How to attain khushu' in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you. A woman says: I am your sister in Allah, Zahra from the Asir region. My question is: How is khushu' achieved in prayer?

Answer:
This is a gift from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), a gift that Allah bestows upon whomever He wills of His servants, whereby their hearts are present. The presence of the heart is the cause of khushu', being present for the recitation of the Qur'an and listening to the recitation of the Qur'an. He the Exalted and Majestic said:
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
[Al-A'raf 7:204]
Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
