What is the reality of the thoughts that plague the questioner and make him feel atheistic and infidel, revolving around man's predetermination, and how does he answer the questions of his mind regarding man's free will, its creation by God, and the impact of the material of creation and environmental conditions on man's choice between disbelief and faith, and are these thoughts considered hypocrisy?

Doubts and whispers are among the stratagems of Satan. Their cure lies in completely ignoring them and not inquiring about them. The Muslim should believe that they are a satanic thought and fight against them, thereby earning the reward of a mujahid. The believer is tested with whispers of disbelief, and hating them and repelling them from the heart is a clear sign of faith. One must not let the heart be like a sponge that absorbs doubts, but rather like a solid glass bottle, through which doubts pass over its surface without settling within it.
