According to Sheikh Muhammad bin Soleh al-'Uthaimin :

• The first thing that a servant will count among his deeds on the Day of Judgement is prayer

• This is related to the rights of Allah SWT. If his prayer is good, then he has succeeded and vice versa.

Imam al-Syaukani also commented : "Khusyu' according to some scholars is the act of the heart such the feeling of afraid and fearful. While others state that it is the actions of someone, where he is calm, does not move too much during prayer, or does not do or think of anything unbeneficial in prayer". Literally, khusyu' is defined as calm, tawadhu' (humility), fear and humble. Terminologically, khusyu' refers to a state of the heart characterized by humility, submission, and attentiveness to Allah during acts of worship, particularly in solat (prayer).

Khusyu' does matter in Solat because :

• Solat is the second pillar of Islam and a direct connection with Allah.

• Khusyu' ensures focus, humility, and sincerity in prayer

• Khusyu' makes solat meaningful and spiritually fulfilling

• Demonstrates complete submission and devotion to Allah

How to achieve khusyu' ?

• Prepare mentally and physically: Purify intentions, perform wudhu' (ablution), wear clean attire.

• Understand the meanings of recitations

• Choose a quite and clean place for solat

• Avoid distractions : keep gadgets away

• Visualize standing before Allah ( IHSAN )

• Prayer at the beginning of the time

• Do not solat at the moment when the food is ready or in uncomfortable situation

There's also some effects of khusyu' in daily life and Hereafter, such as, increases mindfulness and discipline, strengthens connection with Allah, promotes inner peace and reduces stress and also rewards in the Hereafter which is acceptance of prayers and closeness to Allah.

That's all thank you.

1. Increase Dedication

   • increase devotion to Allah Ta'ala because a person is willing to endure hunger, thirst, and things that cancel it in order to hope for a reward to Him

   • "O you who believe, it is obligatory for you to fast as it is obligatory for those before you to be pious" (QS Al-Baqarah: 183)

2. Train Ourselves for Time Discipline

   • Muslims wake up in the early morning to eat suhoor and sometimes continued performing night prayers until Fajr prayers

   • Muslims break their fast and then perform tarawih prayers and carry out other practices such as reading the Qur'an or doing iktikaf

3. Practice Patience

   • Prophet Muhammad SAW strongly emphasized to his people to be patient during fasting by not saying dirty things and doing other things that cancel their worship

   • "If one of you is fasting, then do not speak dirty words and do not act stupidly. If anyone reproaches him or disturbs him, say, 'Indeed, I am fasting.'" (HR Bukhari and Muslim).

4. Curbing Orgasms

   • Fasting can restrain and curb orgasm because people who fast are prohibited from obeying their lust

   • "O young men, whoever among you has the ability, then marry. Because it will lower the gaze more and take care of the genitals more. And whoever is not able to do so, then fasting because fasting is a shield for him." (HR Bukhari and Muslim)

5. Weakening Syaitan's Temptations

   • the temptation of Syaitan will weaken because our blood vessels during fasting will shrink

   • The narrowing of human blood vessels will narrow the movement of demons that run in the human bloodstream

6. Healthy Heart and Body

   • Fasting can make the heart healthy because fasting will hold one's orgasm and extinguish the cause of hostility that can bring about liver disease

   • "Remember that in the body there is a lump of flesh. If he is good, then the whole body is also good. If it is damaged, then the whole body is also damaged. Know that it is the heart." (HR Bukhari and Muslim)

7. Teaching the Meaning of Living Frugally and Simply

   • when the time for breaking the fast has arrived and we eat the various dishes available, we actually feel that one drink and one meal has made our stomachs feel full

   • we can learn a lesson that actually humans only indulge their lust when providing a variety of dishes on the table

8. Encourages Gratitude

   • A person will feel grace in the form of satiety and satisfaction. When the favor is gone, a person only feels how important the lost favor is.

   • It is a form of gratitude by realizing how important the blessings that have been held so far are.

9. Teaching Caring for the Weak

   • A person feel how difficult it is for a weak person who feels the pain of hunger and thirst every day

   • A person seems to participate in feeling the suffering of the poor who do not have excess wealth so that they encourage themselves to increase their concern

10. Awakening with Life Balance

    • Sometimes a person who is engrossed in his work becomes negligent in doing the sunnah worship, and may even abandon his obligations such as the five-time prayer

    • In the month of Ramadan, Muslims are reminded again that life must be balanced between this world and the hereafter.

That is among the wisdom of Ramadan fasting that can be interpreted by Muslims. Hopefully in this blessed holy month, Muslims can always maximize their fasting and carry out other worship to achieve the grace of Allah SWT.

That's all thank you !

The literal meaning of Zakah is growth, increase, cleanliness and betterment. While the technical meaning is determined share of wealth prescribed by God, Allah SWT, to be distributed among deserving categories. The differentiates from tax systems is Zakah promotes spiritual purification and social responsibility

The difference between Zakah and Sadaqah is :

1. Zakah is compulsory act of Ibadah while Sadaqah is recommended act of Ibadah

2. Zakah is a formal structured ritual in Islam while Sadaqah is neither formal nor structured ritual in Islam

3. In Zakah, Allah SWT specified its recipients, amounts, time and method of payment while, in Sadaqah, Allah SWT did not specify its recipients, amounts, time and method of payment

4. Zakah consists of two types which is zakah al-fitr and zakah al-mal while Sadaqah is inclusive of all acts of giving and donation such as zakah, infaq, and waqf

The significance of Zakah

• Tawakkul ( Reliance on Allah ) - Training Muslim to rely on Allah SWT rather than material wealth

• Ukhuwwah - Fosters love, empathy, and unity among Muslims and purifies society from envy and hatred

• Bridging relationships - combines spiritual and social dimensions

In conclusion, Zakah is not just a financial obligation but a spiritual and social act of worship. It also fosters reliance on Allah ( Tawwakul ) and strengthens brotherhood ( Ukhuwwah ). Observing Zakah is essential for a harmonious and righteous Muslim community.

That's all thank you !
