Will Allah Almighty hold me accountable for the blasphemous thoughts about Him, polytheistic utterances, and intrusive thoughts during prayer that come to my mind, even though I seek forgiveness and repent every time this happens? And does Satan whisper words that a person hears in their head as if they themselves had uttered them? And are those polytheistic utterances that come to my mind considered polytheism (shirk) against Allah Almighty?

All praise is due to Allah, who has healed you and guided you to repentance. Know that what is on your mind are whisperings from Satan. Allah has overlooked the whisperings of the soul as long as they are not acted upon or spoken. Therefore, you must seek refuge with Allah from Satan and ignore these whisperings.
