Is a person deemed an unbeliever if words of disbelief come to their mind as a whisper, such as: "If you do not go here, then Allah is poor," and they go out of fear of these words, knowing that Allah is rich whether they go or not?

A Muslim does not become an infidel by what occurs to him of whispers and thoughts, for Allah has forgiven the whispers of the soul as long as they are not acted upon or spoken. A Muslim must strive against these whispers and turn away from them, for his dislike and aversion to them are a sign of the sincerity of his faith and the soundness of his monotheism.
