Summary
The condemnation in Surah al-Ma'un, verse 5, is directed at those who are heedless of their prayer, meaning those who delay it past its time, perform it carelessly or lazily, or pray to be seen by others. According to Wahbah Zuhaili, forgetfulness during prayer is excused because it is not a matter of choice. Khushu' is explained as an act of the heart that leads to calmness of the limbs, and Imam al-Nawawi states that it is recommended in prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Imam Nawawi menyatakan bahawa disunatkan untuk khusyuk di dalam solat seperti tunduk, tadabbur ayat bacaaan dan zikir di dalamnya, tidak memikirkan perkara diluar solat.
