The answer

The optimal solution for obsessive whispers (waswas) is to disregard them and pay them no attention. If you doubt the emission of urine, a wet dream, or the invalidation of ablution, act according to the fundamental principle, which is that these things have not occurred unless there is absolute certainty. If you doubt having omitted something in prayer, do not pay attention to the doubt and proceed with your prayer. With perseverance and supplication, the obsessive whispers will, God willing, disappear.
