The Humility in Prayer

Khushu (humility) in prayer refers to the softness of the heart—its gentleness, stillness, submission, and yearning for Allah. When the heart is truly humble, this humility extends to all parts of the body: hearing, sight, head, face, and even speech. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) expressed this in his bowing (ruku), saying:

“My hearing, sight, bones, and marrow are humbled to You.”

In another narration: “and whatever my foot carries.”

A story from the Salaf (righteous predecessors) illustrates this: One of them saw a man fidgeting during prayer and remarked,

“If the heart of this person was humble, so too would his limbs be.”

The source of Khushu lies in the heart, rooted in the deep knowledge (gnosis) of Allah’s greatness, magnificence, and perfection. The more a person knows Allah, the more humility he attains.

The greatest act of worship that displays Khushu is the prayer (salah). Allah praises those who have Khushu in their prayers.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“When you stand in prayer, stand in due obedience as Allah has ordered you. Beware of negligence and looking around. Beware that Allah is looking at you while you are distracted, asking Him for Paradise and seeking refuge from the Fire, yet your heart is heedless, not knowing what your tongue is saying.”

Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

“The first thing you will lose of your religion will be Khushu, and the last thing you will lose will be the prayer. It is possible that there is no good in a person who prays, and soon will come a time when you will enter a large Masjid and not see a single person with Khushu.”
