What is the remedy for obsessive thoughts and offensive imaginations concerning the Divine Being, which have increased during the nights of Ramadan, despite the questioner's diligence in acts of worship and night prayers?

We pray that Allah grants the questioner healing and well-being. We advise him to seek refuge in Allah, to engage in abundant remembrance (), supplication (du'a), and legal (exorcism) as a cure for intrusive thoughts (). We affirm that his eagerness to repel these thoughts is a sign of divine grace and sincere faith. We recommend increasing acts of seeking forgiveness (istighfar) and repentance (), as sins can be a cause of afflictions. We also remind him that calamities expiate sins.
