Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is praying and does not leave any of the obligatory acts, but he does not attain khushu' in his prayer?
Answer:
He should ask his Lord for success, seek help from Allah, and strive. When he enters the prayer, he should be present with his heart, trying to focus his heart on Allah and to be mindful of the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and that he is standing before Him, hoping for His mercy and fearing His punishment; perhaps he will attain khushu'—if Allah wills—when he keeps this in mind. Perhaps he will attain khushu'. He should avoid intrusive thoughts and strive to focus his heart on Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and remember that he is before Him, that he fears Him and hopes in Him. He should remember the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Mu'minun 23:1] who are humble in their prayers [Al-Mu'minun: 1, 2]. He should strive, and perhaps Allah will bestow khushu' upon him. He should ask his Lord for success and assistance in this matter.
