I\u2019ve been learning a lot about addiction and have been able to unpick unhelpful thought processes in my head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Is this a bad sign, do I have weak faith? Shaytaan is tricking me into thinking that I\u2019m getting more benefit from the secular book. I know it\u2019s not true, I know the secular book is just an enabler of the Quran\u2019s message (avoid harmful foods) but I\u2019m not sure whether I should \u201cneed\u201d the secular book. It feels like I should only need the Quran to get me off of sugar and that\u2019s it. Is my understanding correct or have I gone too far?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><b>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><b>Answer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Knowledge that is beneficial can be taken from other than the Quran and Hadith.
