Khushu: a prerequisite for the re-establishment of the Islamic way of life!

[firdaus]

Assalamu 'alaykum Wr Wb,

As an extension to the "Salat Week" after dhuhr talks at the Usyd musalla, we'll be posting portions of an excellent article by Hamza Andreas Tzortzis (http://hamzatzortzis.blogspot.com/) on perfecting ones' khushu in prayer and the strong connection it can have on our daily lives and Islamic work.

I got this idea from another Islamic forum, so I thought I'd try it here. :) And the reason why I'm posting them in parts is because its always easier for us to take things in smaller servings than having the whole piece all at once! Especially with the amount of reading many of us have to do for uni anyway. So enjoy.
