How to concentrate in Salaah

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: How to stop thoughts coming to your mind while praying? What is the best way to concentrate in namaaz?

Bismillaah

A: You may engage your mind in another thought. For example, Allah is watching you. The thought has to be refreshed all the time as it may fade away or alternately you may think that this is your last namaaz and thereafter you are going to be standing before Allah Ta`ala for your reckoning. Alternately you could imagine the Ka`bah before you and the special blessings of Allah Ta`ala descending upon the Ka`bah.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

حـٰفِظوا عَلَى الصَّلَوٰتِ وَالصَّلوٰةِ الوُسطىٰ وَقوموا لِلَّـهِ قـٰنِتينَ ﴿البقرة: ٢٣٨﴾

(رأى رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – رجلاً يعبث بلحيته في الصلاة فقال لو خشع قلب هذا لخشعت جوارحه) قال العراقي: رواه الحكيم الترمذي في النوادر من حديث أبي هريرة بسند ضعيف والمعروف أنه من قول سعيد بن المسيب رواه ابن أبي شيبة في المصنف وفيه رجل لم يسم اهـ. (تخريج أحاديث إحياء علوم الدين #388)
