How do I attain khushu' in my prayer?

Question:
The second matter is that I lose focus in my prayer. What is the example I should follow to direct myself to Allah with a humble heart during my prayer? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
First, you must attend to the state of your heart and abandon distractions and worries. Second, you must seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed at the beginning of the prayer, before this opening and before the recitation, for the benefit of seeking refuge is that your heart is present and Satan stays away from you.
Third, it is the presence of the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), before Whom you are standing and with Whom you are conversing. You should realize that you are standing before Allah, for then you will surely fear Him, because you are before a Majestic Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) while you are standing in prayer.
Fourth, do not enter into prayer with a confused mind. If you enter into prayer while needing to eat, the food has been prepared. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When the 'Isha' prayer is prepared, begin with it," meaning begin with it before the prayer, so that your mind is not confused by looking forward to eating. You should eat what pleases you of food, then turn to your prayer. Likewise, do not enter into prayer while holding in your urine or being urged by the need to relieve yourself, due to the prohibition of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) of that. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: regarding urine and excrement. You must free yourself from these things in order to enter into prayer with a present mind and clear thought. Do not pray in a place that is extremely cold, or a place that is extremely hot, because this also disturbs you. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded cooling down for the Zuhr prayer when the heat is intense, in order to remove hardship from the people and for them to enter into prayer in a good state. Likewise, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited hurrying in the mosque and in prayer, because this agitates the soul and confuses the mind. One might enter into prayer while his soul is restless, so he does not find tranquility in his prayer. He is supposed to enter into prayer while at peace, with a comfortable mind. All of this is for the sake of khushu' in the prayer and the presence of the heart in it.
