Don’t Pay Attention to Waswasa

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 114:04). ‘Min sharri l-waswāsi l-kḥannās’, ‘From the evil of the retreating whisperer.’ We seek refuge from the evil of shaytan who makes Waswasa/whisperings. That Waswasa damages people’s belief and harms their lives. People have more Waswasa now because of this illness. Muslims and non-Muslims are all caught up in Waswasa, “Will we get sick if we get up or if we sit down? If we go or if we come?” Governments have gone really far with it.

Waswasa is not a good thing. There is Waswasa of shaytan and Waswasa of people. Waswasa is used to destroy the religion, to destroy Islam. Groups occur within Muslims who say, “Your way is not the real way. Leave it and come to the right way”; whereas what they mean by the right way is a fabrication that has appeared recently. They made it up themselves in order to take people out of the religion and Iman.

In the beginning, as we said, they did it by attacking Muslims. But now they ruined the whole world with Waswasa. And now they are trying to set up a new order. However, their order will crash down with the permission of Allah ﷻ. The religion of Allah ﷻ will be apparent all over the world. They are striving to ruin the whole world as they like with Waswasa. But it will crash down. There is no other option. Eventually, Allah ﷻ is the winner. No one can win against Allah ﷻ.

Therefore, Muslims should not pay attention to Waswasa. Waswasa starts with little things, and then it grows. All of the group of Salafis and Wahabis are the kings of Waswasa. There is a story about them. There is a place called Al-Qassim in Saudi Arabia. It is the heart of it. Two Salafi men were standing there and saying, “These people did so, they are Kafirs. Those people did so, they are Mushriks. These people did so, they are out

www.hakkani.org of religion”. At last, only their country was left. They said everyone was out of religion there as well. They talked about their village then. One of them asked, “Do you have this at home?” Another one replied, “Yes”. “Then you are also Mushrik. There is no one except me in this world”, said the first one.

Waswasa is like this. It disparages people. It is nothing but egoism and the work of shaytan. It is done on purpose by adding various things in the religion by bad scholars. While trying to give advice to people, they spread poison not advice. They didn’t accept the way of truth and claimed that others are wrong. So they made Waswasa to the majority who are Ahlu l-Sunnah wa l-Jama’ah, people of Tariqah and people of Shari’ah by saying that they are on the wrong way. Their Waswasa has reversed on them. They lost their own Iman. May Allah ﷻ protect us from Waswasa.

As we said, get rid of Waswasa when it is little; as while taking ablution and so on. Don’t pay attention to it. If you have it once, beware of following it the second time. Don’t fall into Waswasa by thinking if your prayer is valid or not, because what follows is even bigger and even worse for people. Allah ﷻ has shown easiness, therefore, get rid of it when it is little.

Millions and billions of people who came here since the time of our Holy Prophet ﷺ took ablution with a bottle of water. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim said that he made Ghusl with a jug of water during Hajj. And because of Waswasa, they use a barrel of water now and cannot stop it [Waswasa]. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of shaytan and evil of Waswasa insha’Allah.
