Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, obsessions have become widespread recently, so what is the successful and effective treatment for them from the Book and the Sunnah?
Answer:
Seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the whispering Satan. Obsessions are from Satan. You must seek refuge in Allah from Satan and recite the morning and evening adhkar. Recite Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (Surat al-Falaq and Surat al-Nas). Repeat these surahs. And seek refuge in Allah from Satan. And they will go away from you, if Allah wills. Also, do not pay attention to the obsession, do not worry about it, and do not talk about it. Leave it alone, and it will not harm you, by the permission of Allah.
