Cure for Obsessive Thoughts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what is the action that removes obsessive thoughts? I am truly afflicted with them, even though I am diligent in keeping my prayers. Will I be rewarded for my patience and for seeking reward from Allah? And how can these obsessive thoughts be removed from me?
Answer:
[An-Nahl 16:98], if you feel the whispers of doubt, [An-Nahl 16:98], or else that [Al-A'raf 7:200] is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Also, do not pay attention to the whispers of doubt; reject them so they do not affect you. Leave them, distance yourself from them, and consider them as if they do not exist, and they will go away by the permission of Allah. Yes.
