I find it difficult to concentrate during Salaat.

Question

I find it difficult to concentrate during Salaat. Too many stray thoughts disturb me. How can I rid myself of such thoughts?

Answer

Everyone finds it difficult to concentrate during the Salaat. The primary cause for this is our lifestyle. The eyes, tongue, ears and the body are generally not guarded against evil. Looking at females, talking futility and sin, listening to gheebat, etc., cellphone/ facebook addiction, consuming mushtabah and haraam food and many other acts of our daily life pollute our brains and minds. One should thus not expect a good concentration in Salaat. Improve on your piety and Thikrullah, then, Insha-Allah, the incidence of shaitaani wasaawis in Salaat will decrease, and concentration will improve.
