Answer:

Stopped watching pornography

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol,  no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah Subhanah at times sends His warnings in mysterious ways to his beloved and righteous slaves,  and warns them against doing injustice to their own souls.    If they recognize His warnings,  repent,  and amend their deeds;  indeed they are the fortunate ones. 

If you have taken the falling of the glass frame of an Aayah of the Holy Quran as a warning and subsequently repented and amended your deeds,   then indeed you have done the right thing.   May Allah Subhanah accept your repentance,  and reward you generously in the life of this world and in the Hereafter.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 17: Allah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance,  and repent soon afterwards;  to them will Allah turn in Mercy; for Allah is full of  Knowledge and Wisdom.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
