The question

Is a person considered an infidel if they feign a situation to differentiate between intrusive thoughts (waswas) and intentional acts, and then hear an inner voice reviling the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace? And is their emphasizing the letter "seen" (س) in the word (rasulih - رسوله) to make it sound like the letter "sad" (ص), during the Tashahhud, considered mockery of the Prophet's name?

The answer

You have reached a great extent of obsessive thoughts (waswas), and we advise you to turn away from all these whispers and not to pay any attention to them. Whenever Satan deludes you into uttering a curse, seek refuge in Allah from his evil, and do not give in to these thoughts. Strive against them as much as you can.

Your dislike and aversion to these obsessive thoughts are a sign of the sincerity of your faith and the soundness of your conviction, so they will not harm you, Allah willing.

What occurred from you is not mockery; rather, it is part of the obsessive thoughts that you are suffering from.

We advise you to consult trustworthy doctors and the consultation section of this website.
