Literal meaning of [ Waswasah]

Dear Islamic brothers! The word 2 1 [Waswasah] literally
means a whisper. In terms of Shariah, Waswasah means evil
thoughts and ideas. (Ashiah, vol. 1, pp. 300)
It is stated in the book Tafseer Baghawi: Waswasah is the

thought that Satan produces in the heart of a human being.
(Tafseer Baghawi, vol. 2, 4, pp. 127, 518)
Usually, everyone experiences satanic whispers. Someone

experiences them a lot and someone a little. Some deeply
sensitive people continue to think about satanic whispers and
get into trouble. If ignored, satanic whispers usually come to
an end. As soon as you begin to experience satanic whispers,
start remembering Allah . For example, start saying Allah,
Allah. Satan will flee,

. The more a Muslim
worships Allah , the more Satan opposes him, showing his
enmity. Laying various kinds of deceitful traps, Satan makes
every possible effort to prevent him from worshiping Allah
and from following the Sunnah of His Beloved and Blessed
Prophet 6 ( 8)( 3 5
4 .
Satan continues to disturb him by producing different types of

filthy and evil thoughts in his mind. Sometimes, man falls prey
to satanic whispers in ignorance, giving up a righteous and pious
deed. Thus Satan becomes successful in his mission. Allah

extracted from page 79 and 80 of the 344-page book 2 1
[Minhaj-ul-Aabideen] published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah,
the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: Allah has
appointed an angel on the heart of every human being. The
angel continues to invite him towards righteousness. This

angel is called 2 1 [Mulhim] and his invitation is called

2 1 [Ilhaam]. On the other hand, a Satan is also appointed
by Allah . This Satan invites him towards evils. The Satan
is called 2 1 [Waswaas] and his invitation is called 2 1

has
further stated: Although most scholars of Islam :;
<

9
&
are of the opinion that the angel invites people only towards
righteousness and the Satan only towards evils, yet my spiritual
guide has stated that Satan sometimes makes people indulge in
evils even by apparently inviting them towards righteousness.
He does so by inviting them towards a minor act of righteousness
instead of a major one or makes them commit a major sin that
is much more severe than the reward of a pious deed. For
example, if a person has performed a pious deed, Satan makes
him indulge in self-satisfaction.

Who is called 2

It is stated in the books 2 1 [Mirqat] and 2 1
[Ashia-tul-Lamaat] that as soon as a human baby is born, a Satan
baby is also born. The Satan baby is called 2 1 [Hamzad] in
Persian and 2 1 [Waswaas] in Arabic. (Ashia-tul-Lamaat,
vol. 1, pp. 87; Mirqat, vol. 1, pp. 244; Mirat, vol. 1, pp. 83)

the Revered and Renowned Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 4 5 has said,

angel. People asked, Ya Rasoolallah 6 ( 8 )( 3 5

you? He 6 ( 8)( 3 5

but Allah helped me against him, making him Muslim.
He now gives me suggestion only about goodness.
(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1512, Hadees 2814)
Everyone is accompanied by a Satan

Dear Islamic brothers! Keep it in mind that only the accompanying
Satan of the Beloved Prophet 6 ( 8)( 3 5
4 became Muslim.
The accompanying Satans of all other people are devout [i.e.
strong] disbelievers. Anyway, a Satan who is a devout disbeliever
is appointed to cause whispers in our hearts and he continues
to oppose us all the time, showing his enmity against us.

Minhaj-ul-Aabideen published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the
publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: Satan is free but you
are busy. He watches you but you cannot see him. You have
forgotten him but he has not forgotten you. Even inside you
are many of the friends and helpers of Satan (such as Nafs and
desires etc.). Therefore, it is essential to fight against Satan and
to defeat him. Otherwise, you cannot stay safe from the mischiefs
and harms of Satan. (Minhaj-ul-Aabideen (Arabic), pp. 46)

6 Severe harms of overeating

Those who eat too much should ponder how they will get rid of
Satan. Hujjat-ul-Islam, Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali

)

has stated: It is narrated that overeating causes

six evils:
1. There is no more Divine fear in the heart.
2. There is no sympathy with others because those who stuff

themselves assume that everyone is like them and hence
do not have pity for others.
3. Worship seems to be a burden.
4. Softness is not produced in the heart by listening to the

pieces of advice and (Sunnah-inspiring) speeches.
7
5. If an overeating person is a preacher and delivers speeches,

telling others the words of wisdom, it makes no impact on
the hearts of people.
6. Various kinds of diseases are caused.
(Summarized from: Ihya-ul-Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 40)
Ya Ilahi bhook ki dawlat say mala maal ker

Translation: O Almighty! Bless me with the wealth of hunger.

Make me prosperous in the worldly life as well as in the afterlife by
Your grace.
(In order to learn about the benefits of hunger and harms of

overeating in detail, read Excellence of Hunger a chapter of
Faizan-e-Sunnat volume 1.)
When Allah cursed Satan, so Satan declared enmity

against man. What Satan said is quoted in verses 16 and 17 of
Surah Al-Araf in part 8:

Various tricks of satanic whispers

Dear Islamic brothers! Satan is the enemy of even his own
close friends who have no enmity towards him. Disbelievers,
deviants, transgressors and sinners do not oppose Satan but
rather obey him. Even then Satan does not spare them and
continues to cause his whispers in their hearts, making them
more and more stubborn and bringing them closer to doom
and destruction. Now imagine how bitter enmity Satan will
have towards those scholars of Islam and preachers of Sunnah

2 . 1 [i.e. may Allah increase such people] who
9
always oppose and annoy him by informing Muslims about his

attacks, thus throwing cold water on his misleading plans. We
should always seek refuge of Allah from the whispers of
Satan because this accursed one is extremely clever and cunning.
He causes whispers in the heart of everyone in view of his psyche.
A renowned commentator, a great thinker of Ummah, Mufti

Ahmad Yar Khan '/
. /
0 &
has stated, Remember! Satan
causes scholarly whispers in the hearts of scholars, devotional
whispers in the hearts of Sufis and ordinary whispers in the
hearts of general people. That is, he casts a different net to
catch a different type of person. Many times, (Satan makes sins
so attractive that) man commits a sin, assuming it to be an act
of worship. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 87)
Sometimes, Satan appears in front of a person and calls himself

to be the Almighty, trying to mislead the person. He did so when
he appeared in front of the King of Baghdad, his grace Ghaus-e-
Azam, Sayyiduna Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Jeelani =

Satanic whispers about Allah

The Beloved and Blessed Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 5

Satan comes to anyone of you and says, Who has created so-
and-so thing and so-and-so thing? Satan even says, Who has
created your Lord? When he disturbs you to this extent, recite

2 . 1 and refrain from it.
(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 399, Hadees 3276)
Not every question is answered

Commenting on the foregoing Hadees, a renowned commentator,
a great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan '/

has stated: Do not even try to think about the answer to this
satanic whisper. Otherwise, Satan will ask another question.

