The Cure for Whispering in the Prayers

Question :

I am afflicted by distractions and thoughts about worldly matters while I am praying, whatever I recite from the Qur'an; what is the cure for this?

Answer:

We advise you first of all to be careful in your approach to prayer, casting aside (Satanic) whispering and talking to oneself. Secondly, you must seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan, from his urgings, his outpourings, his inspiring and understand the meaning of this. Thirdly, you must concentrate your mind and your thoughts on the Verses, remembrance and supplications you are reciting, so that you are occupied with them to the exclusion of other things. Continue to do this, and hopefully the whispering and talking to oneself will leave you. And Allah knows best.
