Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: How can a Muslim achieve khushu' in his prayer and reach the point where his prayer restrains him from indecency and wrongdoing?
Answer:
He asks his Lord, he calls upon his Lord, and he attends the prayer ready to pray, with no distractions occupying his mind. Allah (Exalted and Majestic) bestows khushu' upon him if he removes the causes that are incompatible with khushu'. Therefore, there is no prayer in the presence of food, nor prayer while one is struggling with the two urges of urination and defecation, nor prayer on ground that is extremely hot or extremely cold. All these are causes because they are incompatible with khushu'.
