Question:
He says: I find fantasies and whispers in my mind and heart that anger Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Will my Lord hold me accountable for them? And what is the cure for those whispers? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Whispers are from Shaytan, and Allah does not hold one accountable for them; rather, He forgives them, as it came in the hadith: “Allah has forgiven my ummah (the Muslim community) for mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do,”
And what their souls whisper to themوما حدثت به أنفسها
As long as it is a mental impulse or a passing thought that a person has, and he does not act upon it, it does not harm him. But the cure is that he seeks refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, that he increases in the remembrance of Allah, and that he does not pay attention to this whisper, but rather rejects it completely. It will not harm him, by the permission of Allah. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
