Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that he has many intrusive thoughts (waswas), and he has doubted that he may have uttered a word of disbelief, so he repeated the two testimonies of faith, but Shaytan has not left him alone. What is the guidance for him in this matter?
Answer:
It is Shaytan who encouraged him to do this. He should repeat the two testimonies of faith, and he only has doubt. He is a Muslim, praise be to Allah. It is sufficient that he is a Muslim and that he leaves the intrusive thoughts.
