Is it permissible for me to raise my voice during the bowing, prostration, and the tashahhud because I do not find khushu' (humility) except when I raise my voice?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And he says: Sometimes when I pray, I do not find khushu' (humility) unless I raise my voice in the prayer, in the bowing and prostration, or not? Do you raise your voice in this, and in the tashahhud and what is similar to it? Is it prescribed for me to raise my voice in these places? The answer

Answer : No, because this is a whisper from Shaytan, who throws into your heart the idea of finding khushu' (humility) by contradicting the Sunnah. Shaytan wants nothing from us but this: the loss of the khushu' (humility) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided us to, by spitting to your left three times and saying, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan." Did you understand? Good.
