It was narrated from Malik bin Al-Huwairith that: He saw the Prophet ﷺ raise his hands when praying, when he bowed, when he raised his head from bowing, when he prostrated and when he raised his head from prostrating, until they were in level with the top part of his ears.
When praying, it is important to focus on what you are saying and feeling in your heart rather than just going through the motions mechanically. We must be mindful of our words and actions so that they reflect our true intentions towards Allah. Additionally, it is important to remember that prayer can be done anywhere at any time; it does not have to be done in a mosque or at certain times throughout the day or night.
