The answer

We pray that Allah grants the questioner healing and well-being. We advise him to seek refuge in Allah, to engage in abundant remembrance (dhikr), supplication (du'a), and legal (exorcism) as a cure for intrusive thoughts (waswas). 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.
