Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

This feeling is nothing but mere whispers. You have to ignore this feeling and not care about it or pay attention to it.

Perform ablution and then pray only once, and do not redo any of your acts of worship no matter how much whispers you had. Be confident and certain that your acts of worship are valid and accepted, as these thoughts and illusions do not affect their validity.

Allah knows best.
