What is the ruling on the whispers (waswasah) regarding purity, ablution (wudu'), and ritual bathing (ghusl) that lead to doubt about the purity of furniture and clothes, difficulty in maintaining ablution, and a decline in acts of worship and memorization of the Quran?

We ask Allah for healing and well-being. Satan has succeeded in disturbing your life with whispers and diverting you from acts of worship. You must repel these whispers and turn away from them. Do not rule anything as impure except with certain conviction, and treat anything you doubt its purity as if it were pure. Wash your ablution organs once, twice, or thrice, and do not exceed that, and turn away from Satan's whispers that the water did not run over the limb or that you did not wash properly. Healing from this malady comes through striving and repelling whispers.
