Turn fully toward Allah

The heart’s full turning toward Allah is central to Salah. As the body faces the qiblah, the heart should seek Him rather than remain occupied with other concerns. Iḥsan is to worship with awareness of Allah as though seeing Him, knowing that He sees you. This is awareness, not a physical picture of Him.

Bring together humility, love, reverence, need and attention. Let the next phrase become your immediate act of worship; do not wait for a perfect state before beginning.

When distracted, turn again. Each return is a practical renewal of the intention to worship. After prayer, protect the same awareness in your choices and relationships so that inner devotion and daily conduct support one another.
