Looking at the place of prostration and closing the eyes in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man is praying and looking at the place where he will prostrate, and when he does not close his eyes, he loses some of the khushu' (humility).
The Shaykh:
Yes, a man?
The questioner:
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 humility. What do you advise him to do? May Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
I am with them. What do you mean by "he knows the degrees of humility"? What is this talk? He looks at the place of his prostration, as the scholars mentioned, and that is sufficient. Humility is not in closing the eyes; rather, humility is something that Allah places in the heart. Yes.
