If I keep getting blasphemous thoughts about Allah and the Masoomeen (as), especially Syeda Fatima (s.a), and sometimes even intentionally think or about to say them but stop myself out loud, does that make me a non-believer?

I have been struggling with blasphemous thoughts about Allah and the Masoomeen (as), especially Syeda Fatima (sa). These thoughts come to mind whenever I see their names, and sometimes I even intentionally repeat them because they were already in my head. I constantly say Istighfar and remind myself that these aren't my true thoughts, but the cycle continues. I would never say such things to my own mother, yet I can't stop these thoughts about the holy figures. It began during Muharram and worsens during that time—I can't even listen to Majalis anymore. Even during Salah, I curse myself and feel overwhelmed. Am I sinning every time I intentionally think something bad about them, and is there even forgiveness for this? I know this is the true Islam, and I want to die with faith in the Masoomeen (a.s).

Bad thoughts are from Shaitan. You try to avoid them as much as you can by seeking refuge of Allah أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم.
