I am 22 years old, and I have been masturbating for a very long time. Can you please advise me about any cure from the Quran to stop committing this sin.

There is no verse in the Holy Quran that appears to have a cure for this habit. However, getting married and fulfilling your desires in the permissible way is one of the best ways to stop committing this prohibited act. It was reported that whoever gets married, two thirds of his religion is guarded.

If a person is sitting at home, listening to such music that can cause enjoyment and ‘tarab’ but he is just listening without dancing, is this permissible?

No, it is not permissible.

What proof is there that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) was created from light?

It is mentioned in many narrations that the Prophet and the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) were lights created before the creation of Adam (peace be upon him). To this effect, the Ziyara of Jame’a includes the passage: “Allah created you as lights around His throne until he blessed us with you…”. This does not mean that they were created from this material light. It is rather, a metaphysical meaning that the narration referred to it. Allah Knows best.
