Al Khushoo Fi-Salat
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem
What does khushoo mean?
Khushoo
means humility or devotion in prayer, we can father define as calmness and
tranquility of the body and attentiveness of the mind, in the salat.



Internal
khushoo means, to be attentive and concentrating what you are doing, and whom
you are talking to, your heart must be free from, anything else except your
prayer, it is not just closing your eyes as many think, closing your eyes while
praying is makrooh, a disliked act, External kushoo is nothing but, praying as the prophet scw has pried,
meaning doing all your ruku’ sujud(prostration), and all other act in the
salat, in accordance with how the prophet scw has did it..

Rulig of khushoo fi-salat
As
scholars said khushoo in salat in compulsory(wajib).
How to
attain khushoo fi-salat
v Striving to gain that which gives and strengthens
khushoo’
This can be achieved in several ways, such as the
following:
v
Preparing
oneself for prayer properly
ü
By
repeating the words of the adhaan after the muezzin
ü By pronouncing the du’aa’ to be recited after the
adhaan
ü
Reciting
du’aa’ between the adhaan and the iqaamah;

ü Doing wudoo’ properly, saying Bismillaah before it
and making dhikr and saying du’aa’ after it,
ü Using siwaak to cleanse and perfume the mouth that
is going to recite Qur’aan in short while, because the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said “Purify your mouths for the Qur’aan.”
ü We should also prepare ourselves by covering our
‘awrah properly, purifying the spot where we are going to pray, getting ready
early and waiting for the prayer, and making the rows straight and solid,
without any gaps, because the shayaateen come in through the gaps in the rows.
v Remembering death whilst praying
v Thinking about the aayaat and adhkaar being recited
during the prayer and interacting with them
v Reciting in slow, rhythmic tones (tarteel) and
making one’s voice beautiful when reciting.
v Praying with a barrier (sutrah) in front of one and
praying close to it
v Looking at the place of prostration
v Seeking refuge with Allaah from the Shaytaan
v Striving to offer du’aa’ at the appropriate times
during the prayer, especially in Sujood, and asking Allah always to give you
khushoo in your salat.
Prophet scw used to say “O
Allah I seek refuge with you from a heart that has no khushoo,, tirmidi
v
Removing
anything that may distract the worshipper
§ Not praying when there is food prepared that one
wants to eat
§ Not praying when one needs to answer the call of
nature
§ Not turning around during prayer
§ Not raising one's gaze to the heavens
§ Not putting one’s hands on one’s hips when praying
§ Not letting one’s clothes hang down (sadl)
during prayer
§ Not resembling animals or imitating how they sit and
glance things
§ Always exerting good deeds and avoiding bad deeds.
§ Knowing the tricks of iblees and making your anemy..
These are some of things you can make to have a
kushoo in your salat,iinshaaAllaah, so that, it will be accounted as good in
the day of judgment, and all other deeds will be like so…
Allah said:-
“Successful indeed are the believers,
those
who offer their salaah (prayers) with all solemnity and fullsubmissiveness(kushoo).”[al-Mu’minoon
23:1-2] “and stand before Allaah with obedience”
[al-Baqarah 2:238]
““And seek help in patience and al-salaah, and
truly it is extremely heavy and hard except for al-khaashi’oon…’ [al-Baqarah
2:45
…….may Allah give us khushoo, in our salat…Aaaamiiin..