Drive him away by reciting 2 . 1.
Not every question is answered. When Satan did not prostrate

himself in front of Sayyiduna Aadam :; <

'B
CD (4
and
E +(F

gave reasons for it, Allah did not reply to them. Instead,

Allah said 2 1 (i.e. you get out of Heaven).1

Keep it in mind that reciting 2

powerful and effective invocation to drive away Satan.
(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 82)

Quranic cure for satanic whisper

Dear Islamic brothers! It became obvious that one should

get rid of satanic whispers by reciting 2
. 1.
The Holy Quran has also commanded that one should seek
refuge of Allah in case of experiencing satanic whispers. It
is stated in verse 200 of Surah Al-Araf in part 9:

, / 0 , ' 3U K h iJ #'
j p j
;tuu8 )j * s q ] r !Z (_m no#$ l I #& k5Z
And O listener! If any whisper from the devil provokes you, so

seek the refuge of Allah; indeed He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 9, Surah Al-Araf, verse 200)
12
Mujh ko day day panah shaytan say

Is say Iman mayra bacha Ya Rab
Translation: O Almighty! Grant me refuge from Satan. Protect my

faith from him.
Imam Raazi and Satan

It is stated on page 493 and 494 of the 502-page referenced
book Malfuzaat-e-Ala Hadrat [i.e. Pieces of Advice from Ala
Hadrat] published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing
department of Dawat-e-Islami: When the dying moments of
(Sayyiduna) Imam Fakhruddin Raazi 8)( 3 . 9
& arrived, Satan
appeared. At that time, Satan tries very hard to make the dying
person lose his faith because he knows that the dying person will
never regain faith if he deviates from it at this time. Therefore,
Satan asked Sayyiduna Imam Fakhruddin Raazi 8 )( 3 . 9 & ,
You spent your entire life in debates and discussions. Have
you even recognized the Almighty? Imam Raazi 8 )( 3 . 9 &

said, Without doubt, the Almighty is One. Any proof, asked
. 9
Satan. He 8)( 3 & gave a proof but the cursed Satan, the ex-
teacher of angels, responded cunningly. Imam Raazi 8)( 3 . 9 &
gave another proof but Satan responded again. Sayyiduna
Imam Raazi 8 )( 3 . 9 & gave even 360 proofs but all of them

were responded by Satan. Now the Imam was extremely worried
and disappointed. His spiritual guide (Sayyiduna Shaykh)
Najmuddin Kubra '
)( 3
%
& was making Wudu at a far-flung
13
. 9
area. He called Imam Raazi 8)( 3 & from the very same place,
Why do you not say that I believe in the oneness of Almighty
without any proof?
Dear Islamic brothers! Have you realized how cunningly Satan

attacks! If anyone pays attention to satanic whisper, then Satan
continues to irritate him. Ignoring and paying no attention to
his whispers is also a cure for them. Moreover, one should
always seek refuge of Allah from the mischiefs of Satan. It
also became obvious that one should become a disciple of any
perfect spiritual guide because the attention of the spiritual
guide also prevents satanic whispers.
Hay Attar ko salb-e-Iman ka dharka

Bacha is ka Iman bacha Ghaus-e-Azam
Translation: Attar is fearful of losing his faith. O Ghaus-e-Azam!

Please protect his faith. (Wasail-e-Bakhshish, pp. 296)

( 3 .
Satanic whispers about destiny

Satan also continues to cause his whispers in the heart about
destiny. For example, he says, We are bound to do whatever
we are predestined to do. We are powerless against destiny. We
are doing exactly what has been recorded in our destiny. So,
why is there the punishment of the grave and the Hell etc.?
14
Certainly, it is also a deception of Satan. Do not even think

about it, otherwise Satan will mislead you. Drive him away by

reciting 2
. 1.
What somebody was going to do was recorded in destiny

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember! Allah has already and
always known what everyone was going to do and Allah
recorded their destiny accordingly. This Divine act of knowing
and recording does not force anyone into doing anything. Try
to understand it with the help of the following easy example.
These days, expiry date is printed as a legal requirement on the
tins or cans of food and packets of medicines etc. Even a child
can understand that the manufacturers mention the expiry date
because they know from experience that so-and-so thing will
spoil until a particular date. Therefore, they mention the expiry
date. Certainly, the manufacturers mentioning the expiry date has
not forced the product to spoil. Even if they had not mentioned
it, the thing would still have spoiled after the date mentioned.
Important Fatwa about destiny

It is stated on page 583 to 585 of the 692-page book Kufriyah
Kalimat kay baaray mayn Suwal Jawab [i.e. Questions and
Answers about Blasphemous Sentences] published by
Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-
Islami: It is actually a Fatwa extracted from page 284 and 285
15
of the 29th volume of Fatawa Razawiyyah and presented here

in the form of a question along with its answer.
Question: Zayd says everything happened and will happen with

the command of Allah . Why is the bondman objected to
and why does he become deserving of torment? What wrong
has he done to become deserving of torment? Only what
Allah recorded in destiny happens. This is proved by the
Holy Quran that even a particle cannot move itself without the
Divine command. What wrong has the bondman deliberately
done to become a Hell-dweller or a disbeliever or a transgressor?
If he is predestined to do good deeds, he will do good deeds.
And if he is predestined to do bad deeds, so will do bad deeds.
Under any circumstance, he is bound to do what has been
recorded in his destiny. Why is he then declared to be an evildoer?
If the bad deeds such as stealing, fornicating and killing etc. are
recorded in his destiny, he will certainly commit them. If good
deeds are recorded in his destiny, he will also do them.
Answer: Zayd is a deviant and a misled person. If somebody

hits him with a shoe, why does he get annoyed? It was also
recorded in his destiny. If somebody defrauds him of money,
why does he get furious? It was also recorded in his destiny. To
think that we have to do what has been recorded in our destiny
is actually a satanic deception (and is not true). In fact, Allah
already knew what we were going to do and He recorded
accordingly.

has stated on page 24 of the first volume of the
book Bahar-e-Shariat published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah:
Committing a bad deed and then linking it with destiny and
declaring it to be the outcome of the Divine will is something
very bad. If someone performs a good deed, he is commanded
to consider it grace of Allah and if commits an evil deed,
he should consider it a fault of his own Nafs [baser-self].
Excellent cure for satanic whisper about destiny

Here is a summary of an extract taken from page 86 and 87 of
the 344-page book Minhaj-ul-Aabideen authored by Sayyiduna
Imam Muhammad Ghazali ) +

