What happens by way of insulting God, His religion, and His Book is from the whispers of Satan, and a person has no choice in it. Allah has pardoned the whispers of the soul as long as they are not acted upon or spoken. The servant's dislike of these whispers is a sign of sound faith. It is recommended to frequently supplicate and remember Allah, and not to perform ghusl or believe in disbelief and apostasy because of these whispers.
