Sister, there's no certain way to know if the voice within us is from Allah or our own desires.

Then sister does it mean, as long as the voice is saying something good and not to do wrong, then maybe its Allah speaking to our mind or our hearts? I know he would never tell us anything wrong or bad or harmful.

salaam abuayisha, thank you for this surah in Quran, I did not know that we were not held accountable for our thoughts unless we act upon them. Thank you for that. Allah is truly merciful to us. |

As Salamu Alaikum
Sis Fatimah here's a hadith - The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, �Allah has forgiven my Ummah of the whisperings of their souls so long as they do not talk about it or act accordingly.� We are not accountable of the self-talk unless we dwell on them and nurture them in our minds, since we have no control over them. We are accountable if we dwell on them as well as for the deliberate intentions that we formulate based on these thoughts |

Brother Abu Ayisha, i had been looking for this answer to sis Fatimah's question.
Allah's speech is final, now that there's no wahy, but there's something called Ilhaam{Elhaam} , which is a secret inspiration, and very virtuos are blessed with it sometimes. So sis Fatimah's question was how to differentiate between voice of nafs and Ilhaam {if at all}. What do you say brother ? What i learnt is, we can't exactly know what the inner voice is ? If its from Allah or nafs ? |

What evidence do we have for "secret inspiration" Ilhaam? If the inner voice is in accordance with Quran and Sunnah, its source is a knowledge which doesn't really benefit us, and we only need to act upon good whispers. If the whisper is evil, clearly it is not from Allah, and if we act upon it we are blameworthy, and if we refrain, we are rewarded. And Allah Knows Best.
