Reading books that create doubts and suspicion

Q: Recently I read a book and it contained things about another religion. I suffer from severe waswas so I started thinking what if I disbelieved in what should be believed. So can you please tell me whether these statements are correct in the light of Islam or not.

1- God will not abandon us

2- Hand of God is leading us

3- Lord stretched out His Hand and gathered you in the true fold as He will all nations in His own good time

4- The Hand of the Lord shall be heavy upon you

5- and the Lord go with you

6- He shall arise and smite you

A: Belief is not based on speculation and guess work. Don't pay attention to all this. Further, since you are affected by wasaawis don't ever read such books that will cause more confusion.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
