The answer

What you find within yourself of waswas (whispers/obsessive thoughts), its cure is to completely disregard them. Increase your participation in gatherings or listening to the words of scholars in faith-building and admonitory lessons that strengthen imaan (faith). Avoid being alone with yourself, and associate with righteous, upright women who follow the (Prophetic tradition) and possess sound aqeedah (creed), as they will help you adhere to your religion.
