i wanted to ask one question regarding fajr salah. I am currently in Dubai. Here in the mosque where i go, the Imam during the salah after first Rakaah and just before going to the sujood for the second raakah, keeps on standing and makes Dua. After That he goes to the sujood and the Salah is completed. So i wanted to ask you is this permissible in the light of Quran and Sunnah.

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!
