Advice for one afflicted with Satan's whispers in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After repenting to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and praising and thanking Him day and night, Satan may possess a person in many matters, some of which may be of no consequence, even in the standing of the prayer. He says, “What good does this act of worship do you?” and so on. So what do you advise me to do?
Answer:
We advise you to seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan at the beginning of the prayer with a present heart. If Satan whispers to you during the prayer, reject his whisper, do not turn to it, and do not pay attention to it. If you reject it, leave it, and do not turn to it, then Satan will move away from you, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
