How should one pray? What should we pay attention to when praying?

Prayer, or dua, is the act of turning to Allah with one's entire being and presenting both material and spiritual requests to Him. It is also a form of remembrance (dhikr) and worship. So, what is the significance of prayer? How should one pray? What should we pay attention to when praying? What prayers did our Prophet make? What are the manners and etiquettes of prayer? The dictionary definition of dua is 'to call, to invoke, to request, to seek help.' As a religious term, it means turning to Allah with all one's being and presenting material and spiritual requests to Him. Since its essence is for a person to present their state to Allah and supplicate to Him, prayer is a connection between Allah and the servant. Prayer always contains the meaning of tazim (glorifying Allah) and requesting something along with tazim. Prayer is also remembrance and worship. Thus, in prayer, there are always two elements side by side: remembrance and respect, as well as a request. For this reason, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Prayer is the essence of worship' (Tirmidhi, Deavat, 2). For the same reason, the most important worship, the prayer (salah), is expressed with the word dua (En'am, 6/52; Kahf, 18/28). In another verse, it is stated, 'Say, 'What would my Lord care for you if not for your supplication?'' (Furqan, 25/77), indicating that a person's value comes from this orientation towards Allah. The emphasis is placed on directing prayer solely to Allah; not to idols or other creatures attributed with superior qualities (Shuara, 26/213; Qasas, 28/88). HOW SHOULD PRAYER BE PERFORMED?
