How can I bring more focus into my salah?

Assalamu alaikum, I've been praying my five daily prayers and some extra ones (not showing off, just saying). But I often feel like my mind isn't fully there, and sometimes I catch myself speeding through the salah. Even though I finish the fardh, right after salam I get this scary thought: "Was my prayer even valid? Did Allah accept it? Should I re-do it?" It's really bothering me. Any tips on how to improve my khushoo and stop these doubts?

Bro, same here. I once read that just worrying about khushoo shows your heart is alive. Recite slowly and focus on the meaning, it helps.

Try praying a bit before the adhan. Sit and do dhikr, then pray. It's like warming up your heart before the match, you know?

I had these doubts too. A shaykh told me: if you did the pillars, it's valid in sha Allah. Fight the waswas and don't repeat it.

Honestly, learning Arabic little by little made a huge difference for me. When I know what I’m saying, my mind stays with it.
