		<description>Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

&quot;I want to ask anyone reading this…what are your suggestions/advice on how to be constantly mindful of Allah SWT, as to keep your emaan strengthened? Please share…&quot;

Eat sunflower seeds =D 

Nah seriously...as Muslims, we should pray five times a day and many of us do. However, what many of us lack is khushoo in our salaah.

“Verily, As Salaah (the prayer) prevents from Al‑Fahshaa’ (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse) and Al Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed)” [al-‘Ankaboot 29:45]  

“Indeed, he succeeds who purifies his own self [his soul]…”[al-Shams 91:9]  

If we keep our hearts and minds busy wih salaah, dhikr, and other acts of worship, nothing else will be able to occupy them (meaning our hearts and minds). 

But like I said above, we need khushoo in our salaah. Read Shaykh Munajjid&#039;s article on 33 ways to attain Khushoo: http://islam-qa.com/index.php?pg=article&amp;ln=eng&amp;article_id=21

And also:  the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “I love you, O Mu’aadh.” (Mu’aadh said), “And I love you, O Messenger of Allaah.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not forget to say in every prayer, ‘Rabbi a’inni ‘ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ‘ibaadatika (O Allaah, help me to remember You, thank You and worship You properly.).’” (al-Nasaa’i, 1303; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i, 1236). 

We should say that du&#039;aa often inshaAllaah.</description>
