I have struggled with this for a while now, I used to be more regular namazi when I was in my teens than I am now.

Please share your experience and thoughts on how to wardoff the shetaan and pray regularly.

Its been couple months now that I got irregular again, before that I was ok for sometime and was doing namaz regularly.

Thanks.

Re: how to become regular in namaz

sometimes when i used to miss namaz or call that shaitaan was distracting me...i used to think of it as oh no if i am not gonna pray then god will punish me and my some work wont be done. now allhumdillah i am much more regular than before. the best way is to to psychologically tell your self everyday yes i am goign to read namaz and god will reward me for it.

AOA WRWB
Most scholars recommend that you make it a point to hang out with people who pray regularly and are watchful of their prayers. Try visiting the islamic center near you more specially the one that is occupied and frequented more then 1 that may be close but few people attend it.
Allah swt has made us so that when we hang around (acquire the companionship) those who have a certain habit, we generally become engaged in that same habit.

Also another good thing is to make praying Salah (Namaz) a habit that you thrive on...like coffee, video games..start thinking about all the positive things that happen to you after you stop and pray - and all the bad things that happen to you when you miss or delay your prayers...It will help you start relying on Namaz (salah) and inshallah it will become something that you hate to miss even if it is not a fard salah.
May Allah swt make your eagerness a cause of your success (ameen)!

Dosa, one thing that really helped me is that I make sure that I am always in Wuzoo. To be honest, its not the namaz but for most of the part the thought of doing wuzoo demotivate us.

Try to refresh your wuzoo every time you break it and you will find out that doing namaz becomes so easy.

sir make those freinds who are regular in prayers attend Islamic Gatherings try to read Hadits on benfits of namaz and on the azab which will be given on leaving namaz and finally visit grave yard not talking about mazars but grave yard and remind yourself of biggest Reality Death

I find that it's a self-reinforcing cycle. The more regular you are in namaz, the easier it is to stay regular. Try and go for 3 straight days with doing all of your namaazes. You'll find that the 4th day will be easier than either of those 3.

Reward yourself in some way every time you pray Namaz , that will motivate you.

i kind of think the way blessed2006 does, that if i miss my prayers then God will punish me in some way,, like bad test results or something in that line :Dand it helps me alot, and also i try and do wudhi whenever i need to, like TLK said

I got a friend to text me at each namaz time, then i would reply with whether i ha prayed or not :D its worked so far

Re: how to become regular in namaz

TLK is right about being in wazoo most of the time really helps. thats one.

2nd thing which has worked for me is whenever its prayer time and i feel lazy, i think okay if i miss this namaaz, whats the reason i have? when Allah will ask me on that day, that why did i miss this prayer, do i have a satisfactory reason to give him? Usually i dont, so i get up and at least say the Faraz if in case cant read the whole.

3rd thing, i had read it somewhere long long back, in some hadiths i guess, that if u do anything for 40 days regularly, that thing ll become like a habit. So it was advised that even in namaz case, if u want to make it ur habit, say all the prayers regularly for 40 days, n inshAllah after that it ll become hard for u to miss it deliberately.

best of luck :k:
