Its root in the classical dictionaries
الخشوع: الضراعة، وأكثر ما يستعمل الخشوع فيما يوجد على الجوارح. والضراعة أكثر ما تستعمل فيما يوجد في القلب ولذلك قيل فيما روي: روي: «إذا ضرع القلب خشعت الجوارح» . قال تعالى: ويزيدهم خشوعا [الإسراء/ 109] ، وقال: الذين هم في صلاتهم خاشعون
قوله تعالى: ﴿الذين هم في صلاتهم خاشعون﴾ [المؤمنون:2] أي تائبون متذللون. والخشوع: الخضوع والتذلل. قال الليث: الخشوع قريب المعنى من الخضوع، إلا أن الخضوع في البدن والخشوع في القلب والبصر والصوت. قلت: ويشهد لذلك قوله: ﴿فظلت أعناقهم لها خاضعين﴾ [الشعراء:4]، ﴿أن تخشع قلوبهم﴾ [الحديد:16]، ﴿وخشعت الأصوات﴾ [طه:108] أي انخفضت.…
And there are, certainly,
Among the People of the Book,
Those who believe in God,
In the revelation to you,
And in the revelation to them,
Bowing in humility to God:
They will not sell
The Signs of God
For a miserable gain!
For them is a reward
With their Lord,
And God is swift in account.
So We listened to him:
And We granted him
Yaḥyā: We cured his wife's
(Barrenness) for him. These (three)
Were ever quick in emulation
In good works: they used
To call on Us with love
And reverence, and humble themselves
Before Us.
For Muslim men and women,—
For believing men and women,
For devout men and women,
For true men and women,
For men and women who are
Patient and constant, for men
And women who humble themselves
For men and women who give
In charity, for men and women
Who fast (and deny themselves),
For men and women who
Guard their chastity, and
For men and women who
Engage much in God's praise,—
For them has God prepared
Forgiveness and great reward.
And among His Signs
In this: thou seest
The earth barren and desolate;
But when We send down
Rain to it, it is stirred
To life and yields increase.
Truly, He Who gives life
To the (dead) earth
Can surely give life
To (men) who are dead.
For He has power
Over all things.
And thou wilt see them
Brought forward to the (Penalty),
In a humble frame of mind
Because of (their) disgrace,
(And) looking with a stealthy
Glance. And the Believers
Will say: "Those are indeed.
In loss. who have given
To perdition their own selves
And those belonging to them
On the Day of Judgment.
Behold! Truly the wrong-doers
Are in a lasting Penalty!"
Had We sent down
This Qur-ān on a mountain,
Verily, thou wouldst have seen
It humble itself and cleave
Asunder for fear of God.
Such are the similitudes
Which We propound to men,
That they may reflect.
Their eyes will be
Cast down,—ignominy will
Cover them; seeing that
They had been summoned
Aforetime to bow in adoration,
While they were whole,
(And had refused).
