33 Ways of developing Khushuu (concentration) in salaah (by sheikh S. Munajjid) #Definition_and_Tip_One! *Because of what every person knows about himself, and because of the complaints that one hears from many people about waswaas (insinuating thoughts from Shaytaan) during the salaah and the loss of khushoo’, the need for some discussion of this matter is quite obvious. The following is a reminder to myself and to my Muslim brothers, and I ask Allaah to make it of benefit. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Successful indeed are the believers, those who offer their salaah (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness.” [al- Mu’minoon 23:1-2] *Khushoo’ means calmness, serenity, tranquillity, dignity and humility. *What makes a person have this khushoo’ is fear of Allaah and the sense that He is always watching. (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, Daar al-Sha’b edn., 6/414). #Tip_One... 1 – Striving to gain that which gives and strengthens khushoo’ This can be achieved in several ways, such as the following: Preparing oneself for prayer properly.. For example: By repeating the words of the adhaan after the muezzin; By pronouncing the du’aa’ to be recited after the adhaan: “Allaahummah Rabba haazhihi’l-da’wati’l-taammah ...till end (**let me know if you want the full duaa); Reciting du’aa’ between the azhaan and the iqaamah; Doing wudoo’ properly, saying Bismillaah before it and making dhikr and saying the du’aa’ after it“ >NB> preparation for salat is very important and affects your comportment in salaat!!! *To be continued with more tips in_shaa_Allah May Allah protect us from waswas and grant us the Joy of salaat.. till Jannah.. Ameeen
