Getting Rid of Whispers in Acts of Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Ahmad asks: How does a man or a woman get rid of intrusive thoughts, especially some of the intrusive thoughts in acts of worship, as well as personal intrusive thoughts?
Answer:
First, get rid of it by rejecting it and not paying attention to it. Second, seek refuge in Allah from it. Allah the Exalted said:[Fussilat 41:36]. And in the last surah of the Qur'an, which is Surah [An-Nas 114:3-4]. The whispering of Shaytan: if you are negligent in the remembrance of Allah, he whispers to you, but if you remember Allah, he retreats and moves away from you. So it is whispering when you are negligent in the remembrance of Allah, and retreat when you remember Allah the Exalted. Yes.
