Rate Your Salah and How to Attain Khushu is the first lesson in the Y9 salah series. It takes a rarely asked question seriously: not whether you pray, but how well you pray, and whether your heart is present when you do.
This lesson covers.
- Khushu defined and explained using Surah al-Mu’minun (23:1โ11), with the Arabic term understood as the heart’s state of complete humility and submission before Allah, which the body then reflects.
- Practical means of attaining khushu are covered, including understanding the words of salah, varying the adhkar, slowing down in each posture, and making duสฟa for tawfiq.
- The five categories of worshippers are set out in detail, from the one careless in wudu and timings who will be punished, to the one whose heart beholds his Lord and who will be brought close to Him.
- A hadith from Sahih Muslim narrated by สฟAmr ibn สฟAbasah on the sin-cleansing effect of praying with wholehearted devotion is included, connecting khushu to spiritual purification.
- The duสฟa al-istiftah from Sahih al-Bukhari is presented with its Arabic text and translation, with a short activity asking learners to write the translation from memory.
