Summary
Khusyuk in prayer is explained on the basis of Surah al-Mu'minun verses 1 to 2, which describe believers who are humble in their prayers as the successful ones. Linguistically, khusyuk means submission and lowering oneself, while scholars define it in various ways such as tranquility, fear, humility and lowering the gaze. These definitions complement one another, as some stress the outward aspect and others the inward aspect. Khusyuk is divided into khusyuk of the heart and khusyuk of the body.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Khusyuk adalah: Berdirinya hati di hadapan Tuhan dengan penuh ketundukan dan perasaan hina diri.
