SIX WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SALAH
1.Pray on Time
When one prays on time, this means
that they have left al worldly affairs
and dedicated this time to Allah its
as we all should. Hence the Prophet s
said answering the one who asked him
which deed is most beloved to Allah ﷻ
"Prayer done on Time.
(Sahih Muslim 85)
2. Understand Words
By making an effort to understand
the verses that you are reciting, you'll
be able to form a deep connection
with Allah ﷻ as and His words in
the Quran. Moreover, contemplating
the words you say and the actions that
you complete throughout your prayer
allows you to maintain focus and
remember your purpose in this life!
3. Do Not Rush
When you pray, take your time!
Remember that Allah ﷻ is in control of
the situation you might be rushing to.
More importantly, remember that
you are standing in front of the lord
of the worlds! Relieve yourself of the
stresses of your life and take comfort
in your prayer. Allah ﷻ warns us against
those who pray without giving Salah
salah the attention and the time it
deserves: "So woe to the praying ones,
Who are unmindful of their prayer -"
(Quran, 107:5-6)
4. Eliminate Distraction
Try to pray in a quiet place, where you know
there will be no distractions. Distractions are
not only on your phone or your business but
can also be from your family and children!
Allah às warns us of this in the Quran, and
speaks directly to the believers:
"O you who believe, let not your
wealth nor your children divert you
from the remembrance of Allah and
whoever does that, these are the losers.
(Quran, 63:9)
5. Calm Your Mind
Give your mind a break for a few minutes
before praying. Take time out from your
tasks and relax. Prepare the mind by thinking
about your upcoming salat. Remind yourself
that Allah is waiting for your salat and will
will listen to every word you say. This will
help ensure concentration during prayer.
6. Fight With Shaytan
Bring the mind back when ever you feel
that focus has been lost. Remember that
shaitaan's mission is to separate us from
Allah and that one of his favorite tactics to
do this is to make us lose concentration in
salah. Don't fall into his traps!
