Is it sinful to think bad words without saying them?

Assalamu alaikum. I've been wondering, what if I think stuff like 'what the heck' in my head? Does it count as a sin even if I don't speak it? I'm not cursing at anyone, just to myself. So is it okay? Of course, I'm trying to quit this habit anyway. Just curious and want to stay on the right path.

Yo, the fact you care shows your iman. I heard thoughts aren't sins till you act on them. Keep striving, akhi.

Bro, Allah knows what's in our hearts. If you're fighting it, that's a good sign. Just keep making istighfar.

It's a whisper from shaytan, man. Don't dwell on it. Replace it with dhikr, like subhanallah, and you're good.

Lol I've been there. My imam said unintended thoughts aren't sinful, but entertaining them might be. So just ignore and move on.

Assalamu alaikum. In our deen, inner speech isn't written as sin unless spoken, alhamdulillah. Still, purify your mind with Quran.
