Surah al Muminoon
(Verses 1&2)
Successful indeed are the believers, those who offer their salah with solemnity and submissiveness
In Hazrat Umars ra Caliphate the Muslim army entered Persia. On seeing Muslims often standing, kneeling and sitting together as indicated by their prayer leader, Rustam, the Persian General remarked : "Umar has eaten my liver (Umar has undone me completely). He is teaching the dogs the adab (discipline) of life."
Manifestations of Salaat
Discipline is the external aspect of salaat
The internal aspect of salaat is khushoo & taqwa
Khushoo
Khushoo means serenity, tranquility, devotion, humility, awe and the full awareness of Allah
Khushoo
What makes a person have this khushoo is fear of Allah and the sense that He is always watching (Tafseer Ibn Katheer)
Khushoo means that the heart stands before the Lord in humility and submission (Al-Madaarij, 1/520)
Its importance
The importance of khushoo is that ones intention is right One knows that he/she is in the worship of Allah, the Lord of the worlds; the only One Who is worthy of worship, and the only One before Whom one will prostrate in worship If the khushoo is there, InshaAllah, the salah will be accepted by Allah
Virtue of khushoo
