Completely deactivating images in Firefox: Edit -> Preferences -> Content: Remove the check at "Loading Pictures Automatically".
(You might want to add exceptions for safe websites like Sunniforum.com or Askimam.org)

Completely deactivating flash: Uninstall the Flash Player (YES, it is possible to live without flash, there are plenty of people who enjoy the web without flash.)

Anyways, these are all only measures to prevent pulling the trigger of the urge.

In effect the above measures should be a standard, every Muslim should actually already have taken precautions because many things mentioned in the above are not permissible anyway.

But keep in mind: In the same way you are able to de-activate images/flash you are also able to activate them. The real reason which keeps you from doing the bad habit is to actually have strong iman. Strong iman is the only thing which keeps you from actually doing sin when being alone.
That is why you need to strengthen your iman by the will of Allah through dhikr; e.g. read Quran.

At some time, even with all these precautions the urge might nevertheless come up because it will be a simple waswasi proposal from Shaytan.
This is the point where the actual combat starts and it is won purely by your heart fearing Allah, doing dhikrullah and simply NOT doing it.

May Allah strengthen and guide you. Amin

There is an addon for firefox that, by default, blocks all flash from playing. If you want it to play a particular flash, click on it. I highly recommend it. Download from:

And for blocking images also there is an addon. It just makes the process faster. You just need to click an icon on top of fire fox to toggle images on/off. Also highly recommended. Download from:

Not all whisperings ( Khawatir ) are from the devil. For details, check the book " Irshadul Mulook ".

Some times the urge comes to the mind in order to remind the guy that he should get married soon. So, he should
start taking preparations. Because, marriage is not a free lunch. Marriage will provide you both --joy of love as well as responsibility.

There is a hadeeth that narrated like "Nikah completes the Imaan". So when Imaan gets completed, bad thoughts gets vanished, precautions still are recommended to stay away from it.

If I remember correctly I read the 'don't eat spicy food' in a brochure I found on brother Saad's webspace.

A much easier way to stop would be to have Taqwa and doing Dhikr all the time, Masturbation is from lust, not from Shaytaan, a believer has 2 enemies, Shaytaan and lust, the 2 are distinguishable, Shaytaan doesn't care what Haram you commit as long as you do it and lust is the urge to perform a specific Haram all the time. When you can master your lust, then only will you become strong minded, that means, no movies, no music, no zina, no useless things on TV, no wasting time on the useless things of this Dunya...

Do not watch porn, because it is the work of the devil, and it will corrupt the mind and you will lose the attraction to women, which you will need for marriage.
