Is salah invalid without khushu? I struggle with extreme waswas in daily life. When I pray knowing I have a time-sensitive task awaiting after salah, my mind wanders and I fear losing wudu (digestion problems). I don’t rush the prayer, but I can’t maintain much focus or concentration.

The salah is correct may Allah protect us and you ameen.
