We can develop khushoo' in our Salah by focusing our hearts and thoughts on Allah. Three ways we can achieve this are:
1. Understanding what we are saying while we are praying.
2. Being in a calm place with no distractions.
3. Praying while we are in a state of relaxation.
How, then, can we get closest to Allah while in prayer? Answer: in Sujud.
In an authentic hadith: Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The servant is closest to his Lord during prostration, so increase your supplications therein.”
