have you ever?

[muslimah_4ever]

:sl:
Have you ever had some feeling/thought so clear come to you during your salaat?
for example, you had been thinkin of something for some time, but not a lot and not during your salaat. e.g. buying a house. And then during a salaat, when you are so focused, there was a thought of you buying a house.
What does it mean to have clear thoughts during salaat, that are random, even though you are focused on salaat. Is it a sign from Allah (swt) or just our brains playing a game with us?
Jazakallah for any input.

w3laykom assalam
it means we are not focused in salaat i guess
is it the right time to think about buying a house ?!!!!:ermm:<< the shaytan makes us think about those things

[alcurad]

it's only natural, we don't control our thoughts, they come and go. the meaning of prayer is to be a focus for life in general.

Yeah, sometimes I find myself thinking of other things during my prayers. It means I'm not focusing on my prayer like I should

wa fiikum barakaallah.

That's because Rasulullah said "When you're doing Shalat, then remember death, take that as your last Shalat"(Shahih Al Jami' Ash Shaghir).

Would thee think of the world when you know that death will come in the same day?


Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

I used the house as an example, because it is something major.
I know how the feeling is to be distracted during salaat or have wandering thoughts. This was different. There are times I just zone into salaat, almost overwhelmed by it, sometimes Ive started to cry for what seems like no reason, but was because of Allah (swt). This was just a flash of a thought, during a completely focused salaat. I only then thought about it when the salaat was over.
I had done istikharah a few days earlier, for other purposes, but then this happened.
And it wasnt just a thought, it really felt like a sign or something like that.
I hope this clarifies what I mean.
May Allah look after you all.

At Mina to fill our time, one of the hajjah who happen to be a religous teacher told us that there are 5 levels of solah

1. the solah of a person who do not know all hukum (what to do and what to say), what are rukun, what are wajeeb and what are sunnah in solat. this is rejected
2. solah of a person who knows all rukun, but always thinking of something else in their solah, this is also rejected
3. solah of a person who think of something else but sometimes he/she will remember that he/she is performing solah and he/she has to concentrate. he/she tried hard not to think of other than what his/her is doing and remember Allah. like business, he did not get any profit, nor loss.
4. Khusyoo'
5. solat of Rasool

wa fiikum barakaallah, wa 'ilaikas salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

Well, it's because in Heaven, Allahu Ta'ala will give horses which could fly with wings.