.
/
0 &

; published by
Islami: Sometimes, Satan misleads people by causing such
whispers as: Whether a person is fortunate or unfortunate has
been decided on the very first day. The one who was unfortunate
that day will remain unfortunate and the one who was fortunate
on that day will remain fortunate. Your good and bad deeds can
never change the fateful decision.
If Allah protects the bondman from this satanic whisper
and the bondman gives this reply to the cursed Satan: I am a
bondman of Allah and the bondman must carry out the
order given by His Creator. As Allah is the Lord of all the
worlds, He gives the order that He wills and does
17
what He wants. Furthermore, acts of worship and

obedience are not harmful in any way. If I am fortunate in Divine
knowledge, even then I need more reward. And, Allah
forbid, if my name is written among the unfortunate ones in
the Divine knowledge, I will still perform good deeds so that I
will not feel ashamed of being tormented because of missing
good deeds. And going to Hell with obedience is better than
going to Hell with disobedience.
In fact, all of them are only doubts because the promise and
the Word of Allah are absolutely truthful. Allah has
made several promises to grant rich reward for obedience and
acts of worship. Therefore, whoever presents himself in the
Divine court with faith and obedience will never enter Hell.
Instead, he will be granted an abode in Jannat-ul-Firdaus by
the grace of Allah and by means of virtuous deeds,
. In actual fact, he will enter Heaven by virtue of the

Divine promise. Expressing the very same truthful promise,

Allah has mentioned the saying of the fortunate ones in
verse 74 of Surah Az-Zumar, part 24 of the Holy Quran:
p
y #U 2 x w l m no
?v #2
And they will say, All praise is for Allah Who has fulfilled His
promise to us.

heart that I like to be burnt to ashes rather than express them.
He 6 ( 8)( 34 5 said, We thank Allah Who has made
these thoughts satanic whispers.
(As-Sunnah li Abi Aasim, pp. 157, Hadees 670)

Ahmad Yar Khan '/

has stated, Allah has
declared these thoughts to be satanic whispers and there is no
punishment for them. He is Gracious and knows the
helplessness of the bondman. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 86)
No punishment for satanic whispers

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah '

% & has narrated that the
Beloved Prophet 6 ( 8)( 3 5

has forgiven the thoughts (i.e. whispers caused by Satan) in the
hearts of my Ummah for me; unless they act upon it and talk
about it. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 153, Hadees 2528)
Commenting on above Hadees, a renowned commentator, a

great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan '/

has stated, There is no punishment for evil thoughts. This is
the particularity of this Ummah. Previous Ummahs were held
accountable even for them (i.e. for having satanic whispers
permanently in the heart or deliberately thinking about them.)
20
Keep it in mind that there is a difference between a bad thought

and a firm bad intention. One is accountable for a firm bad
intention. Even the firm intention of disbelief is disbelief.
Possibility of punishment for satanic whispers

the heart spontaneously and suddenly is called 2 1 [Hajis].
It exists in the heart only for a few moments and then disappears.
Previous Ummahs were forgiven for it and we are also forgiven
for it. However, only we are forgiven for the thought that stays
in the heart; they were not forgiven for that. If there is also
pleasure and happiness with it in the heart, so this is called

2 1 [Hamma]. There is no punishment even for that. If there
is the firm intention of putting into action the evil thought that
has existed in the heart, then there is punishment for it.
(Ashia-tul-Lamaat, vol. 1, pp. 85)
Faith is not destroyed by satanic whispers

No matter how many and how dangerous satanic whispers a
person experiences, his faith is not destroyed by them. Feeling
anxiety in the heart because of experiencing satanic whisper
about faith indicates that the heart is satisfied with faith. In
verse 106 of Surah An-Nahl, Allah has said in part 14:

And his heart is steadfast in faith.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 14, An-Nahl, verse 106)
Considering satanic whispers bad is absolute faith

Dear Islamic brothers! Experiencing satanic whispers about faith
is a sign of the perfection of faith. Thieves and robbers come
where there is huge wealth. Therefore, the more strong the
faith of a person, the more Satan will irritate him. If a Muslim
is anxious and worried about experiencing satanic whispers and
seeks refuge of Allah tearfully from the cursed Satan, this
is actually a sign of strong faith.

Satanic whispers during worship

As Satan causes whispers about faith, he also causes whispers
during acts of worship. He is not alone in this matter; instead,
there is an organized group with him.

groups of the offspring of Satan with different names and
duties. The group that causes whispers during Wudu is called

2 1 [Walhaan] and the group that causes whispers during

Satanic whispers in Masajid

The satanic campaign for whispers is very strong in Masajid.
He makes many Muslims indulge in worldly conversation in
Masajid. He even makes some of them argue with each other
and makes some old people angry, causing them to make
noises in Masajid.

G

# , he makes some of them indulge
in sins such as unlawful gazing, ill manners, backbiting, telling
tales etc. If unable to make some of them indulge in sins, Satan
makes them lazy in virtuous deeds. Everyone may have
experienced it. For example, during Dars and speech being
delivered in Masjid, some people are present in Masjid but
they keep sitting away looking here and there inattentively and
depriving themselves of the blessings of Dars or speech. Those
who remain heedless of the Divine remembrance and lazy in
attending learning sessions of Islamic knowledge etc. despite
25
being present in the Masjid should attentively read the following

Hadees mentioned in Fatawa Razawiyyah:

)( 3
Beloved and Blessed Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 4 5 has said, When
any of you is in the Masjid, Satan comes to him and strokes his
body, as you stroke your horse to make it obedient. If the
person keeps staying (i.e. if he does not reject satanic whispers
instantly), then Satan binds him or gives him rein.

)( 3
% & has said, The authenticity
of this Hadees can be confirmed by observing the condition of
people. You will see that the one who is bound [by Satan] is
bowing and not making Divine Zikr. And the one who has
been given rein [by Satan] has opened his mouth and is not
making the Zikr of Allah . (Musnad Imam Ahmad, Hadees 8378;
Fatawa Razawiyyah referenced, vol. 1, pp. 771-772)

Satanic whispers during Ghusl

Satan also causes doubt during Ghusl. For example, sometimes
the bathing person thinks that his back is perhaps left unwashed.
Perhaps the hair of the head is not properly washed; so-and-so
part of the body is still dry etc. In fact, this is not correct. If the
person has washed a body part thoroughly rubbing it properly,
there is no need to have any doubt.
Cause of satanic whispers during Ghusl

Remember! Passing urine in the bathing area of the bathroom
causes satanic whispers. Therefore, one should avoid it. The Holy
Prophet 6 ( 8)( 3 5
4 has said, One should never pass urine
in the bathroom because he will take a bath or make Wudu in
it. This is because satanic whispers are generally caused by it.
(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 1, pp. 44, Hadees 27)
Explanation of the above-mentioned Hadees

