Like your bodies are important to be cleaned, your souls too should be clean! If the soul comes out of the body, then the body turns to be useless! That is why our soul should be clean! Our soul's status can make a lot of differences in our prayers! If your soul is clean,then you will automatically fall in love with your prayers, and you can easily then focus on them! There are some ideas, of how to keep your soul clean:
Follow The Basic Pillars Of Islam:
Prayer,Fasting,Charity,hajj
And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].(2:43)
And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah ](2:45)
Oh you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you many learn piety and righteousness" ( 2:183)
O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the monks devour the wealth of people unjustly and avert [them] from the way of Allah . And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah - give them tidings of a painful punishment.The Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell and seared therewith will be their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, [it will be said], "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard."(9:34-35)
Hajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj. And whatever good you do - Allah knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allah . And fear Me, O you of understanding.(2:197)
In it are clear signs [such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe. And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves - then indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds.(3:97)
And [mention] when We made the House a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], "Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."(2:125)
Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah . So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing(2:158)
Pray at time, and make sure you're completely cleaned for it, do Wudhoo.
O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles.(5:6)
Take Care Of Your Purity:
And your clothing purify(74:4)
Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.(2:222)
And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.(5:6)
Ask Help Only From Allah:
And do not invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.(10:106-107)
If you're worried, or in some kind of tensions, then ask for help to Allah, and be patient.
O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.(2:153)
And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah ].(2:45)
The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of Allah ], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.(3:17)
If you have commited any sin, then repent, and promise yourself, you wont repeat it.
And he who repents and does righteousness does indeed turn to Allah with [accepted] repentance(25:71)
But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.(7:153)
But as for him who repented (from polytheism and sins), believed (in the Oneness of Allâh, and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW), and did righteous deeds (in the life of this world), then he will be among those who are successful.(28:67)
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.(2:54)
Keep thanking Allah:
Then is He who creates like one who does not create? So will you not be reminded?And if you should count the favors of Allah , you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.(16:17-18)
So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.(2:152)
And if you are grateful, He approves it for you(39:7)
Do Dhikr:
The Messenger of Allah (salallahu alaihe wasallam) said, "Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions which are the purest to your Rubb, which exalt you to the high ranks, which are more efficacious than spending gold and silver (in charity), and better for you than you should encounter your enemies whom you will smite their necks and they will smite your necks?" They said, "Certainly." He (salallahu alaihe wasallam) said, "Remembrance of Allah the Exalted.[At-Tirmidhi].
Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.(13:28)
Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah . That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide.(39:23)
O you who have believed, when you encounter a company [from the enemy forces], stand firm and remember Allah much that you may be successful.(8:45)
Keep Reciting Durood e Ibrahim:
Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace.(33:56)
Indeed, We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner.That you [people] may believe in Allah and His Messenger and honor him and respect the Prophet and exalt Allah morning and afternoon.(48:8-9)
Keep Recting 99 Names of Allah:
Believe in the 99 names of Allah, read them,memorize them and apply their importance in your life.
He is Allah , the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.(59:24)
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.(7:180)
Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.(20:8)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (salallahu alaihe wasallam) said, "Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise." (Sahih-Al Bukhari)
The 99 names of Allah, and Durood e Ibrahim, can make a way for you to Jannah (Heaven) That's why, keep reciting them!
If you want a permanent home in Jannah, so keep reciting Laa'Ilaaha'Il'Allah (there is no God but Allah) and believe on it, for when you die, this may be your last words, Ameen!
Keep Reciting Astaghfar Prayer:
I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, from every sin I committed knowingly or unknowingly, secretly or openly, and I turn towards Him from the sin that I know and from the sin that I do not know. Certainly You, You (are) the knower of the hidden things and the Concealer (of) the mistakes and the Forgiver (of) the sins. And (there is) no power and no strength except from Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.(Fifth kalma)
Stop commiting sins, as watching tv, for there are forbbiden sounds in it, you may watch Islamic channels, and for worldwide news you may use Internet, so you can be safe from Haram Music!
Protect your private body parts, and protect yourself from the evil eye.
Follow these Instructions that Allah talah has commanded us to follow in fourth and Sixth kalma:
(There is) none worthy of worship except Allah. He is only One. (There is) no partners for Him. For Him (is) the Kingdom. And for Him (is) the Praise. He gives life and acuses death. And He (is) Alive. He will not die, never, ever. Possessor of Majesty and Reverence. In His hand (is) the goodness. And He (is) the goodness. And He (is) on everything powerful. (Fourth Kalma)
O Allah! Certainly I seek protection with You from, that I associate partner with You anything and I know it. And I seek forgiveness from You for that I do not know it. I repended from it and I made myself free from disbelief and polytheism and the falsehood and the back-biting and the innovation and the tell-tales and the bad deeds and the blame and the disobedience, all of them. And I submit and I say (there is) none worthy of worship except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of ALLAH.(Sixth Kalma)
