Block distracting games
Use Hisn app blocking for distracting games or entertainment apps so games are not the automatic first tap.
Block Games Until Dhikr
Make dhikr before games
Nafs is for Muslims who keep opening games before dhikr. Use Hisn to block distracting games or entertainment apps, make dhikr or complete another ibadah action, then return to screen time with intention.
1 minute of ibadah = 1 minute of screen time.
How games become dhikr-first
Make dhikr first
Use dhikr, tasbeeh, or adhkar as the replacement action before gaming, videos, feeds, or other screen time.
Earn intentional time
Dhikr and other ibadah actions can contribute to earned screen-time minutes before returning to games with clearer intention.
Keep claims careful
Nafs supports app-blocking and habit routines, not medical treatment, unavoidable blocking, or guaranteed behavior change.
