Its remedy is easy, in shāʾ Allāh.
1. The individual should increase in remembrance of Allāh.
2. The individual should do what Allāh is pleased with.
3. When these satanic thoughts come, he should repel them with Sūrah al-Ikhlāṣ and the muʿawwidhatān (al-Falaq and an-Nās).
4. Increase in seeking forgiveness. This repels Shayṭān because his plot is weak.
5. Be sincere and, Allāh-willing, you will be guarded.
