Advice for the one who loses khushu' when looking at the place of prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man is praying and looking at the place of his prostration, and when he does not close his eyes, he loses some of the khushu'
The Shaykh:
Yes, a man. A man is praying and looking at the place of his prostration. Yes, indeed.
The questioner:
And when he does not close his eyes, he loses some of the khushu'. So what do you advise him? May Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
If he is with them, meaning he knows the degrees of khushu', he looks at the place of his prostration as the scholars mentioned, and that is sufficient. Khushu' is not in closing the eyes; khushu' is something Allah places in the heart.
