Dear sister it may happen to you becasue sometimes you may think about some dunya problems,like college,studies,wealth etc.
My advice for you will be that before a prayer you prepear your selfe not only to make a wuduh but also that you rest your mind or soul,and to ask of Allah protection.And you should do that before the time of salah.

Inshallah after you feel you are psihiyacly ready than Inshallah go on prayer on its time,:) becasue we need to preform our prayers when it is time for prayer.

I hope Inshallah sister I could advice you on some way.:shymuslima1:

Dedicate an entire area for prayer and dhikr in your room...

This helps *a lot*..I PROMISE!..pick a nice clean area in your room..facing the qibla..put a simple rug to "designate" its "borders"..put your prayer rug..mahram..Qura'an..tafsir..misbaha..etc. neatly on a little shelf or two..and a little pillow to lean your back on when you sit to read or make dhikr..and don't do ANYTHING in that area EXCEPT PRAY..READ OR LISTEN TO THE QURA'AN AND MAKE DHIKR..N-O-T-H-I-N-G else!..

I know it sounds like a "decorating scheme"..but TRUST ME..when you do that..the place becomes your little sanctuary..and soon your mind begins to *strongly* associate this *small little area* with prayer and dhikr..and so when you sit within it..you practically shut-off from the world beyond its borders..it's like when you sit in a masjid you know all you can do there is WORSHIP so you focus and FOCUS HARD..you'll feel as if you've been *transferred*..I took the tip from a sister who did this and it worked wonderfully for her..she was lucky to move to a bigger house however..and later dedicated *an entire room* in her house for this purpose..she even put together a small library of Islamic books and a small stereo to listen to the Qura'an when she wants to be alone and what not..very wonderful decision..I tell you :)

Also..before salat..sit down..read some Qura'an..and/or do some dhikr (choose what you please)..it helps you get in the spirit of salat..as you will gather your concentration and soften your heart..and try to finish your duties or chores (the best you can) before you go into prayer so you don't remain *preoccupied* with finishing them or beginning them

Inshallah these suggestions will help

Assalamualaikum,

I myself is facing this problem these days, though, frankly speeking, i am not a regular 'panch waqta namazi'. but i can understand. it is not so serious thing, rather, i must say, is natural, depends upon one's mental condition at a particular time. Anxieties of daily life is the most natural cause. The best you can do is to offer your best. Try your best and leave rest upon Allah. He undestands you better then you. Moreover, concentration in prayers or in any other field also depends upon the 'very nature' of a particular person. People are of different shades and colors. Some grasps things quickly, some takes very long time despite complete honesty on their part. So be honest to yourself, try to give your best and go ahead. ( I apologise for my english that is not upto the standard)
Good Luck.
Salaaam.

:salam: SISTER SAIMA,
even the companions of our beloved prophet had this problem,so in such
cases our prophet recomended them to repeat wazoo and restart the salaat. until they were satisfied. it may be there is any missing point in the (ablution) wazoo. so dear sister try this easiest solution .may allaah helps you and all of us.

Other brothers and sisters has given great advices. So I will add only one thing here which helps me to solve this perticular problem.

When you make ANY prayer, do it as you are doing your last prayer in your life. Try to remember that Malak al-Mawt ('alaihissalam) may take your soul when you are at prostration also.

I also have this problem and this helps me a lot. :)

wassalam 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

i think to dedicate an entire room just for worship and have another room where you sleep in and do what you do but worship it sound like good decision but in the room where your gona sleep and do what you do, in that room there is no worship as all the worship, like praying and reading Qur'an is done in the worship room. this means that no worship is done in the place where you probably spend more time in. that becomes easier for shaytan to enter the room where no worship is done.

How can we take your advise when you admitted you worshipping the satans? I'm sorry I did not mean to insult you but you said that!!!

If you do not intend to insult, do not say it out. Once uttered, it is deliverance of intention.
Stop personal "attacks", we are all here for a common purpose, nasehah each other. Let's maintain politeness and respect each other.
Shalat is not just spiritual. Mind, body(physical) and spirits...not easy but not impossible to become one. Keeping oneself hydrated is preparedness of cooling the body which have a natural effect to calm the nerves. When nerves are relaxed, the heart will not be overworked to supply the oxygen required by the brain and hence the brain will not be subjected to unnecessary stress. I am not a physician and doctor. They will be able to give a clearer explanation. And getting oneself hydrated also has a method, should not take in one go big gulps. Taking liquid in small sips is Sunnah Rasul.

Maybe others might help to elaborate more.

JazakAllah Khair.

I think our minds start thinking of something else when what we are currently doing is boring. So just think of something that would tell you that praying is an exciting thing to do so your mind can keep focus while praying.
