Here are a few things you can do to help you concentrate during Tarawih prayers and other prayers also if you don’t understand Arabic. 1. Read a translation of what the imam reads beforehand so you will have an idea of what is going to be read. 2. Any words that you do understand, focus on those words and reflect upon them. There are always words every Muslim will know, so when you hear these words, reflect upon them. When you here Allah, think of the greatness of Allah, when you hear Jannah think of the pleasures of Paradise and ask Allah for it. When you hear Jahanam, think about the suffering of the people in the hellfire and seek refuge from Allah from it. Do this with all the words you know. 3. Carry with you an index card and a pen. When you hear a word that is repeated often or gets your attention, after the salams (not during prayer) write the word down and then ask someone or look up the meaning of the word. If you do this consistently your understanding will improve with each prayer. Memorize those words everyday. For each prayer that the imam reads aloud, try to get at least one word. 4. Stand up to pray each prayer as if it were your final prayer.
