Praying to Allah in one’s mind

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

If i pray to allah in mind in salat Assalamu alikum.is it will cause any harm to my salat if i pray to allah in mind in salat ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

When you perform salaat by yourself, you must read so loudly that at least you can hear yourself. If you read only in your mind, the salaat will be invalid.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