It is stated on page 201 and 202 of the 308-page book Islami
Behno ki Namaz [Salah for Islamic Sisters] published by
Islami: Commenting on the foregoing Hadees, a renowned
commentator, a great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar
Khan '/
. /
0 &
has stated, There is no harm in urinating in
the bathing area if it has a cemented or marbled floor with a
proper slope and a drain. However, it is still better to avoid it.
But if it does not have such a floor and a drain, then passing
27
urine in that area is very bad as the ground will become impure,
and the body will be splashed with impure water during bath
or Wudu.
This Hadees refers to the second case, because the prohibition

is highly emphasized. It has been observed that urination in the
prohibited case causes satanic whispers or suspicion of urine
splashing on the body. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 266)
Parable about the harm caused by satanic whispers

Mentioning an effective cure for satanic whispers, my master
Ala Hadrat, the leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah, Maulana Shah
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan H(9
. 9 &
has stated on page 1043
in part B of the first volume of Fatawa Razawiyyah: Not paying
attention to the satanic whisper, not acting upon it and going
against it [are also cures for it]. Usually, the more a person
pays attention towards the satanic whisper, the more whispers
he experiences. On the other hand, if a person deliberately goes
against the satanic whisper, it disappears within a very short
period of time, by the command of Allah . Sayyiduna Amr
Bin Murrah '

is affecting anyone; he irritates such a person the most.

has stated in his
Fatawa: Some trustworthy people have told me that two
persons who often thought about satanic whispers needed to
28
take bath. They went to the river Nile in the early morning.
One of them said to the other. You go and dive in the water; I
will watch you and tell you whether your entire body is washed
or not. He went and started diving into the water. The other
person staying out of water said, A little part of your head is
still unwashed; so-and-so body part is dry. The bathing person
continued to bath from morning until afternoon. At last, he
returned, tired and doubtful whether his Ghusl is valid or not.
He then said to the other person, Now you go and I will watch
you. The other person also dived into water and the standing
person said, Your head is not yet washed.
This continued until evening fell. Eventually, the other person

also returned with doubt in his heart about Ghusl. Both of them
missed the Salahs of the entire day and remained doubtful about

Ghusl. 23 . 1 (we seek refuge of Allah ) This is the
consequence of paying attention to satanic whisper.

Satanic whispers during Wudu

The Satan called Walhaan causes different whispers regarding
Wudu. For example, he causes such whispers in the heart of the
Wudu-performing person as: So-and-so part of the body is left
unwashed; so-and-so part of the body is washed twice instead
of thrice. Likewise, if the Wudu of a person is still valid, this
Satan causes such whispers as: Your Wudu has been invalid;
too much time has passed since you made Wudu, therefore,
your Wudu may have been invalid etc. In such situations, one
should not pay attention to satanic whisper at all.
Referring to the Satan that causes whispers during Wudu, the

Beloved and Blessed Prophet 6 ( 8)( 34 5 has said, There is
a Satan named Walhaan who causes whispers during Wudu.
Thus, you stay safe from satanic whispers about water.
(Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 1, pp. 252, Hadees 421)
Sprinkling water over the part of trousers

After Wudu, if someone suspects that any drop of urine will
come out, one can protect oneself from this satanic whisper by
sprinkling water over the part of the trouser near the private
parts. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah '
)( 3
%
& has narrated that
the Beloved Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 5
4 has said, When you
make Wudu, you should sprinkle water.
(Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 1, pp. 270, Hadees 463)

If he still experiences satanic whisper, he should think to

himself that this is the water he sprinkled. However, if anyone
really suffers passing drops of urine, this is a different matter.

Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: If
anyone has doubt whether or not any part of the body has been
washed during Wudu, he should wash it, provided that it is the
first incidence of his life. If he often has doubt, he should not
pay attention to it. Similarly, if one is doubtful after making
Wudu whether his Wudu still exists or not, there is no need to
make Wudu in this situation. However, it is better to make
Wudu when the doubt is not caused by satanic whisper. If it is
satanic whisper, he should never follow it. If one makes Wudu
in this case assuming that one is being careful, this has nothing
to do with care, but rather it is obedience to the accursed Satan.

Satanic whispers about the invalidation of

Wudu during Salah
Sometimes, Satan causes whisper during Salah such as your
Wudu has become invalid; you have passed a drop of urine or
you have broken wind. In this context, after quoting some
Ahadees, my master Ala Hadrat, reviver of Sunnah, eradicator
of Bidah, scholar of Shariah, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad
&
has stated: The conclusion drawn from
Raza Khan H(9
. 9
these Ahadees is that Satan sometimes spits on the private part
from the front side in order to deceive the Salah-offering
person, making him suspect that he has passed a drop of urine.
Sometimes, Satan blows on the anus or pulls the hair, making
the Salah-offering person suspect that he has broken wind. In
case of feeling these types of satanic whispers, one is commanded
not to discontinue his Salah unless he notices wetness, sound
or smell and unless he is sure that his Wudu has been invalid.
(Fatawa Razawiyyah referenced, vol. 1, pp. 774)
Say to Satan you are liar

Dear Islamic brothers! Wudu remains valid unless one is so
sure that he can swear an oath about its invalidation. If Satan
says: Your Wudu has become invalid. One should reply to
him in the heart: O evil one! You are a liar. One should then
continue his Salah.
32
Sayyiduna Abu Saeed Khudri '

)( 3
Greatest and Noblest Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 5
4 has stated:
When Satan comes to anyone of you and says that your Wudu
has been invalid; one should instantly reply to him in the heart,
You are a liar; unless he hears the sound from his own ears or
smells the smell with his own nose.
(Al-Ihsaan bittarteeb Sahih Ibn Hibbaan, vol. 4, pp. 153, Hadees 2656)
I and my deed is not perfect

My master Ala Hadrat, leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah, Maulana
Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan H(9
. 9 &
has stated: Even
after it, if Satan causes the whisper that you have not perfectly
performed the deed because there is so-and-so defect in it, one
should reply to Satan in these words: Do not show sympathy
for me at all. There is no need to advise me. If my deed is not
perfect, I am myself not perfect. I have performed it to the best
of my ability. My Lord ( ) is Gracious and knows my
helplessness and weakness. Having mercy on me, He will
accept this deed. Who can perform the deed according to the
glory and greatness of Allah !
If the satanic whisper is not prevented even by doing this, one

should say to Satan: If you say that my Wudu and Salah are
not valid, it does not matter. I am prepared to offer Salah
without Wudu or offer three Rakaat of Zuhr Salah; as you have
assumed. O Cursed one! I will not obey you. If one is determined
33
to reject satanic whisper in this way, the satanic whisper will be

eradicated. Satan will fail and face humiliation by Divine help.
(Summarized from: Fatawa Razawiyyah referenced, vol. 1, 786-787)
. 9
Sayyiduna Imam Mujahid 8 )( 3 & has also said, I would
rather offer Salah without Wudu than obey Satan. (It does not
mean that one can really offer Salah without Wudu. In fact,
this is aimed at removing the satanic whisper.) (At-Tareeqa-tul-

Satanic whispers during Salah

person, distracting his attention from Salah. It is narrated in
the book Sahih Muslim that Sayyiduna Usman Bin Abil Aas

)
( 3% & stated, I humbly said, Ya Rasoolallah 6 ( 8) !

of Sajdah during Qiyam, at insteps [i.e. the top part of the foot
between the ankle and toes] during Ruku, at the nasal bone
during Sajdah, at the lap during Jalsah (i.e. sitting between two
Sujood) and during Qadah (Tashahhud etc.), by doing so you will
be able to maintain humility of heart, calmness and concentration
during Salah,

Spit will fall into the mouth of Satan

Dear Islamic brothers! There is another Hadees contained in

spitting three times towards the left side.

