Is questioning the existence of another lord for humankind besides Allah, or the reasons for declaring those who affirm the createdness of the Qur’an disbelievers, despite believing it to be the word of Allah, considered disbelief? And is it obligatory to ask every time such whisperings occur? And is one ignorant of the rulings of prayer considered like one who abandons it in judgment?
A Muslim must learn what makes his worship valid and inquire about what is problematic. Direct learning from scholars is better than from books. Whoever abandons this has sinned. Doubt is removed by knowledge, and obsessive whispering (waswasa) is a disease that must be ignored and not indulged in. Waswasa related to belief does not harm its owner as long as he dislikes it. The "urine of Satan" is pure, and applying the term "Lord" (al-Rabb) to an owner is correct. The statement that the Qur'an is created is disbelief (kufr) because it implies that the word of Allah is created, while the attributes of Allah are uncreated. However, its utterer is not considered an apostate until the proof is established against him. The questioner's fear of being a non-performer of prayer due to ignorance is unfounded, and the hadith indicates that an ignorant person who does not perform prayer well is not considered a disbeliever but should be taught.
