Course Introduction

What can we do to improve the quality of our salah?
We pray, go through the physical motions, recite the surahs and duas, and discharge the obligation. Is that all that is expected of us? Allah, Exalted is He, says,

‘And establish prayer to remember me’ (20:14).

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

‘When one of you prays, he is in intimate discourse with His Lord…’ (al-Bukhari).

Furthermore, the Prophet, peace be upon him, took pleasure in salah.
This demonstrates a dimension to salah that requires more from us qualitatively: an attitude to salah that goes beyond physical movements, and verbal incantations; a dimension that requires mindful devotion, presence of mind, and an awareness of Allah’s closeness. This is called Khushu’.

This short course is about khushu. It will show us that khushu is not just a word that expresses an abstract unattainable spiritual state but a practical, attainable requirement of prayer that every believer must pursue with all their heart, and all their effort. This course will show you how khushu can be attained. 

Normally a recorded on-demand course, we are offering students the opportunity to study it life with Shaykh Shams Adduha. With the knowledge you will gain in this course,  you will be able to practise improving the quality of your salah immediately.
