Assalamualaikumu
this is the better question of many
often it is seeking money which causes kafr thoughts
the explaination is embedded within Chinese culture; and the story of the cultural revolution is that resolution which the Chinese find in a sort of Jihad of non-believers who try to fault believers and find that they can not.
The Chinese whom are wrongly accused by non-believers (and it often has been that non-believers have successfully accused Chinese believers of kafr when they could not of any other thing) are enormously resilient. They can accomodate entire mountains of pain in their psychology.
The Chinese eventually arrive at the solution of counter accusing the non-belivers; but rather than a counter accusation with non-belief; a counter accusation of "if you want to believe in forever then in Allah you are to be accepted only if your forever into the future includes forever was the ill of the past yours also"; in that counter a believer is rescued by Allah, but a non-believer is in the definition of not believing, only thereby becoming responsible for every ill of the past:- that is, if they want forever to be real. That way the kafir are less difficult; and less kafr is stirred.
So the solution to avoiding kafr is to trust that fear of forever to Allah/ even if you are not yet able to be certain, know Allah is. It is the blessed thing to know that the thing you most fear is the resolution into nothing to fear. Alcoholics Anonymous call it "rock bottom". There are very many ways in many cultures of accepting that most difficult of all du'a. Allah grant that Humanity is freed of any kafr.
Meanwhile try the simplicity of never knowing what any other persons fault could be within not knowing even the accountiblity of your own faults. Just pray and commit to accepting what the account is in Allah even when it is not known. Then it is easier to always assume the best intentions.
Many folk in modern societies are socially pushed into considering it unwise, or ill-educated, or lacking in means, to just be like a child in assuming justice is. Why not try believing fully in innocent until proven guilty? That usually is effective.
Also whenever you catch yourself in kafr then make du'a to prevent any shaytan whom might have supposed to be taking advantage of forcing your mind into kafr; if they force your mind then you can not uncreate what they have caused; but you can notice that it was not what you wanted and thereby if you make du'a you become a shaytan catcher since they learn what not to do when Humans make du'a.
I hope that helps. Also learning the imagery of Animist cutlural belief always helps because then the shaytan can't make money from forcing you into kafr; since the result is not profitable to them. When a common kafr attaches to specific imagery of an animal then any harm from is connected back to the processes of mother nature, and proper management of the Earth's atmosphere.

for obvious reasons i prefer to complain anonymously regarding this thread.
http://www.islamicboard.com/basics-islam/30718-nature-faith-iman.html
personally i suffer from that alot
Issue is, EXTREMELY ugly and haram thoughts and phrases pass by my mind, even regarding Allah SWTthings that would render someone an apostate if they said them verbally.
My worry is, these thoughts are becoming so frequent that I can't even tell whether i'm inducing these thoughts or whehter its purely shaytan's interference. Not that these thoughts are due to doubts existing in me, i totally reject them, but they just keep occurring to me even though i dont feel even the slightest inclination to them.
I really hate to mention details, but sometiems shaytan makes me imagine myself uttering words against Allah and his prophet, when i get these thoughts hit I immediately follow it by seeking refuge from shaytan, and seriously the only way i get rid of the thoguhts is by shaking my head (physically) till the thoguht gets out of me. But sometimes i get flash backs and it's as if i'm saying it to myself and i don't know if that was intentional or was it shaytan whispering those thoughts to me.
I think this has been happening to me for over two years now. And i'm really suffering, but i'm really worried maybe because its my nafs that's seriously trying to play 'ill dare myself to say that n then seriously regret it'.
I must add, I TOTALLY REJECT THESE THOUGHTS, i love Allah and his messenger. But i don't know how to stop remembering these terrible things![]()

Does the hadiths refer to such things? like recalling (without will) these incidents and it almost feels as if ur saying those phrases to yourself?? but then u really regret it and keep saying istighfar and seeking refuge from Allah?
please help![]()

i belive one of the methods to get rid off the Kufir thoughts is Fear. Fear of Allah (SW) and his punishments.
It isnt lack of fear, subhanallah if anything it increases my Fear of Allah everytime I get an evil thought. Lately it's getting worse and I keep thinking that perhaps it isnt shaytan... maybe its my own subconscious.....
I dont know....
ive been talking to myself alot lately, everytime I get such a thought I try to distract myself and start talking loudly to myself, people around me are getting pretty worried. I've read all there is to read about waswas, its just you cant help but feel like an ungrateful creature when you harbour such thoughts against your Creator. I feel Allah cannot have mercy on me imsad
im surprised so many people go through this, I didnt want to talk about it but last night I hardly slept because of guilt, I can barely look at the screen right now... I guess the only defence mechanism against these thoughts is to read and live the Quran.
you need to relax...Most of the time, these things happen because you think too much about these things. If you are constantly worried about having these thoughts, then you WILL have these thoughts. For example, try telling yourself not to think of a zebra, you won't be able to stop thinking about it. Just chill, busy your mind with things, sports, studies etc.
