How to concentrate while doing terawih?

Question

sometimes i would go to mosque joining the others terawih.

I always do 8 rakaats, and at times i feel soo sleepy and my mind are not concentrated to my prayers. What should i do to be more khusyu'?

Answer 1

Well I would ask to lead the prayer; because otherwise, you get bored after half an hour.

But you can always remember the blessings & rewards you will receive for performing taraweeh.

Answer 2

I think you should do yoga. It sounds stupid & weird but it helps you. And before doing terawih read quran. It might help...__x

Answer 3

النفس لها إدبار ولها إقبال ، فإذا أقبلت فاحملوها على النوافل ، وإذا أدبرت فاحملوها على الفرائض"  

Answer 4

read the translation before u go. They usually do one chapter a day...sometimes less..sometimes more.  

Memorize key arabic words and its meaning to remember where in the Quran is the imam at.  This will keep your mind busy and focused

Answer 5

For me this really works:

*Not to over eat

*Always reflect that Allah (swt) is watching you

*Praying like it is my last prayer

*Keep your eyes focused on the place of sujuud. This helps you gain more concentration.

*Recite the Qur’an slowly and reflect upon its meaning deeply.
