You need 4 things 1.knowledge 2.love 3.akhlaaq 4.nawafil (other than fariaz)
INTENTION- intention should be to surrender totally to divine will and to gain Allah’s pleasure/raza(with affirmation from heart). Will, the act and the power, is solely from Allah.
just ignore waswasa/bad thoughts when they arise at the first instance itself.dont disclose it to others keep secreat your ibadah .dont show off.Be in wadhu everytime and fight against nafs/ego/ carnal desires . be away from the world except for genuine needs. display good manners.
keep reciting sunnah suplications/dua like for eating,drinking,sleeping ,awakeing,sneezing ,going to toilet,going to market etc. atleast say bismillah before starting any act.Follow sunnah and keep patience.best ibadah is 5times namaz with jamaat( if you miss jamaat make sure you offer it immediately or atleast cover up with qaza )

Each Act or Tasbih or Du’a should begin and terminate with the recital of Durood Shareef and one who wishes for the acceptance of his Du’as should use the Wasila of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ﷺ.
If some spiritual condition occurs in your heart or some amazing knowledge enters the heart, don’t get excited our aim is to gain Allah’s raza/pleasure (ignore the fantacies) have trust in Allah and present your needs to Him only. Request Allah to grant you steadfastness on the Deen.

Spiritual namaz/salah
Pre requisities—-Offer darood o salam and then start the prayer. Keep in mind your speaking to Allah with love .Maintain calmness till you feel at ease at all levels of namaz/salah. say the niyyat. when you say Allahu akber and annihilate(fana) yourself .
while standing -one should be in the consciousness of being at the presence of Allah.focus your attention near the area of sajdah. do not care about them distractions/waswasas and pay attention to the meanings of the words.Humble yourself before Allah as a slave with love .
Qir’at – keeping the meanings in mind, recite the Holy Qur’an with extreme reverence(adab) , humbleness ,clearly and with fear . to recite it in such a way that the reciter can hear it.
In ruku person must praise Allah with humility. When begins to rise back into a standing position he should be aware that Allah hears the supplication “Allah hears those who praise Him” (Sami-Allahu liman hamidah). In ruku, straighten the back horizontally to the ground with the head in line, and the fingers holding the knees must be spread apart. focus your attention between your feet while in ruku.
while prostration (sajda)- require a person to feel close to Allah. nose and forehead must touch the ground. Let the feet be firmly grounded . focus your attention on the bridge of the nose during Sajdah.
Tashhud or witnessing is assertion of complete faith and love for Allah. focus your attention on the lap in Jalsah. While conveying salam on rasoolAllah ﷺ and on saleheen make sure its with love and adab .making the profession of faith/shahadah with concentration. reciting darood e Ibrahim with love and adab. yearning for the acceptance of dua .
Salaam or ending salutation of the prayer is turning away from worldly attractions towards Allah. focus your attention on the shoulders when making Salaam.
Hope that Allah will accept the ibadah by His mercy, and fear that it may reject it because of the shortcomings of my deeds.
When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
Make sure you forward this to others .
