Sunnat by reading the weekly booklets and other books of Maktaba-tul-Madinah.

2.   Ponder on the harms of sins: When a person sins, he invites the wrath of Allah Almighty, he is distanced from Paradise, he is brought closer to Hell, he places himself in hardship, he makes his inner-self impure, he causes harm to the angels writing down deeds, he displeases Allah Almighty and the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he deceives all humans and disobeys his Merciful Lord.

3.   Develop the fear of a bad death in your heart: Remaining engaged in sins while having a desire for sins, and not being given the ability to repent are also causes of a bad end. (Hirs, p. 42, selected)
