Ways to Overcome Whispers in Prayer

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A listener says: Alif 'Ayn Sulayman asks and says: When I begin the prayer, whispers take hold of me, I think a lot, and worries constantly come to me. How can I avoid this and pray with khushu' (humility) before Allah the Exalted? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Seeking refuge in Allah from Satan at the beginning of the prayer, after the opening supplication. If a person seeks refuge in his Lord and says, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, from his whispering, his blowing, and his spitting," with the presence of the heart, then Allah will protect him from Satan. Also, bringing the heart to the scene, bringing to mind the greatness of the Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, before whom you are standing. Reflect on this and that you are standing before your Lord, and that you are conversing with your Lord, Mighty and Majestic. At that time, humility and reverence for Allah will be present with you. Thirdly, reflect on the Qur'an that you recite in the prayer, or that you hear from the imam. Reflect on it; for reflecting on the Qur'an brings humility.
