1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Allah the Almighty says:

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Successful indeed are the believers.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,380
“Who are humble in their prayers,” (23:2)

4
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:14,380
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

5
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:18,420
The delight of my eyes has been placed in prayer.

6
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:21,420
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

7
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:24,539
For the one whose delight is placed in prayer,

8
00:00:24,539 --> 00:00:27,539
How could his eyes find comfort without it?

9
00:00:28,539 --> 00:00:30,539
And how could he bear to be patient while away from it?

10
00:00:30,539 --> 00:00:33,539
The prayer of such a person, who is present with his heart,

11
00:00:33,539 --> 00:00:36,539
And whose eyes find delight in the prayer,

12
00:00:36,539 --> 00:00:38,539
Is the one that ascends,

13
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:40,539
Possessing light and clear proof,

14
00:00:40,539 --> 00:00:44,539
Until it is received by the Most Merciful, the Almighty and Majestic,

15
00:00:44,539 --> 00:00:46,539
Who then says:

16
00:00:46,539 --> 00:00:49,829
May Allah preserve you as you have preserved me.

17
00:00:49,829 --> 00:00:52,829
Imam Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

18
00:00:52,829 --> 00:00:54,829
True khushu' (humility) in prayer

19
00:00:55,829 --> 00:00:58,829
Is only attained by one who empties his heart for it,

20
00:00:58,829 --> 00:01:01,829
Occupies himself with it to the exclusion of all else,

21
00:01:01,829 --> 00:01:04,829
And prefers it over everything else.

22
00:01:04,829 --> 00:01:06,829
Only then

23
00:01:06,829 --> 00:01:09,829
Does it become a source of rest and a delight for his eyes.
