Khusu' is not in your hand, but it is a gift from Allah - author.
What I learnt from this book : Salah is one of the five pillars of Islam. As Muslims, we submit to Allah. The prove of submission to Allah is by performing our ibadah. Salah is a form of physical obedience to Allah - we don't submit to Allah with just our heart. If we don't understand this, salah could be just a routine. And the fact that Allah let us perform salah is actually part of His Divine Gift, and we should thank Allah for that.
It is very difficult to describe this book. You might find the points repetitive but if you really read it with your HEART, and practice it in your salah, then inshaAllah you will benefit something from it.
Seek knowledge with a sincere heart, to get connected to Allah and you will find what you are looking for.

i read this for 20 minutes straight. this book had been in my wishlist for so long and alhamdulillah, i finally got my own copy.
Buku ini memang sangat nipis dan sepatutnya, aku boleh habiskan bacaan dalam masa hanya satu jam. Tetapi tidak, aku mengambil masa untuk menghadamkan setiap ayat yang aku baca. Ternyata buku ini memberi impak yang sangat besar buat aku. Meremang bulu roma, menitis air mata ku ketika membaca buku ini. Semoga aku dapat memanfaatkan setiap ilmu yang aku perolehi daripada pembacaanku ini.
A very beautiful and powerful booklet indeed. Takes you right in. My take from the book in two lines, and I quote the author, " Khushu is the connection that you have in salah and outside salah. You cannot be connected to Allah swt in the mosque and disconnected outside."
Thin book that you could finish it in less than an hour. Its very beneficial with tips given. Its not wordy but you can grasp the tips given very well. Love it !
