Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to another questioner, may Allah protect you. He says: "Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Our Shaykh, I love you for the sake of Allah. What are the factors that help achieve khushu' (humility) in prayer? I suffer from a lot of distraction in prayer, as well as a lack of khushu' (humility) when reciting the Qur'an."
Answer:
The first of the causes is that you seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan after the opening takbir to drive the Shaytan away from you, and so that your heart is present and you become humble. Among them is that you do not enter into prayer in a place that is extremely cold or extremely hot. Among them is that you do not enter into prayer while one of the two private matters, urination or defecation, is pressing you. Among them is that you do not enter into prayer at the time of 'Isha' when you need it or your soul yearns for it. If as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and he said Riyad as-Salihin 1753 urination or defecation, so one should avoid distractions when entering into prayer. Yes.

If the 'Isha' prayer is present, start with it
