Question
How should I combat an evil waswasah? I tend to fantasize much.
Answer
As soon as a fanciful notion develops in the mind, then without a second's delay lapse into Thikrullaah. Do not delay to allow the mind to brood on the notion which creates the fantasizing. This is the prescription of the Qur'aan Majeed. Allah Ta'ala says: "When a wasawasah from shaitaan assaults you, then seek the protection of Allah (i.e. Recite Ta-awwuz and lapse into Thikrullah)."
In another Aayat, Allah Ta'ala says: "Verily, when a clique of shaytaan touches those of Taqwa, they lapse into Thikrullah. Then they see (understand the plot of shaitaan and overcome it)."
