You want to unwind.
To turn your brain off and look at flashing colours.
That's when it strikes.
When you're:
- Tired
- Bored
- Lonely
- Anxious
- Stressed
- Avoiding a task
4. The Weapon
The beast wants to take what's yours: your attention.
And, in exchange, give you cheap dopamine
So reverse it.
Instead of coming home and numbing your brain to receive the nonsense.
Empty out the nonsense in your mind.
Open your notes and dump your thoughts.
Journal your Qur’an reflections. Struggles. Things you’re grateful for or pissing you right off.
It'll be a lot more fulfilling than anything you could scroll past.
5. The Weakness
The beast has one main weakness:
Focus.
Focus on what you're watching.
What you’re eating. Who you’re with. Why you opened the app in the first place.
Because once the process of active thought happens,
The beast no longer has control.
6. The Cage
Remember, you have to go to its lair.
It's not like TikTok is imprinted on your eyeballs.
Trap the beast in a cage.
- Put the apps in a locked folder
- Use grayscale to dull your screen
- Set screen time limits
- Log out every time you close
- Never take your phone to your room
It grows only if you allow it to.
So trap it in darkness.
For those who want to defeat this beast forever, and the other great beasts of the Shaytan, I built something for you.

Looks sick innit :)
Level up by defeating your nafs and tracking the habits that will better you, not drain you.

P.S: Quick one today.
Expect the next one to be long, but if you read it, you will have the utmost advantage to win in 2026.
It’s the guaranteed formula to succeed.
Not guaranteed by me.
But by the Creator of the Pen, the Throne and Time.

Success = Belief + Action + Truth + Patience
Allah’s peace upon you til then.