Satanic whispers about the number of Rakaat in Salah

As a result of satanic whispers during Salah, the Salah-offering
person becomes doubtful about the number of Rakaat he
offered. It is stated in a blessed Hadees, A person came in the
court of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet 6 ( 8)( 34 5 and
humbly said that he experiences satanic whispers during Salah
and forgets whether he offered 2 Rakaat or 3. The Holy Prophet
6 ( 8 )
( 3 5
4 said, When you experience this type of
situation, lift the forefinger of your right hand and hit your left

thigh with it and say 2 . 1. This will serve as a knife for
Satan. (Al-Mujam-ul-Kabeer lit-Tabarani, vol. 1, pp. 192, Hadees 512)
Therefore, one who habitually experiences satanic whispers

during Salah should perform this deed before he starts Salah.
Ruling about doubt in the number of Rakaat in Salah

*+
,

. /

0 &
has stated on page 718 of the first volume of
the 1250-page book Bahar-e-Shariat published by Maktaba-tul-
Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: If the
Salah-offering person has become doubtful about the number
of offered Rakaat for the first time in his life since reaching
puberty for example, he is doubtful whether he offered three
or four he should invalidate Salah either by performing
Salam or by doing any such act that puts an end to Salah, or
37
alternatively, he should complete his Salah on the basis of his

strong presumption.
In any case, he must repeat this Salah from the beginning. The
mere intention of invalidating Salah is not sufficient. If this has
not occurred for the first time but rather it happened even
before, he should do what his strong presumption is; if there is
no strong presumption, he should accept the assumption of less
number of Rakaat, i.e. if he is doubtful whether the number of
offered Rakaat are three or four, he should consider them to
be three; if he is doubtful whether the number of offered Rakaat
are two or three, he should consider them to be two and so on.
In this case, he should perform Qadah in the third as well as in
the fourth Rakat, as the third Rakat may also be the fourth
one. After the Qadah of the fourth Rakat, he should perform
Sajdah Sahw but if he is following strong presumption, no
Sajdah Sahw is needed.
Humiliation of Satan
My master Ala Hadrat, the leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah, Maulana
&
has stated: If there
. 9
is any doubt whether he has offered three Rakaat or four, he
should consider them to be three, offer one more Rakat and
perform Sajdah Sahw. If he has actually offered five Rakaat in
this case, it is as if these two Sujood of Sahw will serve as one
Rakat, completing a set of two Rakaat. There will be no single
Rakat which is invalid by Shariah. In other words, it is as if
38
these two Sujood of Sahw along with the single Rakat [i.e. the
fifth one] will turn it into a separate set of two Rakaat of Nafl
Salah. And if he has actually offered four Rakaat, these Sujood
will humiliate and disgrace Satan as it was he who had tried to
make Salah invalid by causing doubt.
Saint frustrated Satan

After a saint finished Salah, Satan came to him and said, You
have not offered this Salah properly; therefore, repeat it. The
saint replied, I will never repeat it. I have offered Salah as I could
have done. If there is some defect in it, I will seek forgiveness
from my Lord. Satan said, Do not show laziness in Salah
which is a great act of worship. Its not a minor issue. Repeat
your Salah. The saint said, Whatever was predestined has
happened. I will never ever repeat this Salah. Satan continued
to argue, I am advising you for your own betterment. I am your
well-wisher. You have a high rank in the court of Allah ( )
and Salah is a great act of worship. A pious bondman like you
should not get so stubborn.
Frustrating Satan, the saint said, No matter whatever happens,

I will not repeat this Salah. As for my high rank in the Divine
court, I am pleased with a low rank in His court. Satan said,
Allah ( ) does not accept such a Salah. The saint said, My
Lord is very Gracious. By His grace, He will accept
this defective act of mine. I have done what I could have done.
39
Accepting worship is the act of Allah , not mine. Now you
get lost. I will neither act upon your whispers nor repeat this
Salah. At last, after Satan noticed his failure, he went away,
humiliated and disgraced.
Keep it in mind that the saint flatly refused to repeat Salah in

order to humiliate Satan, preventing his whispers and blocking
his ways. It does not encourage us at all to perform the deed
incorrectly and incompletely, showing laziness and carelessness,
falling into the trap laid by Nafs and then having unreasonable
hopes for Divine grace. It is not something wise to offer Salah
improperly and then comfort oneself by saying, Allah is
Gracious and Forgiver. (Ashia-tul-Lamaat, vol. 1, pp. 92)
Unique way of rejecting satanic whisper

A saint often used to have the satanic whisper that the place
where he offered Salah was impure. He got rid of it by
deliberately offering Salah at the very same place where he had
doubt about impurity. (Ashia-tul-Lamaat, vol. 1, pp. 93)
Do not pay attention to satanic whisper at all

There was a student who completed his education and made
preparations for departing to his country. His respected teacher
asked, What do you do when Satan causes whispers during acts
of worship? The student replied, I get rid of it. The respected
teacher asked, If he causes whisper again, then? The student
replied, I get rid of it again. The respected teacher asked for the
40
third time, If he causes whispers for the third time, then? The
student replied, I get rid of it as well.
Advising his student, the respected teacher said, Do not pay

attention to the whisper caused by Satan during worship. If
you engage yourself in preventing his whispers, he will keep
you occupied with it. You should treat him like the dog of a
shepherd, paying no attention to him and seeking refuge of

Allah from him (by reciting 2
. 1).

