Nine Tips to Stay Khushu' During Solah

REMINDER 

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Concentration In Solah Is A Pillar To Perfect Our Solah.

1. Before standing up for Prayer, try to deal with all the minor urgent matters that demand your attention. If you are pressed by hunger, eat first; if you are pressed to attend to the call of nature, relieve yourself first; if you are the parent of an infant, feed him or her, or keep him or her busy so the child will not distract you.  

2. Perform your wudhu’ (ablution) well, paying due care and attention, stop talking while performing ablution. 

3. Approach the Prayer with zest and passion as if it is the last prayer in your life before dying, it could very be as none of us is given a guarantee of being alive till the next solah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us that we could do nothing in this world that could ever surpass Prayer in merit and excellence.  

4. Visualize that in your Prayer you are going to have a special audience with ALLAH, Lord of the worlds, and that you are enjoying a direct communion with HIM, which is very true.  

5. Picture the scene of the Last Day when people will be lined up into two groups, one destined for Heaven, and another for Hell, and ask yourself where you would be placed. 

6. Focus your mind on what you are reading in your Prayer and recite simple surahs that you understand their meaning and ponder on the meaning while you recite.  

7. If, despite your best efforts, your mind is still wandering, seek refuge in ALLAH 

8. Pray to ALLAH and beg HIM to grant you true the joy of concentrating on your Prayer and protection against the wanderings of your mind. 

9. Place your eyesight to the one spot where you will be making your sujud while you recite and avoid taking your eyes from that sport. Remember always that you are standing in front of ALLAH the Mighty offering such solah hoping for HIM to accept from you. 

With the above, insyaAllah we can defeat shaiton in offering our solah properly. May ALLAH (Al-Muhaimin, The Protector) protect us from the tricks of shaiton during prayers and forgive us our mistakes. Aameen Ya Mujeeb

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ‏: ‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَدِّي، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ‏: ‏ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏: ‏ مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏: ‏ تَقْوَى اللهِ، وَحُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ، قَالَ‏: ‏ وَمَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ النَّارَ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏: ‏ الأَجْوَفَانِ‏: ‏ الْفَمُ وَالْفَرْجُ‏.‏

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "What is the most frequent reason for someone entering Paradise?" He said, "Taqwa and good character. He was asked, "What is the most frequent reason for people entering the Hellfire?" He replied, "The two empty ones: the mouth and the genitals."
