lately i've been thinking lots about my hopes and my dreams. on top of my list for the longest time is to be closer to Allah swt. the way i figure i will be is by being more aware of what i do. to do things out of habit is good to a point. but while praying all the words/actions come to be automatically and my mind wanders. to build up to the point where i'm able to concentrate during the whole time is a constant fight within me. in fact i realize that i wasn't paying attention and make a conscious effort to start focusing on what i'm saying again and by that time its over. this happens multiple times during salat. i don't know how to cure it exactly. it seems to me that the prayer is like a hidden treasure. i know it's there i just can't get to it. i go through what is prescribed but lose in the end. i don't feel it. that's what i don't know how to get back. feeling
