Dealing with Whispers in Acts of Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Mu'adh from Dammam, says: When a person is overwhelmed by whispers, what is required of him, especially in matters of worship? And what about the whispers of the self in matters of tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
Answer:
He should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. He should frequently seek refuge in Allah. Whenever he feels something, he seeks refuge in Allah from Shaytan, and it departs from him by the permission of Allah. That is one thing. The second thing is that he should not pay attention to the whispers. He should leave them alone, not be concerned with them, not turn to them, and they will not harm him, if Allah wills.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
