Question:
Assalamualikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakathuhu,
May Allah Almighty give my murshid Mawlana sheikh nazim al haqqani long life Ameen
Is it possible if i could leave my awrad for a few weeks as I have suffered Major depression from waswaas since the past 6 months and have had so much fear in my heart that i could not even control myself and say bad things in my heart. I really love reading my awrad and prayers even though am always fearing i might sin in the heart. at times i don’t even know what am saying that when i have fire in my heart i realize i may have committed a major sin which leads be to being more depressed that i cry and cry bowing down to my lord to forgive me. Alhamdulilah i feel better than before but still my head feels heavy.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.
Don’t despair and don’t give up. These waswasa are only to stop you from continuing on the way.
Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani recommends:
For wasawis (whispers of shaytan), recite Surat an-Nas 3x for protection from waswasa and blow on yourself.
Also, for an explanation of what’s happening, see the Post: “Prayer Request: How to control shaytan’s whispers“.
