Inner Dimensions Of The Prayer - Ibn al-Qayyim

Inner Dimensions of the Prayer by Imām Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله is a spiritual work focused on the deeper meanings and inner states connected to ṣalāh.

Rather than discussing only the outward rulings of prayer, Ibn al-Qayyim explains how a believer should approach the prayer with khushūʿ, sincerity, humility, concentration, love of Allah, hope, fear, and awareness of standing before Him.

The book helps readers understand how the different parts of the prayer can affect the heart and strengthen one’s relationship with Allah. It also addresses some of the distractions and spiritual weaknesses that can prevent a person from fully benefiting from ṣalāh.

It is especially beneficial for those seeking to improve the quality of their prayer, increase khushūʿ, and better understand the spiritual purpose of worship.
