Do you guys imagine stuff while praying or not?

Yes, I sometimes do that as well.

By the way Happy Shobe Miraj to all. Its Shobe Miraj here in Canada.

shab e mairaj is not a decided date, scholars even differ about this, some say it was in ramazan, some say in shaban, some say in Rabi ul awwal etc. Even the year is not known, i've also read in a book by Mufti Taqi uSMANI that hazrat umar(ra) would force the person to break fast on this day.

I imagine a name of Allah written in English and it really helps my concentration alot.[/QUOTE]

oh i never knew that about shab e miraj. Thanks for sharing. Yup good way to concentrate

salaams,

a helpful hadith if shaytaan is distracting you from salah -

Abu'l-'Aas radi Allahu anhu reported that he said, "O Messenger of Allaah, the Shaytaan interrupts me when I pray, and I get confused in my recitation."

The Messenger of Allah sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam said, "That is a shaytaan whose name is Khanzab. If you sense his presence, seek refuge with Allah from him (A'oodhubillahi minash-shaytaan nir-rajeem), and spit [dry] towards your left three times."

Abu'l-'Aas rahi Allahu anhu said, "I did that and Allah took him away from me"

(Sahih Muslim)
