Advice to quit drinking

Question

Is there a dua that I can make for a person to quit drinking for good inshallah? Also, Is there a dua to have someone be guided to the right path inshaallah? Jazakallah.

Answer

It should be understood that all types of intoxicants and drugs are impermissible (haraam) in Islam (that includes alcohol). All such things should be avoided and if one is involved in consuming these drugs and intoxicants, one should immediately seek forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala and refrain from using it ever again.

One can recite: Allahumma inni asalukal huda wattuqa wal a'faafa wal ghina (Muslim)
meaning:'O Allah! I beseech you for guidance, piety, chastity and contentment'.

And Allah knows best.
