Treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Ritual Purity, Prayer, and Creed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I am facing the problem of obsessive thoughts (waswas) in ritual purity, prayer, and creed.

Answer:
The treatment is seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
[Al-A'raf 7:200]
. This is the first and best treatment. Second, you must reject the obsessive thoughts and not pay attention to them. Then, by the permission of Allah, they will leave you. However, if you interact with them and give them importance, they will increase upon you. Yes.