Satanic whispers about purity

Satan also causes doubts and uncertainties about purity by means
of his whispers, saying; for example, This is impure; that is
impure. We should not pay attention to his whispers. We have
a lot of easiness from Shariah regarding purity. Some people
fall into the satanic trap of whispers because they lack religious
knowledge. Keep the Shari ruling in mind that nothing can be
41
declared impure merely on the basis of doubt; unless it is

certainly known that a certain thing is impure. There is even
no need to worry that a certain thing might be impure.
No need for investigation about impurity

Madani pearls about the leftovers of animals

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you notice that there is no need to
enquire about impurity? It is possible that the beasts such as the
dogs drink water from the pond. If any dog drinks water from
the pond covering the area of less than 225 square feet, the
leftover water of the pond will become impure. Even then this
leftover water will be considered pure for the one who does not
know whether or not any beast has drunk water from it.
42
It is stated in ruling number 10 on page 342 of the first

volume of the 1250-page book Bahar-e-Shariat published by
Islami: The leftover of the swine, the dog, the lion, the leopard,
the wolf, the elephant, the jackal and other beasts is impure.
Mentioned here are 8 Madani pearls about the leftovers of
animals. Read them and reap the benefit of the worldly life and
the afterlife,

:
1. The leftover of the animals whose meat is Halal to eat, is

pure whether they are quadrupeds [i.e. four-legged animals]
or birds and no matter they are male. These animals include,
for example, the cow, the bull, the buffalo, the goat, the
pigeon, the partridge etc.
2. The leftover of the hen that roams free and pecks at filthy
things is Makruh. If it is caged, then its leftover is pure.
3. Similarly, the leftover of some cows that usually eat filthy

things is Makruh. If such a cow has just eaten something
filthy and puts its impure mouth into the still water covering
the area of less than 225 square feet, the water will become
impure. (If it drinks water by putting its mouth into the
flowing water, its mouth will become pure.) Likewise, if a
male animal such a bull or a male buffalo or a billy-goat
smells the urine of their respective female animals as they
usually do, resulting in their mouth becoming impure,
the leftovers of these animals will be impure in this case
43
provided neither they disappeared from sight nor did so

much time elapse in which it is assumed that their mouth
may have been pure. If any of such animals puts the mouth
into four such amounts of water that covers the area of
less than 225 square feet, the first three amounts of water
will become impure whereas the fourth one will be pure.
4. The leftover of the horse is pure.
5. The leftover of the animals living in homes such as the
cat, the rat, the snake and the lizard is Makruh.
6. If a cat puts its mouth into a pot immediately after eating
a rat, the pot will become impure. If the cat licks the blood
off its mouth before putting it into the pot, the pot will
not become impure in this case.
7. It is Makruh to make Wudu and Ghusl with Makruh water
despite having clean [i.e. non-Makruh] water. However, if
there is no clean water, there is no harm in making Wudu
and Ghusl with Makruh water. Similarly, it is Makruh for
a rich person to eat and drink the leftover that is Makruh.
For a poor or destitute person, there is no harm in eating
and drinking such a leftover thing.
8. The sweat and saliva of those are impure whose leftover is
impure. And the sweat and saliva of those are pure whose
leftover is pure. Similarly, the sweat and saliva of those are
Makruh whose leftover is Makruh.

Strange cure for satanic whispers through mud

My master Ala Hadrat, the leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah,
. 9 &
has stated on page 771
of the first volume of Fatawa Razawiyyah: One of the pious
predecessors )(

9
& has stated: I had satanic whispers about
purity. If my clothes got stained with mud on the way, I would
wash it away (whereas the ruling is that mud is considered
pure unless one is sure about it being impure.) One day, while
going to offer Salat-ul-Fajr, my clothes got stained with mud.
I wanted to wash it but I might have lost Jamaat in case of
washing. Suddenly, I was blessed with guidance by Allah .
I had the thought that I wallow in the mud, staining all of my
clothes with it, and join the Salah in the same condition. I did
so and never experienced satanic whisper since then.
(Al-Hadeeqah-tun-Nadiyyah, vol. 2, pp. 693)
(

( 3 .
Mud is pure unless one is sure about it being impure

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you notice? This is the blessing of
religious knowledge. The pious predecessor was aware that the
mud on the path cannot be declared impure unless it is certainly
known that the mud is impure. Therefore, he got rid of the satanic
whisper wonderfully.
45
It is stated in the booklet Method of Purifying Clothes

published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department
of Dawat-e-Islami: Unless it is known that mud on the path is
impure (whether because of rain or any other reason), it will be
considered pure. So, if the foot or the cloth is stained with it
and Salah is offered without washing it, Salah will be valid but it
is better to wash the mud-stained foot or cloth.
(Bahar-e-Shariat, vol. 1, pp. 394)
Which corner of the shawl to be purified?

If clothing is soiled with impurity but it is not known which part
is impure, so we have great easiness from Shariah in this type
of situation. It is stated in Fatawa Razawiyyah: If any corner of
the shawl is impure but it is not known which of the corners is
impure, so any of the corners may be washed. The shawl will
be declared pure. (Fatawa Razawiyyah referenced, vol. 4, pp. 511)
If a child puts his hand into water, then?

Sometimes, a child puts his hand into water and we become
doubtful whether the water is now pure or impure. There is no
need to have any doubt in this matter. Islamic jurists )(

9
&
have stated: The water in which a child has put his hand or foot
is pure unless it is confirmed that the water has been impure.

Satanic whispers about divorce

Sometimes, Satan causes whisper, saying: Remember! You
spoke the words of divorce to your wife! In this situation, if
you are satisfied that you have not divorced your wife and that
the thought is only a satanic whisper, so you should reply to
Satan: You are a liar. I have not divorced my wife.
Describing a parable in this context, my master Ala Hadrat,

Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan H(9
. 9 &
has stated:
Imam Abu Haazim was one of the Tabieen saints. A person
came to him and said: Satan causes whispers in my heart. The
most troublesome whisper is that he says to me, You have
divorced your wife. The Imam instantly asked, Did you not
divorce your wife in front of me? He replied in confusion, By
Allah ! I never divorced her in front of you. The Imam
explained, As you have sworn an oath in front of me, why do
you not say it to Satan by swearing an oath so that he gives up
irritating you. (In other words, if you are so satisfied that you
47
have sworn an oath, you should also say to Satan by swearing

an oath, O rejected one! Get lost! By Allah ! I have not
divorced my wife. (Fatawa Razawiyyah referenced, vol. 1, pp. 785)

Do not enquire about meal served by anyone

Sometimes, on the occasion of feast, some people have satanic
whisper and doubt whether the meal is provided by Halal money
or Haraam. Here is a blessed saying of the Beloved Prophet
6 ( 8 )
( 3 5
4 in this regard, When anyone of you goes to
the home of your Muslim brother and he serves you with meal,
you should eat it and should not ask about it. If he serves you
any drink, you should drink it and should not ask about it.

