tried my best to find someone to help me and this is where Ive come.
I have this problem, whichmy family says its waswasa, and that problem
is that whenever I recite the Quran I always think i have made a
mistake and when I pray I forget if I did the 2 sujuud or said salam,
and I also mix up in saying al tahiyatand sometimes forget what I
said...And even during wudhu I always feel that i keep on breaking
wind during wudhu and sometimes I forget if I have washed someparts,
for example: sometimes i feel I forgot to wash my hands sometimes my
face and soon and all this makes me keep on repeating the wudhu...
This matter has gone to such an extent that duringa wudhu, I was
trying to think of a way to stop all this, so during that wudhui said:
"I swear on Allah, if irepeat anything during this wudhu, Allah count
me as a kafir" and at another time i made up another oath saying:" I
swear on Allah, if i repeat the wudhu, Oh Angels jin and shayateen,
count me as kaafir"... i thought theseoaths will keep me scared from
repeating wudhu, so I used the same oaths during prayer to keep me
away from repeating the verses of the Quran again and again...It
worked well until, at times i repeated the wudhu and at times i
repeated the verses, I am scared if this oath has made me a kafir, I'm
a pious Muslim and Momin and I pray to and worship Allah everyday ,
and my heart is strong with Iman.
I am really sad of what I have done, and Swore i won't do these types
of oaths,and again I say I am scared if this oath has made me a kafir,
so this is why I try and contact you for an answer to this question,
has this oath made me a kafir?
I would be very thankful for an answer.
Jazakum Allahu Khayran.
If possible, could you tell me of a way to stop repeating the wudhu
due to the wind break feeling and forgetfullness and a way to stop the
forgetfullness in salah and a way to stop the continious repeating of
the ayas?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It makes no sense and it isnot prescribed in Islam in any way to
expose your religious commitment to the whispers (waswaas) ofthe
Shaytaan so that he may toy with it as he wishes and make you mess
about with your religious commitment like someone who is gamblingby
swearing oaths and making vows. Your religious commitment is too
important and too precious for this kind of risky behaviour. Your
enemy is lying in wait for you and seeks to instil in your heart his
devilish whispers, doubts and bad thoughts, so as to distract you from
worship and weaken your commitmentto it. And he seeks to
instillanxiety and distress in your heart. You have seen how you have
ended up with his whispers (waswaas).
The matter is much more straightforward than that. A person's act of
worship cannot be ended or invalidated on the basis ofmere
uncertainty, let alone the waswaas that is attacking you, that is
closer to being a sickness than wellbeing.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah havemercy on him) was asked:
what if a person does wudoo' and stands to pray, then feels some
wetness (such as a drop ofurine etc) whilst he is praying. Does that
invalidate his prayer or not?
He replied:
Merely feeling something does not invalidate wudoo' and it is not
permissible for him to exitan obligatory prayer on the basis of mere
uncertainty. If he is certainthat urine has been secreted to the
outside of the penis, then his wudoo'is invalidated and he has to wash
himself (istinja'), unless he is suffering from urinary incontinence.
But the prayer is not invalidated by a mere feeling, if he has done
what is enjoined upon him.
