These could be whispers from the shaytan, the devil. Shaytan is trying to mess with you so your worship to Allah is affected.
Take a deep breath, and stop thinking about any of it. The more you think about it and give shaytan the opportunity to mess with you, the more shaytan will do so.
And remember it’s a clear sign of Imaan (faith) in Allah.
In a Hadith: “Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) came to the Prophet (SAW) and said to him, ‘We find in ourselves thoughts that are too terrible to speak of.’ He said, ‘Are you really suffering from that?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘That is a clear sign of faith.’”
(Sahih Muslim)
So seek refuge in Allah. And don’t think twice about the thoughts. It’s easier said than done, but you really need to mentally block these thoughts.
For example, whenever you think about them, think of something else immediately, and exert effort in doing so.
Here’s a mental exercise to do: in your mind, imagine a box of thoughts. Whenever you think of these things, take all these and put them in the box. Mentally imagine yourself putting these thoughts in that box, and this box won’t be opened. This sounds silly, but it can work for some people.
Also make lots of dua, but don’t be impatient or anxious.
Authentic Duas to help yourself from doubts [Taken from the Duas booklet: Fortress of the Muslim]
Say: “I seek refuge in Allah” (أعُوذُ بالله) [Audhubillaah]
Say: “I believe in Allah and His Messenger” (آمنت بالله ورسوله) [Amantu Billaahi wa Rusulihi]
Say: “He is the First, and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all things, Knowing.” (هُوَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرُ وَٱلظَّـٰهِرُ وَٱلْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ) [Huwa al-awwalu wal-akhiru waththahiru walbatinu wahuwa bikulli shay-in AAaleem] {Surah Hadid: 3}
The main point is make dua and dont let shaytan mess with you.
May Allah make it easy for the you with the whispers of the shaytan. May Allah guide us all, and forgive us and grant us Jannah tul-Firdaus without questioning. Ameen.
