How to Pray with Khushu' (Focus in Prayer) - Sheikh Sulaiman Ar-Ruhaily

You pray, but your mind wanders everywhere? In this video, Sheikh Sulaiman Ar-Ruhaily answers the question: how can we drive away whispers (waswas) and attain khushu' in prayer? He explains that khushu' can be attained, but it takes long striving (mujahadah). The greater something is, the harder the path to it. The end result is a sweetness that has no equal. ⏱️ TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 Question: how to drive away waswas and attain khushu' in prayer 0:17 Khushu' requires striving (mujahadah) 0:46 Way 1: Voluntary prayers at home, when no one is watching 1:15 Way 2: Voluntary prayers before the obligatory prayer 1:38 Way 3: Reflecting on the meaning of the recitation and movements of prayer 2:16 Way 4: Remembering that you are standing before Allah 2:41 Way 5: Striving against Iblis and seeking Allah's protection 3:58 Khushu', the greatest blessing of this world 📌 SUMMARY OF THE 5 WAYS 1. Pray plenty of voluntary prayers at home, even in the last part of the night, so that khushu' becomes second nature. 2. Precede the obligatory prayer with a voluntary prayer, at home or in the mosque, so the heart is more ready to be present. 3. Reflect on the meaning of what you say, for example at the takbir and when saying "Subhana Rabbiyal 'Azhim" in ruku'. 4. Remember that you are standing before Allah, and that you will one day stand before Him with no interpreter. 5. Fight Iblis's distractions with mujahadah and isti'adhah (seeking refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan). 💬 DISCUSSION Which way have you benefited from most often?
