What is Khushu'?

What is Khushu'?
Khushu' during Salah is misunderstood by some people as crying and weeping. Rather, it is the presence of the heart during an act of 'Ibadah. When a person's heart is fully occupied of what he says or hears, he is in a true state of Khushu'. The concept of Khushu' in Salah is very essential.
1- It is a vital factor in making a person successful in this life and in later life.
"Indeed, the believers, who have Khushu' in their Salah, are the winners." [Noble Quran 23:1-2]
2-It is a contributing factor for the acceptance of Salah.
3- It is a way to gain more rewards from the Almighty Allah; the more the Khushu' a person has, the more rewards he gets.
4- Without Khushu' the heart cannot easily be purified.
May Almighty ALLAH help us all to develop Khushu in our salah...Ameen
Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For you are the All-Hearing, the All-knowing. (Al Qur'an 2:127)
