Please make dua for my father who’s suffering

As salamu alaykum everyone. My father is very dear to me and we have an amazing bond alhamdulillah. My dad has schizophrenia which he gets treated for and it doesn’t affect me or my siblings. He also has a smoking addiction. He tries to stop every now and then but can’t go for more than a few weeks. Every time I ask him what made him come back to smoking he says ”Allah didn’t help me. I waited but He didn’t help me” and I just see the disappointment in his eyes. Also, in 1984-1986 ish i think, my family discovered black magic in my dad’s bag. My dad was the target. At the time, there were no sheikhs in the country we live in and they went instead to a kurdish religious man to ask what to do with it. They came to the conclusion that it was best to throw it in the sea. We don’t know to this day who did the black magic, why, or if it still has effects on my dad or not. I just want everyone here to please raise your hands and make sincere dua for my father, that Allah keeps him healthy, helps him stop smoking, and protect him from every evil. May Allah bless you all!

Hello everyone. I’m ethnically Palestinian, I speak, read, and write fluently alhamdulillah. But living in the west makes me speak arabic very rarely outside of home, and I can feel it slowly weakening which is one of my biggest fears because my culture is very dear to me. How do I keep my srabic fluent? Do you have any series/movies in arabic (preferably palestinian) that I could watch? Any tips or advice on how to keep it fluent? Thanks in advance!

I know music is haram but i just cant stop listening. Before, I was much more religious. I listened to alot of nasheed and Quran, and I stopped listening to music for a whole year. I felt guilty every time I’d hear a song on social media. Now I can’t seem to stop listening. It’s gotten to the point where unfortunately, I stopped interacting with the Quran as much and I feel bored while reading/listening to it. How do I overcome this? How do I make it easier for myself to avoid music? Thank you in advance
