Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullah) narrated:
It is reported that in Egypt, there was a man who would maintain the mosques, making the call to prayer, etc. He was, by all outward means, an obedient person & devout worshipper.
One day, as he usually would, he ascended the minaret to make the call to prayer. At the base of the minaret, there was a Christian woman standing. He saw her, & was seduced by her looks. So, he descended the minaret, went to her, & entered her home. She said to him: “Who are u, & what do u want?”
He replied: “I want u.”
She said: “ Y?”
He said: “ U have enslaved my eyes, & u have captured my heart.”
She said: “I will never answer ur desire in a doubtful or suspicious manner.”
He said: “Ok, so, I will marry u, then.”
She said: “ U are a Muslim, & I am a Christian. My father will never allow me to marry u.”
He said: “So, I will become a Christian.”
She said: “If u wish to do so, go ahead.“
So, the man became a Christian in order to marry this woman, & lived with the woman’s family in her house. Later on that day, however, he was on the roof of the house. He fell from the roof & died without even having enjoyed his new bride. So, he lost the woman, & he lost his religion.”

Dear brother/ sister
If u hav developed an attachment & obsession for a haraam relationship/ business dealing/ addiction...please let it go. Don't sacrifice ur everlasting Aakhirah for the short-lived pleasures of this temporary world.
Jannah is for ever & ever.
May اللّه Subhana Ta'ala Keep us all on the straight path & Grant us death in a condition most pleasing to Him.
