Is a person who has inclined towards Islam and applied its rulings, yet harbors doubts in his heart due to waswas (whispers/temptations), considered a Muslim whose deeds are accepted, based on Allah’s saying: "The Bedouins say, 'We have believed.' Say, 'You have not believed, but say, "We have submitted," for faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you of anything from your deeds'"?

Whispers () are from the ploys of Satan, and a Muslim must repel them and not pay attention to them. The presence of these whispers, coupled with not speaking about them, indicates pure faith. Whoever experiences these whispers should turn away from them, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and say: "I have believed in Allah." It is also recommended to be diligent in remembering Allah (), reciting the Quran, and performing Shar'iyyah (Islamic exorcism/healing).
