“Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what You have made easy. If You wish, You can make the difficult easy.”
This is a good dua for anyone who wants to find it easy to improve the quality of their Salah, and for anyone who struggles to even establish the daily prayer at all. So before we start on the road to performing more meaningful prayers, we should seek the help of Allah (swt).
2. Plan Your Day Around Salah
A lot of us already have a ritual for our day. But how many times do we make sure that our daily rituals and activities revolve around Salah and not the other way round?
When you wake up at the crack of dawn, you know how many minutes you have to get ready for work or school. You plan your commute so that you are not late, and you schedule social activities around your work hours.
What if your day was broken into five parts, with each Salah as the pillar? And then you structure your day such that whatever you are doing does not clash with the time of Salah.
One of the things that affect the quality of our Salah is that we have filled up our days with so many activities, such that when it is time for Salah, we just want to quickly pray and get back to our other activities.
Meaningful prayer requires proper planning. We need to carve out the times of prayer and treat them as sacred the way we would treat our resumption time at the workplace.
