Distractions

"There are two kinds of distraction: those which come through the senses, including the hearing and vision, which are dispelled through seculsion, and, secondly, those which arise from the whisperings of the ego [nafs], which distract the heart with various insinuations and passing thoughts, which are dispelled by ignoring them and keeping the heart occupied, either by echoing in the heart the same word that the mouth is uttering, whether it be Qur'an or invocation, or by listening to and hearing what proceeds from the mouth."
pg 21 of "Gifts for the Seekers" by Imam al-Haddad


May Allah (swt) rid our bodies and hearts of distractions.

"Verily, in the Remembrance of Allah do hearts find tranquility."
