What should a female inquirer do who suffers from blasphemous thoughts and severe obsessive whispers that constrict her chest, affect her studies and life, and make her feel distressed and as if she is outside of her religion?

These whisperings do not harm and will not be accounted for; rather, disliking them is a sign of sincere faith. They are from the plots of Satan, so one must not respond to them, but instead turn away from them and strive against them until Satan despairs. One should also increase in supplication to get rid of them. Dying in this state does not harm, because striving is rewarded.
