Twenty-two Methods of Concentration in Prayers I will now describe how to maintain concentration in S al a t —a lot of people always ask about this and today I shall relate its meth- ods. Some of them will be such that you do employ, but don’t really make use of them, and those who do make use of them must surely be benefiting from them. The fact of the matter is that the Shariah has already estab- lished some rules in S al a t itself in order to maintain concentra- tion, but due to unawareness, most people derive no benefit from them. Apart from these, I will also describe such ways that people are generally not aware of and are not practicing them, although by making use of them, their attention can be maintained in S al a t. Before I start to mention the first type of techniques, I wish to state this much that God Almighty has placed in man a capac- ity that when he is making use of something, and simultaneously he continues to imagine its benefits and believes in it, then he achieves much greater benefit.
