What is the ruling regarding sending salutation upon the Prophet (saw) when the khateeb says ‘Muhammad (saw)’ during the Friday khutbah? Should I say it aloud too as I would normally or should I remain quiet and say it in my heart?

You should say it quietly in your heart.

Please convince me I’m going to Jannah. Please, give me some encouragement. I’m a very emotional man and I deeply care about what Allah thinks of me. It’s just that when I pray, nothing happens. I know you told me what to do but it’s not easy. Before, I barely knew what I said in Salah, and I didn’t know much of ALLAH’s name but I had better khushoo months ago than I do now. Currently, I know what I say in Salah but it feels like that decreased my khushoo. You told me to pray more Salah to make up for short comings in Fard Salah. But if I were to try my hardest in concentration, my Salah would only be 80%. At BEST – Which is rarely the case. Plus, my heart doesn’t incline to Salah so I have to force myself to have khushoo which is hard. I feel jealous of others who WANT to pray.. Unlike me. I’ve made plenty dua for khushoo.

Iman increases with good deeds and decreases with sins! Therefore, what you are suffering from is normal and life is a continuous test! You must struggle and fight to attain Khushu. Some of the Salaf scholars said: I struggled with prayer for 20 years and then enjoyed it for another 20 years!
