392 - 322 - Al Khushoo The Heart of Worship
Q-1: How can you tell if a person has khushoo’ during prayer?
Ans: When a person has khushoo’ during prayer, he or she will be completely
focused in his or her prayer and calm.
Q-2: Shaytan doesn’t want to have khoshoo’ in your Salah. Why and how?
Ans: Shaytan tries his best that we do not experience khushoo’ in Salah. Why?
Because he doesn’t want us to gain much rewards for it. He wants us to offer
faulty Salah that ends up unaccepted by Allah. How? He reminds us with the
things we like or have interest in such as, sports, TV, games, to meet friends
and other interesting things so; we lose focus on Salah and forget that we are
praying to Allah.

Exercise 5
Story:
Once a boy who was playing game outside the house. The prayer time
came, but he didn’t care for it. It was about to finish. When his mother
called him. He missed out many steps while doing Wudoo in great hurry.
Likewise, he skipped and forgot what he recited in Salah, because his mind
was totally occupied with the game he was playing before.
