Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a long question, but in summary, the questioner complains of intrusive thoughts and that he has many problems. So what do you advise him? May Allah grant you success.
Answer:
We advise him to seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan, because intrusive thoughts are from Shaytan. He should frequently seek refuge from Shaytan, recite his morning and evening adhkar, and increase in reciting the Qur'an and the remembrance of Allah. He should not pay attention to the intrusive thought, but rather reject it and never be affected by it. By this, if Allah wills, Allah will cure him of it.
