Understanding Shirk: Dealing with Doubts about Allah and the Prophet

Q: What is shirk? I am getting waswasas about Allah. I don’t know I had thoughts in my mind that Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) isn’t the prophet and all that I don’t know it was in my mind and then I took my mind off. Is this shirk?

A: Do not pay attention to these waswasas and doubts. Commence reading the fazaail-e-Aa’maal, fazaail-e-sadaqaat and fazaail-e-durood morning and evening. These doubts and waswasas will go away.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : جاء ناس من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسألوه إنا نجد في أنفسنا ما يتعاظم أحدنا أن يتكلم به قال أو قد وجدتموه قالوا نعم قال ذاك صريح الإيمان (رواه مسلم باب بيان الوسوسة في الإيمان وما يقوله من وجدها 1/79)

وعن ابن عباس أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إن الله تجاوز عن أمتي الخطأ والنسيان وما استكرهوا عليه رواه ابن ماجه والبيهقي (مشكوٰة المصابيح ص584)
