Key OCD Insight - Trusting Allah


Part of the anxiety associated with OCD comes from shaitan and his whispering (waswasas). We can relieve this partial anxiety by placing our trust in Allah. As Allah (swt) says:
“Verily, he has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord (Allah).”
(Surah An-Nahl 16 : 99)

Keep in mind, however, that not all OCD anxiety is from the waswasas. Other anxiety can arise because the person consumes caffeine (coffee, for example).