Abu Haamid Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Muhammad

has stated in the book Ihya-ul-Uloom:
I say that it is not permissible for the guest to ask the host
whether the meal is from Halal means. If he wants to adopt
piety, he should simply and softly avoid eating the meal. If it is
necessary to attend the gathering, he should eat the meal without
asking about it. Asking whether or not the meal is provided by
lawful means will cause trouble and anxiety and will expose
shortcomings, which is undoubtedly Haraam.
(After giving some more pieces of advice, Imam Ghazali

+

has further stated) There are too many ignorant

ascetics [i.e. those who refrain from worldly pleasures]. They
cause anxiety and trouble by enquiring about the meal, using
very harsh words. In fact, Satan makes them assume that they
are doing something very good by treating such people with
harshness. These types of people actually want to become
famous for eating only Halal food. If they want to follow religion
in this situation, then they should know that the fear of hurting
the feeling of Muslims is greater than the fear of eating the
suspicious thing. He should know that he will not be questioned
49
about the thing he is unaware of; provided that there is no such

indication which makes it obligatory to refrain from eating. So,
keep it in mind! Piety requires that you neither ask nor inquire
about the meal. If it is necessary to eat, you can eat with a
positive thinking. This is piety in this situation.

Two types of Satan

All mentioned above was a description of Satans in the form of
jinn. Like them, Satans in the form of human beings also try to
mislead people, causing doubts and uncertainties in hearts. Here
is a summary of a saying of Ala Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza
Khan H(9
. 9 &
: There are two types of Satans:
50
1. Satans in the form of jinn, i.e. the cursed devil and his
offspring.
2. Satans in the form of human beings, i.e. disbelievers and

those who call people towards disbelief and deviation.
The leading and legendary scholars of Islam have said, The

harm of a human Satan is more severe than a jinn Satan.
(Fatawa Razawiyyah referenced, vol. 1, pp. 780-781)
In Surah An-Naas, Allah has given the command of

seeking refuge from both of these Satans. Allah has said:

;S 8 }#
U U
`v , '
; 8 }#
U x ~ } J wl
Those who whisper into the hearts of people. Among the jinns
and people.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 30, Surah An-Naas, verse 5-6)
Human Satans
It is stated in a Hadees that the Holy Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 5
4
said to Sayyiduna Abu Zar Ghifari '
)( 3
%
& , Seek refuge of
Allah from the harm of human Satans and jinn Satans.
Sayyiduna Abu Zar Ghifari '
)( 3
% & humbly asked, Are there
Satans in the form of human beings as well? He 6 ( 8)( 34 5
replied, Yes. (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 8, pp. 130, Hadees 21602)
51
Thus, all disbelievers, polytheists, deviants, heretics and

blasphemers of the Holy Prophet are Satans in the form of
human beings. We should seek refuge from the harms of Satan
as well as that of these people. But regretfully! Many Muslims
meet them very frankly and frequently and listen to them very
attentively. These nave people even attend their so-called
religious programs and read their writings. As a result of being
unaware of their own religion, these people have doubts,
thinking whether they are following the right path or we? Some
get caught in their trap so badly that they sing their praises and
say, What they say is also right.
Advising Muslims to stay away from such people, my master

Ala Hadrat, the leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah, Maulana Shah
. 9 &
has stated on pages 781
and 782 of the first volume of Fatawa Razawiyyah: O brothers!
What is beneficial and what is harmful for you? Do you know
it or Allah and His Prophet 6 ( 8)( 34 5 know it more
than you? [Of course, they know the best.] So they have
commanded that when Satan comes to mislead you by causing
whispers, you should give him a blunt reply, saying, You are a
liar. You should never go to them (i.e. the disbelievers, the
deviants and the heretics) and should never listen to them
because they will blaspheme your Lord , the Holy Quran
and your Prophet 6 ( 8)( 3 5
4 .
52
. 9
(After giving some more pieces of advice, Ala Hadrat 8)( 3 &

has further stated that Allah has said in verse 112 of Surah
Al-Anaam, part 8):

;RRt8 < b XJ #' L e l& y & #' 3$ \ g
And if your Lord had wanted, they would not have done so;
therefore leave them and their fabrications.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 8, Al-Anaam, verse 112)
Please ponder! Were you commanded to leave them and to reject

what they say or to go and listen to them? In the next (i.e. verse
113) of Surah Al-Anaam, Allah has also said:

< J N , J l & ! I

;RR8 < &b O' L e #' & b O y b Y N#$
And so that the hearts of those who do not believe in the

Hereafter lean towards their fabrications and so that they like
those fabrications, and commit the same sins which they are
committing.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 8, Al-Anaam, verse 113)
53
Look! Lending an ear to what they say was declared to be a

practice of those who do not believe in the Hereafter. As a result,
the cursed things they say may have an effect on the hearts of

the listeners who may also become like them. 23 . 1
(i.e. we seek refuge of Allah from it). People assume in
ignorance that we will not be influenced by them because we
are Muslim at heart. These people should attentively listen to
the following saying of the Holy Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 5
4 ,
Anyone listening to the news of [the appearance of] Dajjaal
must run away from him. By Allah ! Man will go to him
and will think that I am a Muslim and will not be harmed by
him but he [i.e. the man] will be deceived by him [i.e. Dajjaal],
becoming his follower.
(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 157, Hadees 4319)
Are you under the impression that there will be only one Dajjaal,
the most impure one, who will come later on? Never! All those
calling towards deviation are Dajjaal and it is mandatory to
run away from all of them. The same afore-mentioned risk is
involved in meeting and listening to them. The Greatest and
Noblest Prophet 6 ( 8)( 3 5
4 has said, In the last era, there
will be Dajjaal people who will be liars. They will tell you such
things which neither you nor your forefathers heard. So you
stay away from them and keep them away from you lest they
mislead you and throw you into turmoil. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 9,
Hadees 7; Fatawa Razawiyyah referenced, vol. 1, pp. 781-782)

CURE FOR SATANIC WHISPERS
Satan in the form of a frog

Sayyiduna Umar Bin Abdul Azeez '

a person prayed to Allah in these words, O Allah !
Please show to me how Satan causes whispers in the heart of
human beings. The person dreamt that there is a man with a
transparent body. Between the shoulder and the ear of the man,
Satan in the form of a frog was sitting and causing whispers by
inserting his long and thin trunk from the shoulder to the heart
of the man. Whenever the man remembers Allah , Satan
moves away. (Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 59)
The Holy Prophet always remembered Allah

Dear Islamic brothers! This shows that remembering Allah
is an effective cure for satanic whispers because Satan is driven
55
away by the remembrance of Allah . Our Holy Prophet

6 ( 8 )
( 3 5
4 spent every moment and took every breath
remembering Allah . Whenever possible, we should
continue to say Allah, Allah or recite Salat-Alan-Nabi instead
of remaining silent unnecessarily. In this way, we will keep
gaining reward and Satan will also get weaker and weaker,

Do not pay attention to satanic whispers

Dear Islamic brothers! One of the cures for satanic whispers is
that we should not pay attention to it at all. As soon as we
experience satanic whisper, if only we would start imagining
about the beautiful valleys of Makkah Mukarramah, humbly
visiting the Masjid-ul-Haraam and kissing the Hajar-e-Aswad
repeatedly and moving around the blessed Kabah enthusiastically
in imagination! If only we would be lost in the beautiful
memories and scenes of Madinah! If only sometimes we would
imagine about attractive thorns of Madinah and sometimes about
its eye-catching flowers; sometimes about beautiful valleys of
Madinah and sometimes about luminous streets of Madinah;
sometimes about the wonderful mountains of Madinah and
sometimes about the beautiful deserts of Madinah!
If only we would sometimes enjoy imagining about the pure

atmosphere of Madinah and sometimes about the fragrant winds
of Madinah; sometimes about beautiful scenes of the Green
Dome and sometimes about being respectfully present in front
of the Golden Grille! If your enthusiasm encourages you, then
59
imagine about the Greatest and Noblest Prophet 6 ( 8)( 3 5

If only we are blessed with so deep grief, love, enthusiasm and
devotion of the Holy Prophet 6 ( 8 )( 3 5

from every grief of the world as well as from satanic whispers.
If only the following prayer be answered for us!

