assalamualeykum, In farz salah when i qiyam behind imam my mind wondering in sirri salah or third or fourth rakah. what i do.

Answer

(Fatwa: 1333/1069/B=1431)

While offering salah, in the state of Qiyam you should direct your eyes on the place of sajdah, in ruku on upper feet, in sajdah on nose and in Qadah on lap thinking that you are standing in the court of Almighty Allah and He is seeing you. If you develop this practice, in-sha-Allah you shall have Khushu? and Khuzu? in your salah and evil whispers will stop.

نظر المصلي إلى موضع سجوده قائماً و إلى ظاهر القدم راكعاً و إلى أرنبة أنفه ساجداً و إلى حجره جالساً ملاحظاً قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم اعبد الله كأنك تراه فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك فلا يشتغل بسواه . (مراقي الفلاح : 277 كتاب الصلاة)
