I have learned that:
It takes about:
1 minute to say SubhanAllah wa Bihamdih 100 times (fast but pronouncing the words correctly)
45 seconds to say AstaghfurAllah 100 times (if you say it fast -of course pronouncing the phrase correctly)
30 to 45 minutes to recite Surat Al-Kahf (depending on how fast you recite the Surah)
Note: it is a Sunnah to always recite Surat Al-Kahf on every Friday
not more than 6 minutes to recite Surat Al-Mulk
Note: always recite Surat Al-Mulk every day and night
1, 2, or 3 minutes for a Muslim to perform ablution/wudhoo
about 15 seconds for a Muslim to perform ablution with haste/too much speed
about 10 or 15 minutes for a Muslim with OCD to perform ablution
So you can stop suffering from OCD insha-Allah, follow these 3 steps:
1) Ask yourself, 'Did the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) keep repeating his ablution and salah over and over again?
2) By repeating your wudhoo/ablution and prayer unnecessarily you are just wasting your time and energy, and it may be that while you keep repeating your ablution or salah, the time for that prayer you wanted to pray is over, so that you missed that salah while the next salah/prayer time has started.
3) Those thoughts that keep telling you 'maybe you missed a spot' or 'you forgot to say Bismillah' 'or you didn't say it right, start over again', could be whispers from Satan/Shaytan.
Shaytan wants you, Muslim with OCD, to feel that performing ablution and the salah/prayer is a burden until in the end you give up praying. AstaghfurAllah!
Trust in Allah. And keep ignoring the whispers of Shaytan. May Allah guide us all to what He (Allah) loves and keep us away from what He (Allah) hates. Ameen.
