The question

If a person believes in something, and others do not know about it, does the one who does not believe in it become an infidel, and is that considered a mistake? What if this matter is related to issues of creed, and is it necessary to know the ruling on one who does not believe in it for faith to be complete?

The answer

"The whispers have reached a significant level with you due to your indulgence and surrender to them. We advise you to turn away from these whispers and be gentle with yourself, and not to give Satan any way over you.

Al-Nawawi mentioned that the most beneficial cure for repelling whispers is to turn to the remembrance of Allah Almighty and to do so frequently. He also stated that whenever you feel a whisper, you should rejoice, because the joy of a believer infuriates Satan.

Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami was asked about the ailment of whispers, and he replied that its most effective cure is to completely disregard them. If one does not pay attention to them, they will not persist and will vanish. However, for whoever listens to them, they will increase until they drive him to the realm of the insane. He added that whispers are from Satan, who wishes to expel the believer from Islam. Al-'Izz ibn 'Abd al-Salam mentioned that the cure for whispers is to believe that it is a satanic thought, that Iblis brought it forth, and that you are fighting it, and thus you will have the reward of a mujahid."