Prophet 6 ( 8 )

What to do if satanic whispers are not prevented?

If one could not get rid of satanic whispers even by reciting
invocations and doing certain acts, there is still no need to
worry. Mentioned here is a summary of what Hujjat-ul-Islam,
Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali ) +

.
/

stated
in his book Minhaj-ul-Aabideen published by Maktaba-tul-
Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: If you
feel that Satan does not refrain from irritating you and is trying
to dominate you despite the fact that you have sought refuge of
Allah from Satan, it means that Allah wants to test
your efforts, power and patience. That is, Allah is testing
whether you fight against Satan or lose the fight against him.
62
Look! Allah has given domination to disbelievers etc.

over us, whereas He is All-Powerful and can eliminate the
disorder and mischiefs caused by them even without us doing
Jihad but He does not do so. Instead, He commands
bondmen to do Jihad so that He tests as to who is
enthusiastic and eager about Jihad and martyrdom and who
fights against them with sincerity and patience.
After giving some more pieces of advice, Sayyiduna Imam

Muhammad Ghazali ) +

.
/
0 &

has stated: So we have also
been commanded to be fully alert and active in the fight against
Satan. Our scholars of Islam have also said: In order to fight
against Satan and to dominate him, three things are essential:
1. You should be aware of his tricks and tactics and

recognize them. Once you become aware of them, Satan
will not be able to harm you. If the thief comes to know
that the householder is alert to theft, he runs away.
2. Never accept the misleading and sinful invitation of Satan.

There must be no impact of his invitation on your heart.
You should not also plan to fight against him because Satan
is like a barking dog. If you tease him, he will shout even more
loudly. If you ignore his whispers, he will become silent.
3. Remember the Almighty in abundance.

(Minhaj-ul-Aabideen (Arabic), pp. 46)

Divine remembrance inflicts pain to Satan

It is narrated that Divine remembrance is as much painful to
Satan as is a deadly disease to human in which flesh comes off
the body. (Minhaj-ul-Aabideen (Arabic), pp. 46)
Imtihan kay kahan qaabil hoon mayn piyaray Allah

Bay-sabab bakhsh day Maula Tayra kya jata hay
Translation: O Allah ! I am not able enough to be tested. Forgive

me without any reason. Forgiving us is not difficult for You at all.

Satanic whisper: Many times, satanic whispers are not prevented

even by remembering Allah . For example, Salah is the
greatest form of Divine remembrance but Satan causes a lot of
whispers during Salah. He even makes us recall the forgotten
things during Salah.
Cure for satanic whisper: No doubt, Divine remembrance drives

Satan away. You must have heard that prayers are answered by
Allah . There is obviously no doubt about it. It is stated in
verse number 60 of Surah Al-Mu`min:
64

Pray to Me, I will accept. ( - ~
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 24, Al-Mumin, verse 60)
Still, the effects of the prayer being answered are not observed
many times. In fact, there are certain conditions for driving
Satan away by means of Divine remembrance and for the
answering of the prayers. We can take the example of
medicines. If harmful things are not avoided, medicines fail to
produce the required effect. If a patient suffering from diabetes
continues to eat sweets, what effect will medicine produce? In
the same way, in order to get rid of satanic whispers and to
drive him away, avoidance from sins is essential. If piety is not
adopted, then the medicine in the form of Zikr may not cure
the disease of satanic whispers.

has stated: Satan is like a hungry dog that comes

to you. If you have no bread and no meat, he will go away easily
after you tell him off. If you have meat and he is hungry, so he
falls on the meat and is not driven away easily. In a similar
way, if there is nothing for Satan in the heart, he moves away
from that heart when Divine remembrance is made. On the
other hand, if the heart is under the domination of desires, so
the inner condition of the heart will be captured by Satan who
will prevent such a person from making Divine remembrance
with all his heart. As far as the heart of the pious is concerned,
65
it is not affected by desires of Nafs and evil attributes. Satan

does not come to them due to desires but he comes when their
heart is empty of Divine remembrance due to heedlessness.
When they make Divine remembrance, Satan goes away.
(Summarized from: Ihya-ul-Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 45)
In short, one who commits sins day and night is like a friend of
Satan. And how is it possible that Satan run away from his
friends easily! In verse 4 of Surah Al-Hajj, Allah said in
part 17 of the Holy Quran:
p p p
;8 b ~ ! J J J !Z#& yN V ,' !Z ! s I

(The devil) for whom it is decreed that whoever befriends him, he

has stated: The real effectiveness of Divine Zikr

can settle in the heart when it is purified from evil attributes
and is adorned with piety. Otherwise, Zikr will prove to be a
temporary thing and can neither influence the heart nor rule it.
It cannot also get rid of satanic power.

has further stated: If you want to
stay safe from Satan, adopt piety and abstinence and then try

medicine in the form of Divine Zikr. In this way, Satan will run
away from you. (Ihya-ul-Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 45, 47)
Nafs-o-shaytan ho gaye ghalib

In kay chungal say Tu chhura Ya Rab
Ker kay taubah mayn phir gunahaun mayn

Ho hi jata hoon mubtala Ya Rab
Neem-jan ker diya gunahaun nay
Marz-e-isyan say day shifa Ya Rab
Translation: Nafs and Satan have dominated me. O Almighty! Free

me from their captivity. I indulge in sins even after repenting of
them. Sins have brought me closer to doom. O Almighty! Cure me of
the disease of sins.

Thoughts of disbelief in mind

Question: What is the ruling for the person who says that
thoughts of disbelief come into his mind when he is in trouble?

has stated: If the
thought of disbelief comes into the heart of a person and he
considers it bad to express it in words, so it is not disbelief but
rather it is a specific sign of faith. Would he consider it bad, if there
were no faith in his heart! (Bahar-e-Shariat, vol. 2, part 9, pp. 456)
Question: If somebody mentions to another person, I
experience such-and-such blasphemous satanic whispers. I am
fed-up with them. Please tell me any cure. Will he be charged
with disbelief in this case?
Answer: No, he will not be charged with disbelief in this case.
