DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Arba'a, 10th day of Shaw'waal. (Wednesday, 11th of May, 2022). HOW TO HANDLE THE WASWAS (Evil Whisperings) ESPECIALLY IN OUR SALAAT. BismilLah. 

Sometimes during salaat or after salaat, you start having some whispering that your salaat is incomplete or not correct or doubt if ALLAH accepted. There are many prophetic ways to deal with such evil whisperings. 

1. Whenever any doubt/waswas arises, assure yourself that your Salaah, Wudhu, Ghusl and everything else are correct and valid regardless of what comes to mind. As a remedy, assure yourself that every action of mine is valid irrespective of the evil whisperings. This may difficult for the first few times, it will become much easier after effort and hard work. You just need to keep studying especially the right way to offer our salaat. Find an authentic book about salaat and keep revising and learning. 

2. Remind yourself constantly that these thoughts are from Shaytaaan, how can I listen to them and give them credence? How can they be correct knowing its from Sheitan?

3. Implore ALLAH (SubhanahuWaTa’ala) in Du’a to alleviate you from your predicament. Du’a is the most powerful weapon of the believer. 

4. All that is needed is resolute courage and firm determination to motivate oneself from such a problem. Never give up hope. Always tell yourself that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

5. If it occurs during salaat then pause and Recite Ta’awwuz (AuuzuBillah Minashaitaanir Rajeem, silently but to your own hearing) and dry spit to your left 3 times then continue. Thats the teaching of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. 

6. Recite this dua regularly LAAHAWLA WALAA KUWATA ILLAA BILLAH. "There is no power to neither do any good nor prevent any evil except by ALLAH”

7. Recite Surah Falaq, Surah Naas and Surah Ikhlaas thrice as much as possible after each salaah.

We ask ALLAH to protect us from any satanic influences in our ibaadaat. Aameen.
