Summary
Khushu' in prayer is a matter of the heart and is an essential element of a quality prayer, although scholars differ in describing its precise meaning. It can only be attained by a person who focuses the heart on the prayer and sets aside other concerns. The fatwa advises giving priority to prayer even in difficult circumstances, praying at the start of its time, praying in congregation where possible, and inviting friends to pray together.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Khusyuk dalam solat hanya dapat dilakukan oleh orang yang memfokuskan hati padanya sambil melupakan pelbagai aktiviti yang lain.
