Ignore Shaytan's Waswaas (whisper from the Shaytaan)

Question: I am a young practicing Muslim. I am often beset with doubts. When i perform ablution, I doubt that I have performed it well, so I perform it a second time. During prayer, I feel that I may have passed wind, so I stop my prayer to perform ablution another time.

Answer:
Doubts - that beset the mind concerning worship or matters of belief, even the essence of Allaah - are from Shaytaan. When the Prophet's Companions complained to him about doubts that sometimes entered their hearts, doubts they thought that are too wicked to speak about, the Prophet (salallaahu alayhi wasallam) told them that, that was because of their faith, meaning its purity.

That is because Shaytaan whispers doubts about faith only in those hearts that are free from any doubt, hoping that those hearts will obey him. Meanwhile, Shaytaan does not need to whisper into a heart that is already beset with doubts because he has already successfully completed his work on that heart.

I advise you to seek refuge in Allaah Almighty from Shaytaan; ignore his whispers, regardless whether they come to you during prayer, during ablution, or at any other time. Although these doubts indicate a pure faith, if they continue, they may also indicate weak willpower.

Try your utmost to ignore his whisperings. When you bring an item home from the store, do you doubt that it is in your hands? The answer is obviously no. This is because the Shaytaan does not whisper to man in these kinds of affairs; he only whispers to him about his worship so that he can ruin it for him. Also, when you have completed an act of worship, don't have doubts about whether it was performed correctly, unless you are sure that there was some defect.

Let's Control Anger (which is from Shaytaan)

Some of the Ahaadiths about anger...

1)Seeking Refuge With Allah from Shaytaan

Sulaiman bin Surd said "While I was sitting in the company of the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), two men abused each other and the face of one of them became red with anger, and his jugular veins swelled (i.e. he became furious). On that the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "I know a word, the saying of which will cause him to relax, if he does say it. If he said, “A’oodhu billaahi min al-shaytaan (I seek refuge with Allaah from the Shaytaan),”, this [anger] would go away"

Sahih Al Bukhari, The Book of the Beginning of Creation,
Hadith no.:3060

2)Resisting anger is one of the signs of righteousness (taqwaa).

The righteous (al-muttaqoon) are those praised by Allaah in the Qur'aan and by His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Paradise as wide as heaven and earth has been prepared for them.

"And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious".(Aali Imran 3:133)

"Those who spend [in Allâh's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn (the good doers)". (Aali Imran 3:134)

"And those who avoid the greater sins[], and Al-Fawâhish (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and when they are angry, they forgive[]" (Ash-Shura 42:37)

Beautiful Recitation of Surah-Yaaseen

يس ﴿١﴾ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ ﴿٢﴾ إِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿٣﴾ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٤﴾ تَنْزِيلَ الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴿٥﴾ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَا أُنْذِرَ آبَاؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَافِلُونَ ﴿٦﴾ لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٧﴾ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ أَغْلَالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الْأَذْقَانِ فَهُمْ مُقْمَحُونَ ﴿٨﴾ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٩﴾ وَسَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنْذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿١٠﴾ إِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الذِّكْرَ وَخَشِيَ الرَّحْمَـٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَأَجْرٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿١١﴾ إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ ﴿١٢﴾

Meaning of a Verse in Quran...

O assembly of jinns and men! If you have power to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allâh)! (Ar-Rahman 55:33)

This challenge from Allaah to all will be on the day of resurrection when all creatures, Jinn and humans, will be assembled and the heavens split apart. Angels will descend from all of heavens and encircle the resurrected. Allah will challenge the people assembled to escape if they can. They will not be able to escape as they will not have the ability or the power to do so with the angels besieging and encircling them from all sides.

In explanation of this Verse, Ibn Kathir (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "Meaning that you cannot escape Allaah’s power and predestination, which are everywhere around you. You cannot escape Allah’s power or break away from His authority or ruling on you. On the day of resurrection, wherever you go, you will be surrounded on all sides by seven rows of angels. No one can pass beyond the zones "except with authority" i.e. an order from Allah [or except with the commandment from Allah]

Cross reference,

Surah Al Qiyamah(75):
10.On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?" ?
11.No! There is no refuge
12.Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day.
