Salaah is supposed to train us spiritually to control what we say and what we do. Allah says, regarding salaah:
“Indeed, Salah prohibits immorality and wrongdoing”[Noble Qur'an 29:45]
These are the words of Allah, but if salaah is not preventing that, then it means that we are not making the salaah as prescribed. Salaah should be done properly not only internally but externally also.

The best status of those who worship Allah is: “To worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, He sees you.” Al-Haafiz Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), explaining what is meant by ihsaan, “to worship Allah as if you see Him” indicate that the slaves should worship Allah in this manner, which is trying to feel His closeness and that He is before him. This requires one to be filled with fear, awe and veneration, as it says in the report narrated by Abu Hurayrah: “to fear Allah as if you see Him.” [This version was narrated by Muslim (101)]. That will also lead to being sincere in worship and striving one’s utmost to improve it and perfect it.

Moreover, in order to have our prayers accepted, it's important that we pray with khushoo (proper focus and humility) which is the essence of prayer. Prayer without khushoo is like a body without a soul. Please read & share: http://blog.islamiconlineuniversity.com/khushoo-in-salah/ (Admin team)
