Even if we were to live our entire life with sickness, then we will submit to the will of Allah Taala as this is the ultimate meaning of being a Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">We need to understand that OCD or wasaawis (i.e., whisperings of shaytan) is a mental state which is made worse by either our own lack of willpower or giving shaytan the upper hand in our affairs. The longer we spend in dirty places or we stay away from the zikr of Allah Taala, then shaytan would have more access to us and our weaknesses. Hence, we must make sure to block shaytan and wasaawis out of our minds and not to pay any attention to the thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Try to stay in wudhu at all times and make fresh wudhu every time one uses the bathroom. Read Quran and ponder over the meaning, and make abundance of zikr with concentration. Remember that Allah Taala doesn\u2019t burden a soul more than it can take, so have the belief that Allah Taala is testing us and that He will be our helper in all our affairs if we truly turn to Him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
