Waswasah – The Whispering of Shaitan | Islamic Protection by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Juwiyyah

Waswasah: The Whispering of Shaitan is a powerful Islamic book that explains how Satan influences human thoughts through whispering (waswasah) and doubt. Based on authentic Islamic teachings, this book highlights the strategies used by Shaitan to mislead believers in matters of worship, purity, and daily life. It also provides clear, practical solutions from the Qur’an and Sunnah to overcome these whispers, strengthen faith, and maintain mental and spiritual clarity. The book discusses important topics such as intention in worship, purification, excessive doubts, and ways to ignore unnecessary confusion in religious practice. It is a valuable guide for anyone struggling with overthinking, spiritual anxiety, or doubts in acts of worship, helping readers build stronger trust in Allah and achieve peace of heart.

From Author:

Allah (swt) warned us that the Shaitan will try to mislead the children of Adam and that he will whisper to us to disobey Allah and worship others beside Him. To be aware of this plot is part of being on guard against him. This book compiled from the works of Imam Ibn Al-Qayim Al-Jawziyah & Imam Muwafaq Udeen Ibn Qudaam Al-Hanbali looks at the whispering of shaitan in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Content:

Waswasah: The Whispering of Shaitan by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah explores the concept of satanic whispering (waswasah) and its effects on a believer’s worship, purity, and daily religious practice. The book also includes insights from classical Islamic scholarship on how to overcome doubts and spiritual confusion.

Understanding Waswasah

The book explains how Shaytan misleads humans through doubts in worship, especially in purification (wudu), salah, and intention (niyyah), causing unnecessary confusion and hardship in religious practice.

Purification & Worship Issues

It addresses common obsessive doubts in acts like wudu, ghusl, cleanliness, prayer performance, and even pronunciation—clarifying the correct Islamic rulings based on Sunnah.

Correct Concept of Niyyah

A key lesson is that intention is in the heart, not the tongue. Actions like standing for prayer or preparing for wudu already indicate intention, removing the need for repetitive verbal declarations.

Practical Guidance

The book offers practical remedies to overcome waswasah by following authentic Sunnah, avoiding exaggeration in worship, and strengthening trust in Allah’s guidance.

Goal of the Book

It aims to help Muslims recognize Shaytan’s tactics and return to a balanced, peaceful, and confident practice of Islam without unnecessary doubts or extremes.

The Stratagems of the Devil used by the Children of Adam
Allah has informed us about His enemy, Iblis (the Satan), when He asked him why he refused to prostrate to Adam Iblis argued that he was better than Adam, and asked Allah 3% to allow him respite, and He allowed him so. Then Iblis, the enemy of Allah, said:
قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ثُمَّ لَا تِيَنَّهُم مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَنِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَابِلِهِمْ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَكِرِينَ
(Because you have sent me astray, surely, I will lie in wait against them (on) Your Straight Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and you will not find most of them
Page:05
Niyyah in Taharah and Salaah
Niyyah is the intention and will to do an activity. Its place is in the heart, as it is unrelated to the tongue. Therefore, it was reported from the Prophet and his Companions that they used to make a niyyah for each circumstance. These expressions47, which were invented to be used at the beginning of wudu' and Salaah, have been made the subject of dispute among people under Satan's influence. He always reminds them to pronounce those expressions properly, and so you find one of them repeating the words of niyyah with difficulty, while this is not part of Salaah at all; rather the niyyah is the intention in the heart to do an act. Whoever sits down to perform wudu' has indeed made niyyah to do wudu'; and whoever stands up to perform Salaah has indeed made the niyyah to do Salaah.
Therefore, one's niyyah is made, automatically, with any
Expressions such as: "I intend to perform wudu' for such and such a Salaah," etc.
