This quality, once acquired, shows its spiritual fruitfulness in
making the obedience to Allah and submission to Him easy and pleasant
for one; sometimes it reflects itself even in the bodily posture and
appearance of the man who has acquired it, for such a man always
behaves in a disciplined and polite manner, is modest and humble, and
seems to be "broken-hearted", that is to say, one who has lost all
vanity and self-love.
Another word - Khudu' - which is often used along with Khushu', and
which appears several times in the Holy Qur'an as well. The two words
are almost synonymous. But the word Khushu', according to its lexical
root, refers to the lowering of the voice and of the glance when it is
not artificial but arises out of a real modesty and fear of Allah -
for example, the Holy Qur'an says: "Voices have been hushed" (20:108).
On the other hand, the word "Khudu'" refers to the bodily posture
which shows modesty and humility - for example, the Holy Qur'an says:
"So their necks will stay humbled to it." (26:4) We must also define
as to what, in the eyes of the Shari'ah, the exact position and value
of Khushu' is with regard to Salah. The Holy Qur'an and the Hadith
repeatedly stress its importance as in: "And perform the prayer for
the sake of My remembrance." (20:14)
