What is the solution for someone whose mind wanders during prayer and who feels death approaching while prostrating?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Muslim should pay attention and focus in prayer, contemplating what he recites of the Quran and adhkar, mindful of Allah Almighty's promise to those who humble themselves, for he will only receive from his prayer what he comprehends. The feeling of death during prostration might be from the whispers of Satan. Therefore, she should maintain purity, recite adhkar, increase supplication and seeking refuge (with Allah), while also consulting doctors, as it might be an organic or psychological illness.
