    WasWas is an Arabic word that means things come up in your mind out of nowhere. In Islam, it is associated with doubts and distraction from the faith and namaz. Waswas can come from various reasons but these are the main reasons:

    • Shaytan: In Islamic belief, Shaytan is seen as the primary reason of waswas. Satan aims to lead people wrong direction from the path of righteousness, and one way he does this is by planting doubts in human minds.
    • Nafs: The human Nafs can also be a reason for waswas. Human beings naturally create doubts and feed negative thoughts.
    • External Influences: Factors in the external environment, such as negative people, harmful media, or stressful situations, can generate waswas. These influences may trigger intrusive thoughts or exacerbate existing doubts.
    • Psychological: Some waswas may be rooted in psychological conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or anxiety disorders. In these cases, the intrusive thoughts are not necessarily spiritual but can still disturb a person mindset.

    In dealing with waswas, Islamic teachings always want us to seek help from Allah. Seeking knowledge, and maintaining a strong faith. Consulting with knowledgeable scholars or mental health professionals can also be beneficial for people struggling with negative thoughts.

    In Islam, the Day of Judgment is a big day. It is the day when everything ends, and Allah makes final decisions about everyone sins. Imagine a huge court room where every person who ever lived is being judged.

    So, when is it? Well, only Allah knows for sure. It is a big mystery. But there are signs in Islam that tell us when it is getting closer.

    On that day, everyone will be brought back to life, even if they died a long time ago. Then, they will have to answer for every deed they did in their life. It is like a big review of how we live. Good deeds will make people happy, but bad deeds will make them sad.

    Allah will be fair with everyone. He will decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. It is a serious day because it is when every sin counts, and there is no way to go back to life to change things.

    So, Muslims believe it is very important to live a good life. Follow Allah all rules and be kind to others. That way, when the Day of Judgment comes, they will be ready.
