They say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately.

That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.

So often it hurts us that we are not able to focus in our prayers. Remember, the more you focus on Allah outside your salah, the easier it will be to focus on Him inside your salah.

This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.
