, you have received some thoughtful replies already. Just like another brother or sister said, I think we all go through the same, sometimes more than others.

I will kind of repeat much of what has already been said... don't let the waswasu get to you at all. If you end up repeating your salah several times, then you are letting shaytaan accomplish exactly what his accursed self set out to do.

Try to pray the fardh salah in Masjid as much as possible, as that helps greatly as well. I find the masjid to be more of a shaytaan-free zone.

One thing I like to do at times, even if I am praying alone, is to make Adhan before praying. Why? Due to it's effect on shaytaan.

Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Number 0756:

Abu Huraira reported: The Apostle (may peace be upon him) said When the call to prayer is made, Satan runs back and breaks wind so as not to hear the call being made, and when the call is finished. he turns round. When Iqama is proclaimed he turns his back, and when it is finished he turns round to distract a man, saying: Re- member such and such; remember such and such, referring to something the man did not have in his mind, with the result that he does not know how much he has prayed. So, since Adhan makes shaytaan run, , it certainly helps to make Adhaan before salaah. You don't have to do it in a loud voice for the entire house to hear if you don't feel comfortable doing so, but just doing so in your own room or wherever you are praying, in a low voice will suffice.

The bottom line is... seek refuge in Allah from satan the accursed, make wudhu, make salat, make it once and try your sincere best to make it right. Do not repeat your salaah over and over.

"Allah intends for you ease, and does not want to make things difficult for you" [2:185]

"Allah does not want to place you in difficulty" [5:6].

Such easiness is well explained in the hadeeth reported by Abu Hurairah, radiya Allahu 'anhu, that the Prophet, salla Allaahu 'alaihe wasallam, said, "Religion is easy..." [Bukhari], he also said; "The best of your religion, is the easiest." [Ahmad] What you are currently doing is placing yourself in difficulty. Allah does not wish so as He has clearly told us in the Quran.

Also, make dua and beg Allah to rid of you shaytaans waswasu during salah and all the time, and He will help you.

The true test is to stick through times like this and make it out on the other side, stronger than before, .
