Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am always afraid of the unknown, and I am afraid of death, and I do not feel the taste of life. So I ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to guide me and benefit me by telling me what I should do?
Answer:
This is waswas (whispers of doubt), my brother. This is waswas, and it is from Shaytan. You must reject it, stay away from it, and seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan. Hope for good, have a good opinion of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), do acts of obedience, avoid sins, and be glad with good news. Yes.
