The one suffering from waswasah should Also ask Allah’s help to overcome such wasawis and seek medical treatment if such wasawis are haunting them. In this regard, one can seek the help of our IslamOnline-English-Cyber_Counselor/Page/CyberCounselE" rel="dofollow" >Cyber Counselor for more professional counselling. Actually, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to seek therapy and treatment. Imam Ahmad reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said “Seek medication, O slaves of Allah, for Allah has not caused any illness but provided a medicine for it except one illness i.e. old age”.

Further, we all ought to be sure that the any suffering experience is a test from Allah, and that our patience will be of great reward. The prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “No fatigue, nor disease, nor anxiety, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that.”

We should try to put our full confidence in Allah and ask Him for help and support. Be persistent in making Du`a’ that Allah relieves from this pain. Also, we should do all what we can in strengthening our relation with Him, reciting the Qur’an, being constant in offering Prayer, and spending in charity.

Regarding your wudu’, we’d like to state that regarding the obligator parts of wudu’, what is obligatory to wash the face once or thrice in a way that one becomes assured that water reaches all parts of the face. If water reached all parts of your face after washing it one time or three times you should not pay any attention to any wasawis. As for washing hands up to the elbows, the basic ruling is that water must reach the whole parts of one’s hand from the end of fingers up to the elbows. Once you are certain that water has reached your hands up to the elbows, you should never pay attention to any whisperings and henceforth.
