Satanic Whispers While Offering Namaz And Ablution?
جب میں وضو کرتی ہوں تو وضو کے دوران تقریباً دس سے پندرہ منٹ صرف کر دیتی ہوں اور بار بار ہاتھ دھوتی رہتی ہوں۔ میرے ذہن میں یہ حدیث آتی رہتی ہے کہ اگر کوئی ایک بال بھی خشک رہ جائے تو وضو نہیں ہوتا، اسی خیال کی وجہ سے میں وضو بار بار دہراتی رہتی ہوں۔
اسی طرح جب میں نماز پڑھتی ہوں تو تکبیرِ تحریمہ تقریباً بیس سے پچیس مرتبہ دہراتی ہوں۔ میرے ذہن میں مختلف وسوسے آتی رہتی ہیں۔ میں ہر لفظ کو بار بار احتیاط سے دہراتی ہوں کہ کہیں کوئی زیر یا زبر کی غلطی نہ ہو جائے۔
اس وجہ سے میرا ذہن بہت زیادہ پریشان رہتا ہے اور میں ذہنی دباؤ کا شکار ہوں۔ براہِ کرم اس بارے میں میری رہنمائی فرمائیں۔ -

I suffer from OCD. Whenever I say Allahu Akbar for the opening Takbir in prayer, I become extremely conscious about every single word and letter. I keep checking whether I have pronounced it correctly and whether each sound has come out perfectly. Because of this, I repeat it again and again, sometimes 20 to 30 times, until I feel satisfied.
Even then, I often doubt myself and start over, worrying that maybe I made a small mistake in the pronunciation. This constant repetition makes my prayer very difficult and time-consuming. I feel mentally exhausted, but I cannot stop myself, because my mind keeps telling me that if I don’t say it perfectly, it will not be accepted. -

Hey waressha! I’m not a particularly knowledgeable person when it comes to religion but I’ve had similar issues in the past. What really helped me was deciding that this isn’t normal and that I must treat it like a disease ( or like u stated; satanic whisperings ) that must be ignored in order to cure myself. The thought process that helped me was:
-What is the purpose of prayer ?- to feel
close to and glorify Allah
-Was I achieving that by being overly sensitive about every movement?- no
-Then can this be right approach to having the “ acceptable to Allah “ prayer I want- no
-Is fear in Allah the only thing the Quran teaches- no, it teaches that Allah is Most Forgiving and Most Gracious so by choosing to be overly fearful I am ignoring the fact that even if I do make small mistakes, Allah Talla is more then capable of forgiving me ( if I am sincere in my intentions).
It is very liberating to pray to Allah to forgive you if u made the wrong call in ignoring a possible error as u believed it to be a false doubt rather than actual doubt. From what I understand having faith in Allah’s forgiveness is part of deen.
An exercise I started doing with myself was to not entertain the thought of repeating prayer as an option so that I can confidently to Sajad e sahv every time I had a doubt. I convinced myself it was wrong to repeat prayer when Sajad was possible.

Thank you, sister, for giving me this advice. Everyone tells me to ignore my OCD, especially during prayer. But honestly, that is the hardest part for me. I really don’t understand how to just ignore it — it feels almost impossible. Could you please share with me how you yourself managed to do this, step by step? I am really struggling.

To be honest, I’m not sure how helpful I’m being by stating my own experience but I thought it couldn’t hurt atleast. On a separate note
, respectfully, I feel responsible to exert as medical professional that OCD ( as in actual OCD, not the OCD people casually use in their language to describe particularly sensitive behaviours that are on the extremes of normal behaviour but still somewhat controllable ) is a pretty bad condition, like a man kept hostage by his own thoughts. Someone who believes that bad things will happen if they don’t act on unreasonable thoughts. If you truly feel that way then perhaps professional help can be employed as effective treatments exist ( such as ERP). Goodluck sister!

Please try to seek medical help. If you’re unable to control your thoughts despite trying everything within you power, then there is no harm in consulting a medical professional.
From a religious perspective, doubts are to be ignored and not pursued further. Consider a ritual or utterance done unless you witness it otherwise yourself. If there’s just a doubt, don’t bother about it.

