Does expelling gas while uttering the name of God, or mistakenly attributing the characteristic of injustice to Allah, the Exalted, constitute an act of disbelief?

You are suffering from (whispers/obsessive thoughts), so cast away all these waswas and do not pay attention to them. None of what you mentioned is considered disbelief (kufr). "Al-Jabbar" (The Compeller/The Restorer) is one of the beautiful names of Allah, and its meaning is the One who rectifies the affairs of His creation. It is permissible to describe a created being as jabbar, as in the verse: "And they sought victory, and every obstinate tyrant was disappointed" (Quran 14:15). These are waswas that must be ignored.
