Salam Alaykum. I'm in despair. I suffer from a strong waswas for several months now, and I completely lost my mind. Now, since I've read that making jokes about religion makes u come out from Islam, I became kinda paranoid and I have little panic attacks (tears and fear) bc I'm afraid of the rejection of God even if I don't do anything. I have those panic attacks when I read some posts that talk about religion, some comic strips (idk how to explain sorry) but I'm really afraid about this pls hlp
(I’m the same person who just sent you an ask about my waswas) I don’t know what to do, I feel weak and I’m afraid, I don’t believe myself, my own thoughts. So I’m afraid that for God I’m not a muslim anymore and that He doesn’t answer my Duas anymore nor my good deeds (even though I didn’t do anything, I just read some things and was avoiding any thout)…. Djazak Allah for what you are doing
It’s so important for you to know that when you are so conscious of these things, it’s clear Allah is not rejecting you. I’m not sure what exactly you mean by jokes/comic strips, however, getting so stressed over these things isn’t helping. Firstly, look into the claims you’ve read to see if they’re of merit. Comfort yourself in knowing, you haven’t done anything wrong as you said. If you sin unknowingly, you’re not punished for this, just work on avoiding the sin, so you’re doing ok. Keep doing good deeds! Keep up with salaah! Know your identity is Islam <3 You are a Muslim. Allah (swt) knows what’s in your heart.
Secondly, I definitely think you should work on the wawaas; here are some tips:

If your panic attacks continue, I encourage you to consult with your doctor about this, as is could be a medical situation.
I will be making dua for you! If you ever need some reassurance during these moments, please feel free to reach out to me. My good friend @beardgame is also extremely good at comforting and discussing these types of situations as well.
