How can one get rid of intrusive thoughts about the rulings of Sharia, the love of the Prophet (peace be upon him), doubt in religion, and the belittling of women's status in Islam, along with the desire to submit to Allah's rulings, and to know whether these intrusive thoughts are from the self or from Satan?
Whispers (waswas) do not harm the soundness of faith if there is an aversion and dislike for them, and their possessor is rewarded for struggling against them. Among the things that help in getting rid of them are: supplication (du'a), abundant remembrance of Allah (dhikr), and seeking sacred knowledge to learn about the secrets and wisdoms of the Sharia.
