The Beauty of Islam: Do you get distracted easily when you pray?

serenityandlife:

 

It is easy to get distracted when you are praying salah and reciting a surah, especially if you do not speak Arabic and understand the language. What are some ways that help you to stay focused when you are praying?

One thing that I noticed that helps me to stay focused during my salah is knowing what I am reciting. If you usually recite certain surahs when you are praying, find out what they mean, find out their translation and meaning, and try to remember this. Next time when you pray, try and remember the meaning behind the surah you are reciting. I find that this helps me to stay more focused and not have my mind wandering into other thoughts. I hope I can become better at it iA! What are some other ways that help you focus on your prayers?

  11. syedur said: The salah was meant to be prayed with full understanding of the surahs being recited. What good does it do to recite something you do not understand? It gets much deeper than that.
