One is not held accountable for inner thoughts unless spoken or acted upon. This is by God's mercy towards His servant. We ask God to cure you of obsessive thoughts, and we advise you to persist in supplication and humility, and to distract yourself from these obsessive thoughts. We also recommend that you consult a trustworthy psychiatrist.
