It is mentioned in hadith:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Narrated Abu Huraira:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Prophet (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ufdfa<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) said, &#8220;Allah has forgiven my followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long as such thoughts are not put into action or uttered.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u201d (Bukhari 5269)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">This means that internal thoughts or conversations in your mind, no matter how inappropriate they may seem, do not affect your faith unless they are intentionally verbalized or acted upon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In Hanafi Fiqh, &#8220;uttering&#8221; requires a clear expression, either by sound or by deliberate communication through clear movement of the lips and tongue. If you are unsure whether you moved your lips or tongue intentionally, this doubt does not constitute kufr because:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Kufr requires intentionality: Actions or statements of kufr must be done knowingly and willingly. Doubt or accidental movement does not meet this threshold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">And with the doubt you are encountering, will also fall under the rule of Certainty overrides doubt; In Islamic jurisprudence, the principle is that certainty cannot be overruled by doubt. Since you are most certain that you did not intentionally move your mouth or express kufr, you remain in the state of Islam. (Qawaaid Fiqiyyah, chapter of certainty overruled by doubt, page 15).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">From your question, it seems there is much waswasa that makes you feel anxious and uneasy.
