The Benefits & Fruits Of Dhikr (The Legislated Remembrances Of Allah) By Shaykh ʿAbdur-Razzāq Ibn ʿAbdul-Muḥsin al- ʿAbbād al-Badr ISBN: 9781642558623 From the book: With the Dhikr of Allāh the hearts of the believers become tranquil, their souls become calm, their certainty magnifies, and their Ēmān (faith) increases. The Dhikr of Allāh is the symbol of happiness and the path to success in this world and the hereafter; rather all good, happiness, delight, pleasure and tranquility in this world and the next is dependent on the performance of the Dhikr of Allāh rather all of the legislation and acts of obedience in totality were legislated to establish the Dhikr of Allāh. Hence what Allāh has legislated for his servants from Salāh, fasting, Hajj and other than that from the acts of obedience is solely for establishing the remembrance of Allāh.

Khushu In The Prayer Al-Khushuʿ in Ṣalāh: Presence of the heart therein before Allāh the Exalted in love and honor, fearing His punishment. While desiring the reward of the Ṣalāh to acquire a tranquil heart. Then one will have a peaceful soul and clear, balanced movements. So he focuses on all thoughts and actions as well as what's mentioned in Ṣalāh from the beginning until the end so as to make sure distracting thoughts and whims are not in the way. Thus khushuʿ is the spirit of the Ṣalāh and the main point in it. Alas, any Ṣalāh without khushuʿ is like a body without a soul in it.

Reverence For The Salah By Shaykh Abdur Razzaq ibn Abdul Muhsin Al-Abaad al-Badr ISBN: 9781684182404 Author: Shaykh Abdur-Razzaq Ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad al-Badr Book Binding: Paperback Pages 196 Size: 6 x 9 inch Publication year: 2020 Description About This Book: Shaykh Abdur Razzaq ibn Abdul Muhsin Al-Abaad al-Badr's book "Reverence for the Salah" is profound and enlightening. The acclaimed scholar digs deeply into the significance of Salah (Islamic prayer) and the value of establishing sincere reverence and dedication to this act of worship in this excellent work. Shaykh Abdur Razzaq Al-Badr gives excellent insights on how to achieve Khushu' (humility and attentiveness) in Salah throughout the pages of this book. He dives into the spiritual components of prayer, advising readers on how to strengthen their relationship with Allah through each prayer and transform it into a transformational and gratifying experience. The Ṣalāh is the most crucial affair in a Muslim's life. To preserve one's religion, one has to observe it consistently; otherwise, one would be negligent of the Ṣalāh, let alone other acts of worship. It is the pillar of Islām, as it is soundly reported from the Prophet (May Allah elevate his rank & grant him peace). At the same time, the remaining deeds serve as the axis of support. Similarly, a tent without a pillar is useless. The Ṣalāh is the criterion for accepting all other deeds; if it is rejected [by Allāh], all other deeds will be rejected. It is the first obligation ever in Islām and the last act of worship to wither. So, if one is negligent to the first and the last thing in Islām, then one will lose everything in-between. Inadequate observance of the Ṣalāh that lacks adherence to its prescribed form in the manner performed by the Messenger of Allāh (May Allah elevate his rank & grant him peace) will derail one's religion. It will invalidate all deeds, cause misconduct in one's religious and worldly affairs.
