Will Almighty Allah hold a person accountable for the doubts they encounter, and what should they do about them, especially those related to mockery of the remembrance of Allah or the Quran? And will one be held accountable for not objecting in a gathering if they encounter such doubts while not being a scholar?
The questioner is advised to avoid obsessive thoughts regarding mockery and not to yield to Satan in this matter, especially if they are already prone to obsessions. They should strive to deepen their understanding of the religion and occupy their time with beneficial pursuits, abandoning obsessive thoughts about faith and doubts about leaving it. The fundamental principle is that a servant's Islam remains until a definitive proof emerges that shifts them from this foundation. Scholars have mentioned that if speech can be interpreted as apostasy or otherwise, the speaker is not to be declared an unbeliever on that basis, and that averting legal penalties from Muslims is paramount.
