Are thoughts that come to mind about religion, prophets, or companions considered whispers (waswas) that should be ignored, especially if accompanied by facial expressions or bodily movements? And are unintentional movements that might seem like mockery, such as being distracted during a religious discourse, or laughing at a speaker's style when discussing religious matters, or frowning when asked for a religious service, considered mockery? And will Allah Almighty hold me accountable if I ignore what I was told was a whisper, and it turns out on the Day of Judgment that some of it was not a whisper?
Whoever fears falling into disbelief and regards it as immense, that is a sign of the sincerity of their faith. What you mentioned about your fear that movements like laughter and smiling might lead to disbelief or Allah's wrath indicates that you are still suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Its cure is to completely disregard it and seek assistance from Allah Almighty.
