Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the causes of khushu' (humility) in prayer?
Answer:
The causes include that a person should avoid whatever disturbs his thoughts, such as being in the presence of food that tempts him, or being urged by the two private parts (to relieve himself), or coming in a hurry and running. He should come with composure. All of these are among the causes of khushu' (humility). The greatest thing that brings khushu' (humility) is remembering the greatness of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) and reflecting on the Qur'an that is recited in the prayer. This is among the greatest types of causes of khushu' (humility).
