Question:
When i do dhikr i get a lot of dirty and bad waswasa which demotivate me and hurt me a lot. Shaytan is putting waswasa from all direction and reducing my energy.
What shall i do mashaykh?
Answer:
Wa alaykum salam,
Mawlana teaches us about this common situation of the mureed when he is doing well in the path. Yes of course shaytan wants you to give it up.
For each waswasa say istighfar and ta’awudh and Basmalah.
After seven times this happens then you can just ignore the waswasa and continue your Zikr knowing with certainty that it is not from your own self.
Was salam
