Question

What Do I Do If I Have Uncertainty About Oaths/Vows, Whether I Uttered or Just Had Thoughts?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.

This is just a thought you had; ignore it and don’t worry about it. However, next time, train your mind not to think this way. Relax your mind; worshipping Allah is not difficult once Allah gives you success, and He has given it to you. Don’t allow Shaytan to play with your mind. Rejoice, be grateful always, in remembrance, and be positive about everything, Insha Allah.
