Ahsan allahu ilaykum ustadh Can you explain what is meant by doubt (apostasy) and what is meant by intrusive thoughts so one can differentiate between the two to know whether he's still muslim or suffering from waswas? Can one doubt while he hates those doubts and fights them and doesn't accept them

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

‎Doubt that takes one out of Islam is wavering that settles in the heart and is accepted, while waswas is thoughts that come against your will, which you hate and push away. Hating and fighting them is a sign of faith, as the Prophet ﷺ‎ called it clear faith (Muslim), so do not dwell on them.
