What are the best times to make dua?

Yes, there are special times: the last third of the night, sujood, between adhan and iqamah, Friday's hour, and when fasting or traveling.

Yes, many Christmas movies are fine. Judge the content: skip sexual scenes, avoid films portraying prophets, and watch in moderation.

It depends. Respectful chats for work, study or real needs are fine. Flirting and aimless private DMs with the opposite gender are not.

It depends, but popular choices include Sahih International, The Clear Quran by Mustafa Khattab and Abdel Haleem's translation.

Yes, sujood is when you're closest to Allah. Say the basic dhikr, then add your own dua. Schools differ on duas in obligatory prayers.

It depends. Following public figures isn't haram, but unfollow accounts that regularly post immodest images or pull you from your deen.

Yes, if you choose carefully. What's usually safe, the meat question, shared utensils, and how to ask for halal options.

It depends: background Christmas music isn't a sin, but don't sing hymns calling Jesus God; secular songs follow your view on music.

It depends: a school or community concert is treated more leniently than a church carol service. Muslims don't sing hymns calling Jesus God.

Yes, when it's aimless and takes hours. Relaxing is allowed, but free time is a blessing, so open apps with a purpose and a limit.

Yes, say "A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim." The Prophet taught it for anger. Then sit down, stay quiet and step away.

Treat it as a habit to retrain: cut triggers, replace scrolling with better habits, use prayer times as breaks, and ask Allah for help.
