EPISODE 2️⃣9️⃣ – CONCLUDING PART
➖➖➖
Spiritual connection with Allaah (ﷻ) in Salaah is attainable only through khushuu’. Khushuu’ is the tranquility of the heart and the calmness of the organs. i.e, to worship Allaah (ﷻ) as if we can perceive Him and all of the realities of the unseen world.
Attaining khushuu’ in salaah is a difficult task as Shaytaan habitually tries to stop believers from establishing prayer, and if he’s unsuccessful, he then continues trying to entice him and make him forget – to disconnect him spiritually. However, every worshipper needs to develop interest in practicing steps to gain spiritual connection, which over time, will accumulate and help to reach the goal.
It has been proven and confirmed from prophetic narrations that there is no reward for the prayer except for the portion in which a person had proper presence of mind corroborated by narrations from the Companions like Ibn ‘Abbaas (رضي الله عنه), where he said: “You will gain nothing from your prayer except what you focus on.” and a Salaah with khushuu’ is a success, and every success serves as a motivational means for another success.
The 65 tips to attain khushuu’ and other actions not mentioned here may be affected or changed in cases of necessity, but if there is no necessity, then it is advisable they be diligently applied to safeguard salaah from accursed Shaytaan.
Meanwhile, believers should not forget to always seek refuge with Allaah (ﷻ) from a heart that has no khushuu’. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say in this du’aa’:
“اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ من قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ”
“Allaahumma innee a’oodhu bika min qalbin laa yakhsha…”
(O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from a heart that has no khushoo’…).”
[Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 5/485, no. 3482; Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 2769].
May Allaah (ﷻ) grant us understanding, make this little effort useful to us and accept our ‘ibaadaat.
آمِيْن
Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ashhadu an la ilaha illa Anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaika”
(O Allaah, You are free from every imperfection; praise be to You. I testify that there is no true god except You; I ask Your Pardon and turn to You in repentance).
