Successful are the believers,
Those who offer their salaah
with
all solemnity and full submissiveness.
Surah al Muminoon
(23:1-2)
Khushoo’ is considered to be the soul of the salaah and its essence.
(Source)
Khushoo
is a position of total and extreme submissiveness and humility in front of the
Deity in Truth and the quiescence/tranquillity of the heart and the limbs. One
does not move except where commanded and is not at ease except where commanded.
It is an obligation in action due to the necessity of obedience and the
abandonment of disobedience to the Deity in Truth. Whoever discharges this
obligation during the prayer then contradicts it (behaves otherwise) upon
departing from the prayer he has caused diminution/annulment of (his Khushoo')
to the extent of his disobedience.

excellent!
Excerpt:
"A misunderstanding of some people is: They feel
uncomfortable after prayer when they get Waswaas and they want to repeat the
prayer. Know that, this is not the correct thinking. This is contrary to the
Sunnah. For if the person has fulfilled all conditions, pillars and obligations
of the prayer he has given the prayer its due rights and is free from the
responsibility. When he does something that is not required to do, he has
performed an act against the Sunnah."