نماز پڑھتے وقت میری کوشش ہوتی ہے کہ ہر آیت اور ہر لفظ بالکل پرفیکٹ پڑھوں، اسی وجہ سے میں بار بار دہراتی رہتی ہوں۔ مثلاً “اللہ اکبر” کو 20–30 مرتبہ پڑھ لیتی ہوں تاکہ میرے ہاتھ بالکل درست پوزیشن میں ہوں۔ اسی طرح وضو کرتے وقت بھی میں اکثر تین مرتبہ سے زیادہ اعضاء دھوتی رہتی ہوں، بعض اوقات دس پندرہ مرتبہ تک بھی دھو لیتی ہوں تاکہ مجھے یقین ہو جائے کہ وضو صحیح ہوا ہے۔ دراصل میں نے ایک حدیث سنی تھی کہ اگر ایک بال بھی خوشک رہ گیا تو وضو نہیں ہوتا، اسی بات کو ذہن میں رکھ کر میں کئی کئی مرتبہ وضو کرتی رہتی ہوں۔ برائے مہربانی رہنمائی کریں کہ میں یہ عادت کیسے چھوڑ سکوں اور تین مرتبہ سے زیادہ نہ دھوؤں، اور اس وسوسے پر قابو پا سکوں؟
پلیز اپ مجھے کوئی ٹپس دیجیے تاکہ اس وسوسے کو میں کس طرح سے نظر انداز کروں اور تین مرتبہ سے زیادہ اعضاء نہ دونے پڑے ؟

Here are some concise OCD tips to help manage waswasa:
OCD Management Tips
1. Recognize and challenge: Identify intrusive thoughts and challenge their validity.
2. Set boundaries: Establish limits for rituals to prevent excessive repetition (2 times max)
3. 3-second rule: Pause for 3 seconds before acting on compulsions. (Do effort to stop instead of repeating). Train your brains.
4. Self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding. (Repeat 100 times a day: You are awesome and God is kind to you)
5. Exposure therapy: Gradually expose yourself to situations that trigger anxiety.
6. Mindfulness: Practice being present and focused to reduce rumination.
Remember, OCD management requires patience, persistence, and often professional guidance.

Try to translate this in Urdu. As you read this, pay close attention to God’s love, mercy and kindness.
O Allah, protect me from the whispers of the devils and their presence. Guide me to overcome compulsive thoughts and behaviors. You are the Most Kind, Forgiving, and Merciful. Since You value intentions over perfection, grant me warmth and comfort in my heart and mind when I err. You are the Most High, and Your love for Your servants is boundless.

I can sense your concern and frustration. Reciting “Allahu Akbar” 30 times instead of the customary 2 times may stem from a desire to perfect your worship, but it’s essential to remember that:
1. God is not a linguistic professor: He doesn’t grade our pronunciation or grammar. What matters most is the sincerity and intention behind our words.
2. Perfection lies in intention, not repetition: Focus on the meaning and spirit of your recitation, rather than the quantity.
3. Connection with God is key: Prioritize cultivating a deeper connection with Allah through:
– Expressing gratitude for life’s blessings
– Seeking guidance and wisdom
– Asking for help in living a life pleasing to Him
Remember, Allah is Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful) and Al-Wadud (The Most Loving).
He values your sincerity, humility, and devotion over numerical repetitions.
To manage your OCD tendencies, consider:
1. Setting realistic goals: Aim for a manageable number of recitations, and gradually adjust as needed.
2. Focusing on meaning: Reflect on the significance of “Allahu Akbar” and how it relates to your life.
3. Seeking support: Share your concerns with a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional.
May Allah guide you, grant you peace, and help you find balance in your worship.

Thank you Brother💯❤️
Can you suggest me some tips and tricks to avoid over washing my body parts for the Ablution?
Main 10 to 15x wash krti hoon
-
My dear sister, I’m happy to help.
Excessive washing during ablution can be a challenge, especially when it becomes an obsessive habit. Here are some tips to help you overcome this:
1. Mindfulness: Be aware of your thoughts and actions during ablution. Recognize when you’re repeating unnecessary washes.
2. Intentional washing: Focus on washing each body part with intention and purpose, rather than mindlessly repeating the action.
3. Counting: Instead of washing excessively, try counting the washes (e.g., “1, 2, 3” for each body part).
4. Pause and reflect: When you catch yourself repeating unnecessary washes, pause and reflect on your actions. Remind yourself that you’re accountable for your time and resources.
5. Water conservation: Remember that wasting water is not only harmful to the environment but also considered a sin in Islam.
6. Prioritize prayer: Focus on completing your ablution efficiently, so you can devote more time to prayer and connecting with Allah.
7. Self-compassion: Be gentle with yourself when you slip up. Acknowledge the mistake and move forward.
8. Gradual change: Don’t try to change overnight. Gradually work on reducing excessive washing over time.
Regarding your brain’s tendency to play tricks on you, remember that:
– Shaytan (Satan) can whisper doubts and encourage excessive behavior.
– Your brain’s habits can be retrained with practice and patience.
By training your mind and being more intentional during ablution, you’ll become more mindful, conserve resources, and prioritize your connection with Allah.
May Allah guide you and help you overcome this challenge.

