Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their Salah(prayer)


with all solemnity and submissiveness [TMQ Al-Mu'minum?23:1-21]?



Khushoo-to have calmness,serenity,tranquillity,and humility when praying.?


What makes a person have this Khushoo is the fear of Allahسبحانه وتعالى and the sense He is always watching you?



1-? Try to pray in a room that is quiet, preferaby with no one else in it so? that you're not distracted by other people's conversations and movements.



2- Always use a prayer mat to give you a prayer-zone, this will provide you with somewhere to fix your attention.



3- Avoid praying when you want to go toilet or pass wind.



4- To make your intention before prayer that much more powerful,remember that this may be your last prayer before you die.



5- Remember that when you pray, Allahسبحانه وتعالى is listenng to you, so try and concentrate and be sincere when you recte.



6- To help you concentrate, memorise the meaning of what you pray in salah so that? when you recite you can pray to Allahسبحانه وتعالى with seriousness.



7- Try to memorise? a new surah of Qur'an every week/month so that you are not just repeating surah Ikhlas, this will help you avoide being robotic in your prayer.



8- Lengthen the sitting between the two prostrations (sajdeyn) to? prevent you from rushing the?salah.? It was said that the Prophet(saw)would pause in between his prostrations for so long that one would? say he had forgotten.



9- Increase the time in prostration by learning an alternative dua in?


addition to subhaana Raby? Yal'A'laa. this will give ore meaning to your prostration. The Prophet(saw) said, The closest a servent is to his Lord is? when he is in Sujood(prostration), so make dua frequently.[Tirmidhi]



10- Maintain the good habit of reading the Sunnah Prayers.

Ka'b (R.A.) says that he saw in the Taurat that Allah Ta'alla said to Musa (Alayhis Salaam.): 'O Musa! For the two rakaats of Fajr prayer that Ummah of Muhammad (saw) will perform, we will forgive all their sins of the whole day and night and enter them into the fort of our security.

O Musa! For each of the four rakaats of Dhuhr, which the Ummah of Muhammad (saw) perform, the reward is separate. For the first rakaat, the reward is forgiveness of sins,

For the second rakaat, the reward is that his good deeds will be made heavy on the Day of Judgment, for the third rakaat, the reward is the angels making Du'a for their forgiveness and asking My mercy for them; for the fourth rakaat, the reward is the opening of the doors of Heaven and the damsels of Paradise looking at them.

O Musa, when our last Prophet (saw) and his Ummah will pray the four rakaats of Asr salat, there will be no angel on earth and heaven who will not pray for their forgiveness. And we will not punish those for whom the angels pray for forgiveness.

O Musa, when Our last Prophet Ummah will pray the three rakaats at the time of Maghrib, then the doors of the heavens will be opened, and we will fulfil whatever they will ask.

O Musa, the four rakaats of Isha are better than all the earth's kingdom and wealth. After performing this salat, they will be as purified of their sins, as a new born baby.
