Khushoo in Salaat is essential
Khushoo in prayer happens when a person
empties his heart for it, and focuses on it
to the exclusion of all else, and prefers it to
everything else
Only then does one find comfort and joy in it,
as the Holy Prophet saw has said:
and my joy has been made in salah
(Saheeh al-Jaami, 3124)

striving to push away all distractions that
make one think of something other than
the prayer itself, and warding off thoughts
