Recommended prayers

Strategies to enhance focus during Salah include creating an environment conducive to worship, setting aside moments free from interruptions, and engaging in pre-prayer mindfulness techniques. Each of these steps enables a more profound connection with the Divine while reinforcing the importance of intentionality within one’s spiritual practice.

**Recommended Supplications and Additional Prayers**

While the five daily prayers form the bedrock of Salah, Shia teachings encourage a broader engagement with supplications (duas) and additional prayers. These augment the daily rituals and cater to the varied dimensions of human experience. Among the most notable are the duas of Kumayl, which infuse one’s heart with humility and seek forgiveness. This particular supplication, originating from the teachings of Imam Ali, invokes a deep sense of mercy and serves as a reminder of one’s humanity, offering solace in moments of despair.
