My name is Abdul Rahman, Razak Assalamualaikum. My question is,
how to pray a Salah with full concentration and thinking about
Allah. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran in surah
Momineen chapter number 23 was number one and to cut the Aflac
minute, Verily the believers, they are successful. I lean on V
Salatin, Pasha all those who they are in their prayer, humbly
submissive.
So you need to have who in your prayer.
And it is common that our mind wanders during the prayer.
Many people their mind wanders during the prayer.
If you are a businessman, you will think about your business how much
profit you've made during the prayer. If you are a student, you
will think about your studies.
If you have appeared for an examination, you will start
reviewing the examination paper during the salah. For question
two, I should have written so and so answer. Question three, I made
a mistake in the answer.
So it is common that our mind wanders during the prayer? How do
we prevent our mind from wandering during the prayer? The first thing
that we need to do is to focus on the meaning of what we are
reciting. If you know Arabic as the language this is the best. If
you will not know Arabic as a language, then we should recollect
the meaning we need to memorize the meaning of what we are
reciting.
For example, when we recite Surah Fatiha Al hamdu lillahi rabbil
aalameen in our mind, we should recollect the meaning
all Praise to Allah, the Lord of the worlds or Rahman Rahim, the
most gracious the most merciful, we should recollect the meaning.
But after a few days, after a few weeks, even this will become
mechanical. So, after recollecting the meaning, we should ponder upon
the meaning of what we are reciting.
And if we do so, inshAllah mindmint not wander and I would
like to share with you an incident
once the people that were offering salah, and the Imam and the
macdaddy, the people who are following the Imam, after they
completed their prayer, they were confused, did we offer Pooraka? Or
do they offer three raka in the Margaret prayer.
So, one person, he says
that I am sure that we have offered only two raka in the
Margaret prayer. So, the people they asked him, How do you know
how can you be so sure, how can you be 100%? Sure.
So he says, I am 100% sure that we have offered to raka instead of
offering three Rakhine the McGraw prayer, because whenever I offer
the McGraw prayer
in each raka I do calculation of the profit that I have made in my
shop, I have three shops in each raka I do calculation of one shop.
So in three data, I do calculation of three shops, but in this salah
I did calculation only have two shops. I did not do calculation of
three shops. So that is the reason I'm sure that we have offered only
to Raka.
So it is common that people their mind wanders during the prayer.
And the reason our mind wanders is because our mind is not occupied.
An empty mind is the devil's workshop. And then we'll call you
Mr. Josie Rahim Allah. He mentioned in his book I'll provide
on page number 200 that every individual stands in front of his
Lord on two different occasions.
The first is while he's offering salah, and the second is on the
Day of Judgment when he meets his Lord YBNL time Rahim Allah He said
these two different occasions that an individual a believer stands in
front of his Lord. But if you do not offer Salah correctly, then
your accountability on the Day of Judgment, it will not go with
ease.
Now let's discuss a few ways in which we can attain Kusu and
concentration in our prayer. The first is bearing in mind who
you're standing in front of knowing the greatness of Allah
subhanaw taala knowing how great Allah subhanaw taala is, if you
know how great Allah subhanaw taala is, inshallah you will have
Hulu and concentration in your prayer. The second is knowing that
Allah subhanaw taala he is keeping an eye on you and he is watching
you.
The third is
is offering your Salah with the intention of gaining complete
reward from Allah subhanaw taala.
The fourth and as I mentioned earlier, it is a very important
point that recollecting and concentrating upon the meaning of
what you're reciting, you should concentrate on the worst of the
Glorious Quran
and also you should concentrate
on the other car that you see during the prayer. So this is very
important.
Besides this, you should also see to that your mind does not wander
during the prayer.
You should also see to it that there are no objects around you
that could distract you. For example, images, people making
some noises. There may be music, people causing disturbance. When
you offer Salah you should pray in such a place where there is no
disturbance.
And I would like to share with you a small personal tip, concentrate
and focus only
about the Salah. And make your mind set in such a way that you
are going to face your Lord
and then start your prayer. Inshallah you will have to and
concentration in your prayer.
And our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said
that ALLAH turns towards a slave as long as he does not look around
in his prayer. So do not look around in your prayer.
So we should not look around in our prayer
and we should also remember that we should offer our Salah as
though it is our last prayer
and if we offer our Salah in this way, inshallah we'll offer it
correctly with who sue in Surrey and caribou chapter 29 was Psalm
45.
In the Salah, Tattenham and fascia you will milker for when the
prayer prevents from shameful and unjust deeds.
Salah prayer prevents from shameful and unjust deeds. If we
offer our Salah correctly with Kusu with concentration we will
have a righteous life and Salah will prevent us from shameful and
immodesty. It's the first thing among the deeds that will be
questioned to us on the Day of Judgment. It is our prayer. If it
is done correctly, the remaining deeds it will follow.
So we pray to Allah subhanaw taala that May he accept all our Salah
all our prayers, and may He helped us to get ultimate Hulu and
concentration during a prayer
