Question and Answers:
Regarding the question that was asked about concentration in salah (namaz), here is a hadith that was referred to:
Uthman b. Abu al-'As reported that he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said:
Allah's Messenger, the Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my reciting of the Qur'an and he confounds me. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:, That is (the doing of a) Satan (devil) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.

Dhikr, plural Adhkar, means remembrance, reminder or mention of God. It is a form of Islamic worship in which phrases or prayers are repeatedly recited for the purpose of remembering God. Several adhkaar have been taught to us which include words that are beloved to Allah SWT and carry a great reward for the person reciting them. These include morning and evening adhkaar and other phrases. Dhikr is uttered through the mouth (Dhikr-e-lisani) and in the heart (Dhikr-e-Qalbi).
The best way to celebrate the remembrance of Allah is to say: La ilaha illa Allah (there is no true god except Allah).
Reciting or learning the Quran, praying salah (namaz), and remembering Allah in our heart at all times - both happy and sad, when feeling successful or at loss - are also forms of Dhikr.

Being a Muslim doesn't mean that we play down the importance of worldly success. Rather it means that we strive for the best of both deen and dunya, dunya and Akhirah, in a way that we strive to please Allah SWT and avoid anything that displeases Him. For example, we do work hard for our grades and careers and relationships and finances and health and knowledge and reputation etc., but we are never defined by the successes in our careers or the lack of it thereof. Our honor always comes from Allah SWT and He is the Owner of all honor!

>>> DAY 22, QUOTE 22 <<<

Food For Thought:
The word (huzn) "sadness" does not appear in the Quran except in the form of forbidding it or in the form of negating it. And the reason for this is because there is no benefit for having sadness in the heart. There’s nothing more beloved to shaytaan than a depressed believer.
