Humility in Prayer
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي صَلَاتِهِمۡ خَٰشِعُونَ ٢
Who are humble in their prayers.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Those who are humble in their prayer.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, humility is rooted in the heart and shows in the body: in the heart it is awareness of the Lord’s greatness and majesty; in the body it is stillness and not looking around.
Reflect
In one prayer today, keep your eyes on the place of prostration.
