Treatment of Obsessions and Intrusive Thoughts Related to Creed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man asks: What is the treatment for the obsessions and intrusive thoughts that come and stir up in a person's heart and are related to the creed?

Answer:
The treatment is easy. The treatment is that you seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.
And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
[Fussilat 41:36]
Seek refuge in Allah when you feel something. Seek refuge in Allah. Also, do not speak about these doubts and intrusive thoughts; do not speak about them. The Ummah is excused for error and forgetfulness, and it is excused for that. And
enters the mind, so long as it is not spoken of or put into actionحدثت به أنفسها ما لم تتكلم أو تعمل

Reject them and leave them, and they will not harm you, by the permission of Allah.
