Surah: 007 - Ayah: 020

7:20

How can the Satanic waswasah be removed or diminished in ibadat and what is the means to escape from it?
First of all it is necessary to know “what is waswasah” and what are the causes of its mental existence. For it is possible to eradicate a disease by diagonising it meticulously. When we see the holy Quran we find the word “waswasah” in five separate verses which are: 7:20; 20:120; 50:16; 114:5.
There are various translations of the word “waswasah” and there can be still more. But in this connection an appropriate and understandable one is “perplexing and disturbing thoughts”. These thoughts which provide all means of distracting attention and which are caused in the heart of a person by the Satan, appear in varied forms of word and meaning. In other words waswasah is the name given to such disapproved and abhorrent inner states which sway hearts, mind and inner sense in varying degrees and from their darkness and murkiness none is excluded except the one whom the light of guidance (nur-I hidayat) helps.\\ Waswasa is also called waswas whose plural is wasawis. It is also in the form os a conspicuous disease in which different kinds of vain thoughts torment the sick and such a person mentally becomes ery weak. In this example of waswasah, whichis in the form of a disease in front of the people, the diveine Law in the language of wisdom, says to the people of intelligence that the external form of the waswasah, which is hidden in you and which out of ignorance you do not dislike, is such, that you can easily see it.Thus the people of intelligence should consider it the snare of the Satan and his poised arrow and try to protect themselves from it.
