How can one expel whispers during prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a man who has repented in Ramadan, but the sins I used to commit pursue me. In my obligatory prayers and the night prayer, I repel them every time by seeking refuge from Satan. I think about the details of the sin during the prayer, then I seek refuge in Allah again. What should I do? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
You must repent to Allah and not pay attention to the whispers of Satan. Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin. The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
[Az-Zumar 39:53]
. So be sincere in your repentance and be glad of the good from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and do not pay attention to the whispers of Satan. Yes.
