The questioner : He says that he is a young man of fifteen years old who maintains the prayer with its obligatory pillars, but he says that he faces a problem, which is the whispers of the self, and his whispers regarding the Creator, even though he is a believer and enthusiastic with intense faith. This troubles him greatly, so how can he get rid of it? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : These whispers that afflict the believing person are not strange and are not a novelty in the matter; rather, they are ancient. The Companions complained of them to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Whenever faith enters the heart and settles in it, such whispers occur, because Shaytan wants to corrupt a person's faith, so he introduces these whispers to him. However, the believer does not rely on them, even if they come to his heart; he rejects them and does not accept them. For this reason, if he were asked directly, "Do you believe in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) what you are whispering about now?" he would say, "No, absolutely not." This indicates that his heart has rejected these whispers that Shaytan casts. But Shaytan makes these whispers a shadow on the heart and tries to cast them into it as much as he can, but the believer rejects them decisively.
And the cure for that is that you seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and that you stop from them and turn away from them completely. Seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan is seeking refuge in the Creator who has the dominion of all things, and stopping from them cuts off the whispers of Shaytan that he casts into your heart. It was mentioned to 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas, or Ibn Mas'ud, that the Jews used to say, "We do not have whispers in our prayer." He said: "Yes, they told the truth, and what does Shaytan do with a ruined heart?" Meaning that the hearts of the Jews were ruined, so whether they were present in their prayer or not, it was all defective; their prayer was defective and not accepted because they were disbelievers, and the presence of their hearts did not benefit them. The pure believer is the one to whom Shaytan comes with such whispers to confuse him and make him doubt. But if he seeks refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan and stops from that and turns away, it does not harm him. And as I mentioned recently, the sign that this is a whisper that does not harm you is that if someone said to you, "Do you believe this about Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? Do you believe this about the religion of Allah? Do you believe this about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" your answer would be complete rejection. This indicates that they are whispers with no basis and no proof. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. From the province of Nineveh in Iraq, the listener who symbolized his name by saying "your Muslim brother Q M 'A" asks and says.
