How can one get rid of the intrusive thoughts about the death of relatives that cause intense crying?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The thoughts that afflict the soul upon the death of a close relative are from the machinations of Satan to grieve the heart and disrupt life. Therefore, one should not pay attention to them. It is recommended to frequently seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and to be diligent in performing acts of obedience, staying away from sins, and frequently engaging in the remembrance of Allah Almighty, especially in the morning and evening, so that Allah may protect one from Satan and his evil.
