Satan's insinuations


463

Q 2: I suffer from doubt and insinuations in my Salah (Prayers) and Sawm (Fasting). I always have this feeling, and sometimes I doubt Allah's existence and that Salah is worthless, etc. Are such insinuations a physical or psychological disease or a bad habit? Am I committing a sin? What will my condition be on the Day of Resurrection when I am brought to account before Allah? Is there a remedy in Islam for these doubts and insinuations?


A: Such doubts and insinuations are from Satan. You should ignore and pay no attention to them. Seek refuge in Allah from Satan and frequently say, "I believe in Allah and His messengers." This is the advice of the Prophet (peace be upon him) for whoever experiences such insinuations.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
