Humility In Prayers By Ibn Rajab

Humility in Prayer by Ibn Rajab (Translated by Abu Rumaysah): Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali’s concise yet profound work, The Humility in Prayer (Khushūʿ), is an essential treatise on the inner spirit of Salāh, meticulously translated by Abu Rumaysah. The book defines khushūʿ not merely as physical stillness, but as the softness, meekness, and brokenness of the heart before the Lord, stemming from the gnosis (knowledge) of Allah’s magnificence. It systematically guides the reader to understand that prayer is the greatest physical manifestation of this humility, and that without this deep submission of the heart, the outward form of worship remains hollow and deficient of its true reward and sweetness.
