The answer

It is permissible to contemplate in order to achieve focus and humility in prayer, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, there is preoccupation in prayer," provided that the focus is on the place of prostration, and not on anything else, otherwise that would be a distraction from the prayer.
