What is the cure for the obsessive whispers of shirk?

To be rid of whispers (waswas), one must completely ignore them and not be drawn into them by Satan. One should also occupy oneself with learning and good deeds, and increase acts of obedience, remembrance (dhikr), and seeking forgiveness. It is also recommended to seek refuge from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and to frequently recite the supplication: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from associating partners with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know."
