Are actions that go beyond internal obsessions, such as laughing upon seeing sheikhs, or remembering committed individuals, or feeling disdain for religion, or finding the remembrance of Allah and the recitation of the Quran repulsive, or struggling to abandon a sin while deeming it permissible, considered obsessive-compulsive disorder? And should they be ignored despite the fear of dying in such a state?
First, the questioner's judgment upon himself that he commits acts nullifying Islam daily is not a light matter, for mocking religion and deeming sins permissible are among the causes of disbelief. It seems the questioner suffers from waswasah (whispers/obsessive thoughts), and he must dismiss these thoughts and not give Satan an opening; because a servant's hatred of these satanic thoughts and waswasah is a sign of sound belief and strong faith, as stated in the noble hadith: "That is pure faith." Therefore, the questioner must turn away from waswasah and ignore these intrusive thoughts, and occupy himself with the remembrance of Allah, reciting the Quran, and whatever benefits him in his religion and worldly life.
