Means of Humility in Prayer and Expelling the Whispers of Satan

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. She says: Shaykh Salih, praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I am very close to Allah and I maintain all the prayers, praise be to Allah, at their times. But when I start the prayer, some thoughts come to me. Sometimes I think of things that do not cross my mind except during the prayer. This worries me and makes me dissatisfied with my prayer. Sometimes I raise my voice in my prayer so that I understand what I am saying and get out of these thoughts, but to no avail. I ask for your advice, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
You must seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan after the takbir of ihram and after the opening supplication, with presence of heart and the intention of seeking refuge in Allah from the schemes of Satan. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, protects the one who seeks His protection. You must also bring to mind the greatness of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, because you are standing before Him in prayer. This keeps the whispers and thoughts outside of prayer away from you. So you must try to bring your heart to presence in the prayer, bring to mind the greatness of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and reflect on the Qur'an that you are reciting in the prayer. This will keep Satan away from you. Do not be discouraged, and do not despair of these whispers going away, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
