COMPONENT OF ISLAMIC BELIEF. IT IS OBLIGATORY UPON EVERY
MUSLIM TO PERFORM NAMAZ REGULARLY FIVE TIMES IN A DAY AND
REPRESENT HIS OR HER SUBMISSIVENESS TO ALLAH ALMIGHTY BY
PROSTRATING (SAJDA) IN FRONT OF HIM ON A REGULAR BASIS. THUS,
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NAMAZ CAN NOT BE DENIED IN ISLAM.
And, in this post, we will chiefly discuss the major prerequisites of
performing namaz in addition to few tips that can assist in improving
concentration during the namaz.

Main Pre-Requisites:
Pertaining to namaz, there
are particular requisites
that have to be fulfilled in
order for the namaz to be
complete and truthfully
offered. The lines below
discuss the chief requisites
that require to be fulfilled
for offering the namaz in
the right way.
Intention:

The first requisite required for performing a namaz is niyyat (intention). In order to
perform namaz, a Muslim needs to have the niyyat (intention) of performing namaz.
Without the intentions of performing namaz, all the prostrations and actions are just
postures and they don’t carry any religious benefit.

Purification :

For performing namaz, the most important thing that is required above all is
purification. This purification needs to be there on both physical and spiritual levels.
Hence, before performing namaz a person should perform ablution (wuzu) to make
sure that he or she is void of any physical dirtiness and the body and garments are
free from any type of impure substance that make the namaz void. Other than that, a
person should be true in hearing that he or she is going to perform this namaz
for ALLAH Almighty.
Being Sensible :

The third requisite for performing namaz is being mature and sane. namaz means praising
ALLAH Almighty and showing submissiveness to Him, hence, in order to perform acts namaz, a
person also needs to be sensible and mature.

Facing Qibla :

The 4rth requisite of offering namaz is facing towards Qibla. For a Muslim it is very important to
face towards Holy Kaaba when performing namaz.

Body Being correctly Covered :

The 5th element that needs to be ensured before performing namaz is making confident that the
body is correctly covered. The covering of body refers to the compulsory areas, which need to be
covered in any situation. In this regard,
ALLAH Almighty says in verse 7:31 of Holy Quran:
O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid,
and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.
Adornment here refers to the essential parts of the body that necessitate to be
covered. Hence, before performing namaz or salah the body needs to be completely
covered in the ways suggested by Islam.

Improving Concentration When performing Your Prayers Pertaining to namaz, one

of the biggest issues faced by maximum of people is that they are not capable to
concentrate properly during the namaz. As humans, living a life of worry it is pretty
natural that different types of thoughts come to the mind during the namaz. Though,
a busy or confused life is no excuse for not concentrating correctly, rather a Muslim
must try to suppress these thoughts and distract the concentration towards namaz in
order to be properly and attentively fulfil its reason and stand in the court of ALLAH
Almighty. The lines give few effective tips concerning to increase concentration
during namaz and saying it with more focus and attention.
Protect Your Thoughts During The Whole Day:

It happens seldom or it is quite hard that you

have an on and off button for thoughts which you can turn off during the namaz. Rather,
you will have to teach your mind to control the thoughts by practicing it all through the
day. In this view, if the entire days you try focusing on praising ALLAH Almighty, then
chances are that during the namaz you will also have the similar pure and worshiping
thoughts. Hence, instead of being coercive on your mind during the namaz, you must try
practicing control throughout the whole day.

Remember Holy Place:

Another efficient way of increasing your concentration during

namaz is to remember some holy place you have been to earlier in your life. In this view,
if you have performed Umrah or Hajj, then recollecting those memories can assist a
huge deal. You can remember the feelings you had at that period and the way your heart
submitted to ALLAH Almighty, and then again bring those feelings on yourself during the
namaz. This way you will have the similar feeling and same concentration during the
namaz.
Start Preparing During Wudu

Instead of only forcing your mind to imagine the way you want it to think at beginning of the namaz,
a smart trick could be to start preparing your mind in the ablution or Wudu session. When you are
performing ablution, you have to start thinking that you are preparing to stand in the court of
ALLAH Almighty. Therefore, when you begin preparing yourself at the time of ablution or Wudu, by
the time you stand for the namaz, your brain is already into the thoughts of submitting to ALLAH
Almighty, which then reflects during the namaz.

Learn The Meanings

If nothing works for you regarding to concentrating during the namaz, the one thing that can work
with efficiency is concentrating on the meanings of the recitation you perform in the namaz. You
have to recite a precise set of Arabic supplications and text from Holy Quran during every Rakaat.
When your mind does not manage the thoughts then the most excellent way is to divert them
towards the meaning of the Arabic text.
