Wow..this is so deep ..that what exactly we face every day .May Allah swt give us istiqamah to be on the righteous path ameen.. The Whispering of the Devil to the One Who Remembers Allaah. Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah – may Allaah have mercy on him – said, “Waswaas is something that happens to everyone who turns to Allaah in Dhikr. It will inevitably happen to him. So he should be steadfast and remain patient, and persist in his Dhikr and prayer and not give up, for, by persisting in it he will foil the plot of the Shaytaan and, ‘ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaytaan.’ [Surah an-Nisa 4:76] “Every time a person wants to turn his heart to Allaah, whispers of other matters come to him. The Shaytaan is like a bandit; every time a person wants to travel towards Allaah, he wants to intercept him. “Hence, it was said to one of the salaf, ‘The Jews and the Christians say, we don’t experience waswaas. He replied, ‘They are right! What would Shaytaan do with a ruined house?’” — [Source: Majmoo` al-Fataawa (22/608)]
