Intention Vs Action
I ask because of these two ayahs in the Quran that appreciate the two aspects of Namaz; inner and outer. Surah Maarij, verse 23. 23. And are constant in their Prayer. (al-Ma‘ārij, 70 : 23) Surah Muminoon, verse 2. (23:2) those who, in their Prayers, humble themselves. Is it that only by being constant/regular in your prayers lead you to be humble. And by my regularity and outer aspects will I myself be able to judge where I stand in terms of khushu (humility) before Allah and gage my level of faith?
