الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ ﴿23:2﴾
(23:2) who *2 perform their Salat with humility: *3
*2 The noble characteristics of the Believers
pointed out in vv. 2-9 are the arguments to prove the above
assertion. In other words, it has been stated that
people with such and such traits and qualities only can
attain true success in this world and in the Hereafter.
*3 Khashi`un in the Text is from khushu (to bow down, to
express humility) which is a condition of the heart as well
as of the body. Khushu' of the heart is to fear
and stand in awe of a powerful person, and khushu ` of the
body is to bow one's head and lower one's gaze and
voice in his presence. In Salat one is required to show
khushu ` both of the heart and of the body, and this is the
essence of the Prayer. It has been reported that
when the Holy Prophet once saw a person offering his Prayer
as well as playing with his beard, he remarked:
"Had he khushu ` in his heart, his body would have manifested
it. "
Though khushu ` is actually a condition of the heart, as
stated by the above tradition, it is manifested by the body
as a matter of course. The Shari `ah has enjoined
certain etiquette which, on the one hand, helps produce
khushu ` in the heart, and on the other, helps sustain
the physical act of the Prayer in spite of the
fluctuating condition of the heart. According to this
etiquette, one should neither turn to the right or
left, nor raise one's head to look up: one may, however,
look around from the corner of the eye, but as far as
possible, one must fix the gaze on the place where the
forehead would rest in prostration; one is also forbidden to
shift about, incline side ways, fold the garments
or shake off dust from them. It is also forbidden that while
going down for prostration, one should clean the
place where one would sit or perform prostration. Similarly
it is disrespectful that one should stand stuffy
erect, recite the verses of the Qur'an in a loud resounding
voice, or sing them, or belch or yawn repeatedly
and noisily. It has also not been approved that one should
offer the Prayer in a hurry.
The injunction is
that each article of the Prayer should be performed in
perfect peace and tranquillity, and unless one article has
been completely performed, the next should not be
begun. If one feels hurt by something during the Prayer, one
may cast it aside by one hand, but moving the hand
repeatedly or using both the hands for the purpose is
prohibited. with this etiquette of the body, it is
also important that one should irrelevant things during the
Prayer. If thoughts come to the mind intention, it
is a natural human weakness, but one should try one's
Along avoid thinking without one's utmost that the mind and
heart are wholly turned towards Allah, and the
mind is in full harmony and tune with the tongue, and as soon
as one becomes conscious of irrelevant thoughts one
should immediately turn the attention to the Prayer.
Kaedah2 yang saya catatkan di sini adalah berdasarkan pemerhatian
1)Kurangkan pembaziran air ketika wuduk- orang yang membazirkan air
ketika wuduk jelas telah menjadi kawan syaitan,jadi bagaimana ingin
khusyuk jika dari awal lagi telah dikuasai syaitan.
2)Rapatkan saf sehingga bertemu bahu dan tumit- dari maksud hadis
Rasulullah saw yang beliau saw nampak syaitan berupa seperti anak
kambing duduk di antara saf yang renggang.Bagaimana untuk khusyuk jika
syaitan ada disebelah kaki kamu?
3)Belajar bahasa Arab yang mencukupi untuk menghayati dan memahami
bacaan surah dan bacaan solat.Bagaimana ingin khusyuk jika kamu tidak
mengerti apa yang kamu sebut?Oleh itu bacalah semua bacaan dalam solat
dengan
SEPENUH2 perasaan
4)Hadirkan hati dalam solat dan sedar kita sebenarnya berhadapan dengan
Allah. Jangan salahkan faktor sekeliling seperti anak kecil
menangis,bunyi bising dsbgnya menyebabkan kita tidak khusyuk solat
kerana faktor sebenar adalah hati yang tidak hadir.Kebiasaannya
mujahidin yang sedang berperang dapat khusyuk di dalam solat walaupun
bom meletup berhampiran mereka sehingga bergegar bumi yang dipijak.
