Focus during prayer

  • Link to Pride and self admiration and humility: When standing before god, remember your humble beginnings (sperm drop) and that you carry filth, you produce filth, and you'll become filth when you die
  • Link to Praying: Here are some ways to stay focused during the prayer:
    • Remember that you're the only one benefiting from this ritual. With this thinking, you can focus better on the acts, the words, and their significance.
    • Focus on making different duas in each rak'ah.
    • Understand the meaning of the words recited, which results in glorifying Allah with fear, hope, and humility.
    • Pray like it's your last: Picture that you're going to die right after because it's a possibility, and this prayer might be your last attempt at salvation.
    • Don't make too many sujud ba3di or 9abli.
    • Use the technique of one of the predecessors: Picture that the angel of death is above you, hell on the left, Janna on the right; you are on the bridge; you can see the ka3ba en face, and picture the greatness of the one you are praying to.
summary

Remember your humble origins and pray attentively, focusing on different supplications in each portion of your prayers and envisioning each prayer as if it were your last.
