Intrusive thoughts and whispers trouble me during prayer, so I am forced to raise my voice as much as possible. What is the ruling on this?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. You say that when you say the opening takbir and begin the prayer, you start by reciting al-Fatihah. At that point, intrusive thoughts and whispers come over you, and you do not know what you have recited. You are forced to raise your voice as much as possible. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
Do not pay attention to this waswas (whispering) and do not concern yourself with it. You should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan at the beginning of the prayer, then recite al-Fatihah and whatever is easy for you of the Qur'an in the first two rak'ahs. Do not turn to the waswas or let it disturb your prayer. It may increase and confuse you. Seek refuge in Allah from the waswas and from Shaytan, and do not pay attention to it. Proceed with your prayer and recitation, and it will be removed from you, if Allah wills.
