The adhkar, or rememberances of Allah after the prayer help to strengthen khushu in the heart and reinforce the blessings and benefits of the prayer.
Without a doubt, one of the best ways of preserving and protecting a good action is to follow it up with another. So the one who thinks about the adhkaar that come after the prayer will find that they begin with seeking forgiveness three times, as if the worshipper is seeking forgiveness from his Lord for any shortcomings that may have occurred in his prayer or his khushu.
It is also important to pay attention to naafil or supererogatory prayers, because they make up for anything lacking in the fard or obligatory prayers, including any failure with regard to khushu.
