Treating Doubts and Obsessions in Acts of Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Fu'ad Muhammad. He says: I am truly afflicted with some doubts and some suspicions, especially obsessions in acts of worship. These suspicions and doubts come over me from time to time, especially regarding the relationship between Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His servants. What is your guidance on this matter?
Answer:
The guidance on this is that you should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan if you feel any of these bad anxieties or deviant thoughts. You should seek refuge in Allah (Mighty and Majestic), hold fast to your religion, and recite the Qur'an so that what you mentioned will go away from you. Increase your remembrance of Allah, including tasbih, tahlil, and takbir. Keep the company of people of good and righteousness, and stay away from people of evil. Stay away from the misleading matters shown on screens. Stay away from these things and ask Allah for steadfastness upon your religion. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
