Does listening to the Quran via a radio during prayer at home affect one's Khushu'?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever enters into prayer should bring their heart and mind to it and ponder what they recite, for Allah the Almighty says: "Successful indeed are the believers, those who humble themselves in their prayers." Opening a radio and listening to the Qur'an during prayer may distract one from pondering what the worshiper recites, and listening to the Qur'an from the radio has another time besides the time of prayer. Therefore, it is advised not to open the radio during prayer time, as this is closer to achieving a present heart.
