Ibn Taymiyyah's fatwa about the language of the hereafter

It is fitting for a student that he begins with memorization of the Book of Allah -since it is the greatest of the branches of knowledge and that which should be placed first and given precedence.

The basic meaning of khushu` is the softness of the heart, its being gentle, still, submissive, broken, and yearning. When the heart is humble, so too is the hearing, seeing, head, and face; indeed all the limbs and their actions are humbled, even speech.

The Book of Allah, Mighty and Magnificent, shows that whoever finds what Allah loves hard to bear is blameworthy in the religion and receives Allah’s displeasure. Censure and displeasure only come ones way when an obligation is left or a prohibition is committed. Therefore if those who do not have khushu` are censured, its obligation is proven.
