Question: What is the ruling for the person who says that thoughts of disbelief come into his mind when he is in trouble?
Answer: If thoughts of disbelief come into the mind of a person and he considers it bad to express them, it is a sign of real faith. Thoughts of disbelief are caused by the accursed Satan who wants to ruin the faith of the Muslim. Some blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم came in the court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and humbly said, ‘We have such thoughts that we consider it very bad to express them.’ The Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Is it really so?’ They humbly said, ‘Yes.’ He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘It is a sign of pure faith.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 80, Hadees 132) A legendary and leading scholar of Shari’ah and Tareeqah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has stated: If the thought of disbelief comes into the heart of a person and he considers it bad to express it in words, so it is not disbelief but rather it is a specific sign of faith. Would he consider it bad, if there were no faith in his heart! (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 2, part 9, pp. 456)

Answer: No, he will not be charged with disbelief in this case.
