Do you ever find your mind wandering during Salah? I used to pray regularly when I was younger, fell off a bit over the last few years and am trying to get back to it.

I treat it like meditation. I’m a classic over thinker haha, but every time I start thinking about other things during namaz, I just mentally remind myself to focus on namaz, even if I have to pause my recitation for a min to do it.

Learn the meaning of the surahs, if possible word-to-word meanings (start with small and popular ones like Ikhlas), you recite during Salah, so you’re aware of your communication to Allah during your prayers. Also attempt to learn new surahs, even 1-2 ayahs a day can be enough (again, start small and memorize the shorter ones first) and throw in some variety in your Salah. It will takes conciliatory effort for you to remember the new ones you’ve learned, especially if Arab isn’t your first language, which will recalibrate your focus back to the prayer InshaAllah. And Allah knows best and may he guide us all ☺️

When I started praying, I kept a pocket calendar and would set small goals for myself, i/e pray one week without missing anything. The hardest part would sometimes be to start. But once I say the initial Allahu Akbar, I know I'll finish the prayer even if I'm a little distracted here and there

Is bank interest riba?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
