0:00 Allah the Almighty says:
0:02 Successful indeed are the believers.
0:06 “Who are humble in their prayers,” (23:2)
0:11 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:14 The delight of my eyes has been placed in prayer.
0:18 Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
0:21 For the one whose delight is placed in prayer,
0:24 How could his eyes find comfort without it?
0:28 And how could he bear to be patient while away from it?
0:30 The prayer of such a person, who is present with his heart,
0:33 And whose eyes find delight in the prayer,
0:36 Is the one that ascends,
0:38 Possessing light and clear proof,
0:40 Until it is received by the Most Merciful, the Almighty and Majestic,
0:44 Who then says:
0:46 May Allah preserve you as you have preserved me.
0:49 Imam Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
0:52 True khushu' (humility) in prayer
0:55 Is only attained by one who empties his heart for it,
0:58 Occupies himself with it to the exclusion of all else,
1:01 And prefers it over everything else.
1:04 Only then
1:06 Does it become a source of rest and a delight for his eyes.
