Q: I have been getting shaitaani waswasas for a while now. I have read some duas and prayed to Allah for protection. But in a day I keep getting them 3-4 times. And these waswasas are so bad that I will prefer dying than speaking of it. I am very afraid. I am afraid that I may commit shirk or kufr if these waswasas keep coming in my mind. Please help me in this matter. Provide me some ways to get out of this situation.
A: This is not a sin. When it is not a sin then why should you be worried about it. Muslims should be worried about things that are sinful and things that will amount to disobedience.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
