Khushūʿ - The Quickest Route to Allah’s Pleasure
Allah,s pleasureKhushūʿ is one of the easiest and quickest routes to attaining the pleasure of Allah. One of the pious predecessors said, “I have tried coming closer to Allah by entering all the doors of worship. But every time I came close to a door, I found that it was crowded with people; thus, I was unable to enter until I approached the door of humility and desperate need for Him. I found that it was in fact the nearest and widest of all doors to Allāh; there were not any crowds at it nor were there any barriers. As soon as I placed my foot inside, He took my hand and admitted me inside.”
“Khushūʿ is the humility of the heart and the subservience of the limbs and organs.” [ʿAṭā’ al-Khurāsānī (raḥimahullāh)]
