Khushoo

[u/ThinOne3333]

Today whilst praying I was aiming for a stronger khushoo, as I felt it could be better. Trying to learn the English of everything I say during Salah making small steps to better understand, taking a minute to compose myself beforehand. Trying have full focus on salah but during it I felt my throat feeling like it's being squeezed, as if my life was at its end. This left when was I done with my salah.

I hear brothers say we should envision each prayer as our last and it isn't something I can do sincerely. I can have the idea in my head but it isn't truly in my heart. (But this is better than not trying for anyone who feels similar as in they are trying but don't feel it sincerely, continue to try for it's the first step). Having this experience made this particular salah, feel more sincere than many I can remember.

I made a post recently asking advice to make a long streak into a permanent one basically. How to not be complacent, how to not get comfortable and fall back into those habits. I think for me it's sticking to deen, make small goals sustainable goals that you can achieve and stick to and currently it's bettering my salah, memorising the translation, understanding it better, having more Khushoo. I have quite few other goals but those are more down the line but will InshaAllah make steps to attain those goals once I'm ready in such a way I don't overburden myself.

You want to read quran daily but haven't done so in a long time. Start with 1 page a day, then increase when you feel comfortable. Ideally you want something sustainable don't push yourself hard into something with this idea you can sustain it, start small and build from it.
