What you are experiencing is an illusion caused by obsessive whisperings (waswasah), and its cure is to disregard it. You may present the matter to a specialized doctor or a trusted شيخ (religious scholar). It is recommended to supplicate, remember Allah, seek forgiveness, maintain the morning and evening remembrances (adhkar), and associate with righteous people to repel this ailment.
