How to stop Whispers of Satan/ Devil ( waswas )

 Why does Shaitan 9  always like to pick on me with waswas what am I doing wrong I get it in prayer and my daily life makes me doubt things and people

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu,

It happens sometimes that we won’t be able to concentrate in our salaah. When we stand for the prayer always keep in mind that Allah is watching us and maybe it’s our last salaah and we won’t get other chance to pray as mentioned in hadith:

It is reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “Pray and consider  that as your last prayer in this world and as if you see your lord, as if you do not see Him He truly seeing you.” Reported by Ibn Majah and Tabrani.

Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do. (Surat Al-`Ankabūt 29:45)

Increase Your Good Deeds

Our faith is not constant. It goes up and down. Doing good deeds increases our faith, and those with more faith are bound to be more fearful of their Lord and more mindful of death.
This will bring us hope for the Mercy of Allah while also breeding fear of His wrath.

Hence, performing extra good deeds like reciting Quran, giving charity, making extra prayers, and performing voluntary fasts should also improve our focus in prayer.

Decrease Your Bad Deeds

If increasing good deeds will improve our concentration in prayer, then obviously decreasing our bad deeds will have the same effect.
When we commit sin, we open ourselves up for the Shaytan (Devil) and his whispers. If the noble companions had to struggle to ward off his plans, then how much more vulnerable are we?

In shaa Allah, let’s watch our sins, keep them to a minimum, and seek repentance when we fall short. This will also increase our faith and in turn, our khushoo’.

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him):
The Prophet  said, "Allah forgives my followers those (evil deeds) their souls may whisper or suggest to them as long as they do not act (on it) or speak." (Sahih Bukhari- hadith 6664)

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him)
The Prophet  said, "Allah has forgiven my followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long as such thoughts are not put into action or uttered." And Qatada said,“If someone divorces his wife just in his mind, such an unuttered divorce has no effect. (Sahih Bukhari- Hadith 5269)

 So, you should constantly seek refuge in Allah from these whispers. May Allah guide us to the straight path.
Ameen
