How to concentrate when reciting Qur'an?
Question
1) Can you please advise me on how to concentrate whilst reading Quran? When I do my dhor I do not know what to concentrate on and my mind wonders.
2) Can you also advise me on how to gain khushoo in my Salaah.
Answer
1. Concentrate on the words that you are reciting.
2. As above.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
