A virtuous: such as performing wudu or making salaah. Another question: How can a person suppress or get rid of bad thoughts while doing a virtuous deed. Or is suppressing a thought a way of get rid of bad thoughts while performing a virtuous deed?
1. The fact that a person feels guilty about the evil thoughts is an
indication of his firm faith. This being the case, there is no need to
recite the Kalimah. However, the frequent recitation of the Kalimah is a
virtuous deed recommended for refreshing one’s Imaan. You may also recite,
‘A’oodhu billaahi minas shaytaanir rajeem’ and ‘Laa hawla walaa quwwata
illaa billaah’ when confronted with evil thoughts.
2. Instead of suppressing these evil thoughts, think positively and direct
your attention to something else.
