Overcoming stray thoughts
Q: I see kufr images in my head and hear whispers of kufr. I try not think about it but it keeps on coming and my own soul tells me that I believe this things. I don't know what to do. Can you kindly advise me.
A: Don't pay attention to these stray thoughts and when you are overcome by these stray thoughts, then recite laa hawla wala quwwata illa billah.
You should refrain from going to places that are not conducive to the value system of Islam. Similarly, you should refrain from the company of unscrupulous people or people that are not committed to deen, and you should also avoid reading literature or material that are of an impermissible or doubtful nature which can create confusion and doubts in your deen (whether on the cellphone, internet, etc.).
Generally, these things lead to doubts being created in one's mind regarding one's deen.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
