“The first thing you will lose of your religion will be Khushû and the last thing you will lose of your religion will be the prayer, and it is well possible that there is no good in a person who prays, and soon will come a time when you shall enter a large Masjid and not see a single person with Khushû‘"- The Humility in Prayer, Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalî
Ahh! this is our condition
ReplyDeleteSister Zubaida i agree with you.
ReplyDeleteIts so true!!!! We now dont even know what Khusu is.
ReplyDeleteIbn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, explaining the difference between the khushoo of true faith and the khushoo of hypocrisy: The khushoo of true faith is when the heart feels aware and humble before the greatness and glory of Allaah, and is filled with awe, fear and shyness, so that the heart is utterly humbled before Allaah and broken, as it were, with fear, shyness, love and the recognition of the blessings of Allaah and its own sins. So no doubt the khushoo of the heart is followed by the khushoo of the body. As for the khushoo of hypocrisy, it is something that is put on with a great show, but there is no khusho in the heart.
ReplyDeletehow can v bring khusho in our prayers...n is their any supplication to recite to create khusho...waiting for the reply anxiously
ReplyDeletethere is no supplication, but try to recite "allaahumma ajjirnna minannaar" and "allahumma haasibni hisaabany yaseera " often in sujood, which mean "oh Allah save me from hell fire" and "oh Allah make my recompense easy on the judgement day", also reciting verses that spk abt hell wud help...there is also a famous article by sh.salih al munajjid (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fislamworld.net%2Fkhushoo.htm&rct=j&q=ways%20of%20developing%20lhushoo%20in%20prayer&ei=Lc2WTd7pFcXFgAfMurCuCA&usg=AFQjCNHAjO4mBFc4M58CG0iwEA3smZGgnQ&sig2=IBRCKYxd4pNXs1Gb7KmAhA&cad=rja) that is on developing khushoo. if this comment helps, plpray for me too, cos we are all in t same need!!!
