Finding My Calm in Prayer
As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed lately and could really use some encouragement from the community. Lately, I've been focusing on growing in my deen and drawing closer to Allah. One thing I've realized is that I tend to rush through everything-even my salah. This rush makes my prayers feel hurried and I struggle to find that deep focus, that khushu, I'm aiming for. What I'm hoping for is to learn how to slow down, make my salah more meaningful, and build a stronger iman. I also want to get better at helping others purely for Allah's pleasure, without any expectation of reward. If you have any advice, du'a, or tips that have helped you in your own journey, I'd be so grateful to hear them. Jazakum Allahu khairan.
