~How to attain 'Al-Khushoo' in Our Prayers ~[ *In Shaa Allah* ]
How is it possible for us to gain 'Al-Khushoo' (Humility ) in and outside of the
prayer and during recitation of the 'Qur`an' ?
Allah {Azza Wa Jall}~says....'The Believers will prosper.
Those who have 'Khushoo' within their prayers'.
[Source~ 'Qur`an'~ Surat Al Mu'minoon 23: A # 1-2]
'Al-Khushoo' is the essence and core of the prayer... !
And it means the presence and attendance of the Heart !
And that the heart of the person who is praying does not wander left and right.
However . if the person senses something that will divert him
away from (this) Al-Khushoo' then he must seek refuge with Allah from the
outcast 'shaytaan' just as the *Prophet*...[Sallahu `Alayhi Wasallam ]instructed us to do !
And there is no doubt that the 'shaytaan' is extremely persevering upon spoiling all acts
of worship especially the 'Salah' which is the most superior act of worship after the two Testimonies.
Thus, the 'shaytaan' comes to the 'Musalli' (praying individual) and says ...or whispers
'Remember this and that'.and he causes him to indulge in thoughts and ideas that are of no benefit and which leave his head as soon as he concludes from the prayer...{!}
Therefore it is upon a person that he strives with the..utmost ambition to devote himself towards Allaah the Mighty and Majestic {!}and if he feels anything from these misgivings and devilish insinuations
to seek refuge with Allaah from the Outcast 'shaytaan' whether he is Raki' (bowing), in the 'Tashahhud', sitting, or standing or in any position from his prayer...!
Lastly from the greatest means that will aid one in attaining Al-Khushoo' in the prayer
is ..that he Visualizes himself standing in front of Allaah and that he is confiding in
his Lord ALLAAH {Subhanahu wa Ta` ala.}{'In Shaa Allah'}
