He says that feeling nothing in prayer often comes from not avoiding distractions, such as bringing a mobile phone into the mosque, which keeps your mind on the phone instead of God.102:42 He explains that khushu is not something to be created separately; it is already in your nature, but you cover it with conditioning and distractions, so you need to decondition yourself by breaking away from those distractions.63:48 He advises that even if other thoughts come during prayer, you should continue to ponder the Quran, because the goal is not to have an empty mind but to keep engaging with God's words.23:51 He gives a clear criterion: true prayer instills a spirit of modesty, and if arrogance or egoism remain after prayer, then the prayer has not been truly performed.3:23
