Prayer: Recalling Past Spiritual Experiences During Prayer: Does It Affect Validity?

English:

Question #506:

During my prayers I sometimes recall the spiritual heights and elevations that I experienced on the days of confrontation with the infidel Ba‘thist army and this helps me to increase my humility in prayers; does doing so invalidate the prayers?

Answer #506:

It does not harm the validity of the prayer.