After you have a good handle on your OCD, remember me in your prayers “but” only after you follow advice above and you have mastered control of your brains.
Remember, all of us are in different tests. Yours is very manageable but it requires you to rewire your brains. Only you can do it! And the best method is to keep reminding yourself – you are amazing and God loves all his creations, specially you!
100% doable with consistent practice.
Good luck! Once you are out of this, set a goal to help others who face similar challenge.

Dear brother, thank you so much for your kind advice. May Allah reward you. I will surely remember you in my duas.❤🙏
I want to share my problem: when I say Takbeer-e-Tahreema at the start of prayer, I keep repeating it 15–20 times. The same happens with wudhu, I repeat it again and again. Also, during prayer, especially in Surah Al-Fatiha, I keep repeating because I try to read every verse and every word very carefully, making sure the pronunciation is correct and that I don’t make any mistake in the signs (zair, zabar). Because of this fear, I end up repeating again and again.
Can you please explain to me in the simplest way how I can overcome this OCD and stop repeating , Takbeer-e-Tahreema, and Surah Al-Fatiha?
please guide me with a very simple method. I want to stop washing my body parts more than three times in wudhu. I heard a hadith that if even one hair remains dry, the wudhu is not valid. Because of this, I keep repeating wudhu again and again. Can you please explain to me in the simplest way how I can do proper wudhu without repeating?
Thank you, brother🙏 -
4 Tips for you:
1. Reframe your mindset: God is not concerned with linguistic perfection. Repeat this phrase 100 times a day to internalize it: “God is not an Arabic language professor, He’s not judging my pronunciation.”
2. Focus on the meaning: When reciting verses, prioritize understanding the message and essence behind the words.
3. Pause and reflect: Before repeating, take a 5-second pause. Remind yourself that God is Kind, Merciful, and not concerned with linguistic accuracy. STOP repeating!
4. Connect with God, not just the language: Remember, the ultimate goal is to connect with God, not to perfect your Arabic pronunciation. Focus on the essence of your prayers, and feel free to communicate with God in your native language, like Urdu, during and after prayer.

Dear Brother,I am deeply thankful to you for your valuable guidance regarding OCD. May Allah bless you abundantly for your kind advice and concern. Insha’Allah, I will sincerely try to follow the methods you suggested. I will always remember you in my prayers. Kindly remember me in your prayers as well, that Allah may grant me complete relief from this condition. JazakAllahu Khair.

Assalamoalaikum brother
I am very worried. Nothing seems to work for me. Ignoring these thoughts is becoming extremely difficult for me. When I make wudu, I keep washing my hands 20–30 times. And when I stand for prayer, I keep repeating “Allahu Akbar” many times, even 20–30 times. I am very stressed, and it is very hard for me to ignore this. Please give me an easy tip on how I can ignore these thoughts.

@Sohail ?????

Salam – Here is what you need to try.
Step 1) Recite/wash “once”. Do a count (1, 2, 3). STOP. Pause for 10 seconds. Ask yourself “have I already done this”? If answer is YES. And it should be YES. Move to the next step.
Repeat this simple idea at each step.

Bohut mushkil hai , bohut bohut pareshan hoon OCD ki wajah se
Bas wash karti rehti hoon , mujhe bilkul samjh nahi aaraha kya karun
Takbeer e Tehrema repeat krti rehti hoon, wuzu bhi

1) One thing that might help is to find a prayer buddy – someone you trust, like your mom, sister, or a friend.
2) You can pray together, and they can help guide you through the steps of wudu and namaz. Sometimes, having someone by your side can make it easier to stay focused and avoid repeating steps.
3) Try reciting the namaz aloud, and follow your partner’s lead. This might help you stay on track and avoid getting stuck on repetitive thoughts.
Remember, you’re not alone in this struggle. Many people face similar challenges with OCD, and there is support available. If you need additional help or guidance, consider reaching out to a mental health professional or a trusted Islamic scholar.
You got this, and you’re strong! Keep pushing forward, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support when you need it.
