Abstract

The Khauf prayer is a form of Islamic prayer performed in situations of distress or fear, and has been the focus of discussion and research in the Islamic academic tradition. In this regard, it is interesting to examine further Imam al-Ghazali's views regarding the kauf prayer. The purpose of this article is to analyze al-Ghazali's thoughts about the Khauf prayer using a library telescope approach. This article examines al-Ghazali's views regarding the concept, philosophy and practice of Khauf prayer through a study of al-Ghazali's major works such as 'Ihya ul-Muddin and al-Mustasfa, as well as other related works. Al-Ghazali views the khauf prayer not only as an obligatory ritual, but also as a means to achieve deeper spiritual awareness. For him, Khauf's prayer is a call to increase awareness of God's presence in all situations, including emergencies. Imam Al-Ghazali emphasized the importance of concentration and complete obedience in prayer, even in the midst of fear and anxiety. Furthermore, al-Ghazali emphasized ethical and moral aspects in carrying out the Khauf prayer. He emphasized the importance of justice, understanding and mutual respect between parishioners when worshiping together. According to al-Ghazali, the Khauf prayer is not only a means of strengthening personal relationships with Allah, but also as a means of strengthening social bonds between people. The implications of al-Ghazali's thinking provide valuable guidance.
