Arabic for whisperings of shaitan6/13/2023 ![]() ![]() In al-Saheehayn there is a report which supports what has been mentioned above, which is that whoever suffers from waswaas should seek refuge with Allaah and turn away from the waswaas. But for those who pay attention to them and act upon them, they increase until they make him like one who is insane or even worse, as we see among many of those who have suffered from them and paid attention to them and to the devil whose task it is to insinuate these whispers, whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned us against when he said, “Beware of the whispers with regard to water (i.e., wudoo/ablution) which is caused by a devil called Al-Walhaan” – because that causes a person to go to extremes with regard to doing Wudhoo', as was explained in Sharh Mishkaat al-Anwaar. When these whispers are ignored, they do not become established, rather they go away after a short time, as many people have experienced. There is an effective remedy for it, which is to ignore them completely, no matter how frequently they may come to mind. “He was asked about the problem of waswasah (insinuating whispers from the Shaytan), and whether there is a remedy for it. It is worth quoting here what Ibn Hajar al-Haythami (may Allaah have mercy on him) said about dealing with waswasah in his book al-Fataawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra, 1/149. “Verily, he has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord (Allaah).” Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): The best way to deal with them is to remember Allaah a great deal (Dhikr), to seek refuge with Allaah from the accursed Shaytan, to keep away from sins and wrong actions which are the means by which Iblees gains control over the sons of Adam. For these whispers (waswaas) come from the Shaytan to cause grief to those who believe. If a Muslim suffers from the satanic whispers (waswasah, plural: waswaas), whether that's against oneself, to cause self-inflicted harm or pain, whether about others, or to commit a sin and transgress the boundaries of Allaah, then s/he must try their utmost not to pay any attention to these whispers, and to ignore them, and to do the opposite of what they are calling you to do. Throughout the Noble Qur'aan, a clear explanation is given regarding the reality of the relationship between man and shaytaan, mainly in terms of this world and how Muslims should go about protecting themselves from his evil. (Noble life of the Prophet, Vol.1, Pg. ![]() The shaytaan too treats Muslims badly, by ordering them to do evil, but the only way they can protect themselves from this harm is to seek refuge in Allaah (swt) from shaytaan's evil. This is why Islaam encourages Muslims to treat well those human beings who treat them badly. Human beings, on the other hand, are open (at least in many cases) to being won over through kind acts of affection. Unlike human beings, shaytaan does not change his stance or attitude when someone tries to treat him kindly in his mind, the only way a person can win him over is by obeying his command to disobey Allaah (swt). What this means is that if the shaytaan whispers to you, commanding you to reciprocate the harm that is done to you and to gain revenge, then seek refuge in Allaah (swt) from shaytaan's evil whisperings. ![]() Indeed, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.' (Qur'aan, 41: 36) 'And if an evil whisper from shaytaan tries to turn you away (O Muhammad, from doing good), then seek refuge in Allaah. In this article we will be predominantely be discussing the whispers of shaytaan, the Jinn: Also, remember that there are Shayaateen from both the humankind as well as the Jinn. So, the only option, O Muslim, is to battle these Waswaas as satan never wants good for us and wants to take the worse out of us. If a person falls into it trap, they will leave their lives in a state of chaos, lose their respect and peace of mind. To destroy our characters (making us argumentative, proud, haughty, stingy, jealous, etc.) To make us doubt ourselves, think low of ourselves, hurt ourselves To make us depressed, down, lonely, and to make us feel dejected To turn us against people who maintaining ties with will help us to keep our lives at an equilibrium (such as husband, relatives, in-laws) Others think it's to make our faith weak, yet many fail to realise that some are to destroy our lives. When we speak about Waswasah (Satanic Whispers), we think it only happens to make us sin, and perpetrate something forbidden. Shaytaan tries to trick us in different ways. ![]()
