Fighting Away Distraction In The Salah


Question

My question is that when I am in prayer various thoughts come to my mind and disturb me. How can I pray with concentration?

Answer

This happens to all the humans. No one can claim to have attained complete freedom from this human element. That is why we are not accountable for such thoughts. We need to try to bring our mind back to the worship. The best way to fight these distractions is to concentrate on the meaning of the recitations in the Prayer. It would be even more helpful if one tries try to recite only those surahs the meaning of which he knows. One must also learn the meaning of what is routinely recited in the prayer.
