Question

I am getting this waswasa contineously and not able to concentrate on any where due to the waswasa.

I hope if you will proivde with refernace of quran and hadith which says that all sifat(all attributes) of allah are eternal and everlasting (without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing), that would be great help.I am worry about my iman.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

The solution to your dilemma is that whenever such waswasās (evil thoughts) afflict you, you should immediately dispel them from your mind by ignoring them, seek protection in Allah Taʿālā from Shayṭān and say, “I believe in Allah Taʿālā as He is with His Attributes and accept all His Laws.”

And Allah Taʿālā Knows Best
