Are the recurrent negative thoughts and disturbing images that distract the mind and make comprehension and assimilation difficult, which occur despite maintaining regular prayers and supererogatory acts, considered obsessive-compulsive disorder or from Satan? Is completely ignoring these thoughts harmful, and what is the best method for studying in this situation?

Treating negative thoughts involves ignoring them and not paying attention to them, strengthening self-confidence, having a good opinion of Allah, and replacing them with positive thoughts. As for studying, it is recommended to organize time, focus one's mind, provide a quiet atmosphere, while seeking Allah's help and supplicating to Him; for understanding is a gift from Him, the Most High.
