The ruling on closing the eyes in prayer and what are the specific causes that help achieve khushu' (humility)?

Question:
Closing the eyes in order to achieve khushu' (humility), especially in prayer. What is the ruling if a person has little khushu' (humility) in prayer, O Shaykh?

Answer:
It is disliked to close the eyes in prayer except for a reason. If there is something in front of him that distracts him, there is no harm in closing his eyes so that he does not become distracted in prayer. However, if there is no reason, it is disliked to close the eyes. As for khushu' (humility), this is something that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) places in the heart. But among its causes is reflecting on the Qur'an, reflecting on Surat al-Fatihah, reflecting on the recitation of whatever is easy for you. After that, reflecting on the Qur'an will cause khushu' (humility) for you, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
