Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks about the causes of khushu' (humility) in prayer, and what to do if a person is distracted by thoughts and whispers when he begins his prayer?
Answer:
The causes of khushu' in prayer are something that Allah places in the heart of the believer. He should keep the greatness of his Lord in mind, submit himself before Him, and reflect upon the Qur'an when he recites it or hears it from the imam. This is the spirit of the prayer and its essence. He should avoid distractions before entering the prayer so that he enters it fully focused on it. Yes.
