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. What occupies you in salah, is what occupies you outside of salah. Try to fill your mind and heart with Allah as much as you can throughout your day. Talk to Him, make duaa to Him constantly. This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.
Yasmin MogahedThere's a time for words and a time for silence. If you're listening, you'll hear the difference.
Yasmin MogahedGod tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that Iโm not here to please men with my body; Iโm here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a womanโs body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
Yasmin MogahedPeople think it's the mind that drives us. It is the heart. The mind is a slave to the heart. So check the condition of the heart.
