recent scientific studies that Islamic

prayer far from having many spiritual

specifically on the structure and

asalam alayum welcome to we talk

Islam the position of prostration also

known as sjda or sujud in the Arabic

language is a position in which the

forehead touches the Earth and it is

exclusively associated with the Muslim

form of prayer it is the climax of a

muslim's prayer and as mentioned in a

Hadith as the position in which a Muslim

is nearest to his creator Allah the

almighty in the ever evolving scientific

world we often come across discoveries

that reveal the amazing connection

between religion and science one such

example is the research on the sujud

position in prayer which has attracted

the attention of many researchers

especially in the field of Neuroscience

not only they have found in sujud a

depth spirituality but also various

tangible medical and health benefits in

this video we explore the scientific

perspective on the position of sujud and

the Wonders revealed through research

the sujud or saga is a unique position

or stance in the regular prayers which a

Muslim is supposed to offer at least

five times a day although the basic

purpose of obligatory prayers is not to

provide exercise yet it is being

increasingly recognized that it has

plenty of medical advantages for the

human body Prophet Muhammad peace be

upon him said that prayer is a cure for

many diseases so a person who offers his

prayers regularly is protected from many

ailments some of which he may not even

know in an authentic Hadith Prophet

Muhammad peace be upon Him advised

Muslims to perform sujud and Ruku calmly

and to get up only when the body has

come to ease hence the first positive

effect Upon A person who prostrates or

does sjda is that he comes nearest to

Allah the almighty and so in that

condition he can supplicate this is a

great psychological advantage because it

gives relief to the person concerned as

life is full of worries in this position

the person gets at least a transient

Refuge which gives him calmness and hope

let's now see the health benefits of the

sujud position as confirmed by

scientific studies one of the most

interesting studies entitled health

benefits of Salat published in the

professional medical journal in

2016 the researchers found that mus

prayer is important as a ritual and

physical activity because all muscles of

the body are activated more than any

form of physical exercise without

fatigue and stimulate Serenity in body

and soul and have long-term health

benefits on healthy as well as on

diseased people in a study entitled an

ergonomic study of body motions during

Muslim prayer using digital human

modeling the researchers compared

digital models suffering from back pain

with healthy ones the results showed

that the suit suju movement in prayer

has a positive effect on the health of

the back according to the researchers

the suju position in prayer can improve

joint elasticity and help heal back pain

in a study entitled assessment of heart

rates and blood pressure in different

prayer positions published in the

Journal of physiotherapy science in 2013

the research has found that the sujud

position increases basil metabolic rate

reduces body fat and gives healthy body

composition this is because the process

of prayer is low to moderate intensity

form of regular exercise spanning

between 10 and 20 minutes up to 5 times

daily this raises the heartbeat

increasing blood flow around the body

and giving strength and stamina to the

heart muscles in addition walking from

the house or place of work to the mosque

for Salah earns a weekly 30 minutes

requirement of exercise per day at least

five times per week in 2018 in an

extensive study entitled physical

benefits of prayer they found that in

the sujud position the head is in a

position lower than the heart and

therefore receives increased blood

supply to the brain stimulating the

brain's frontal cortex and in turn

reduces the chances of brain hemorrhage

and headache and helps to reduce high

blood pressure this surge in blood

supply also has a positive effect on

memory concentration psyche and other

cognitive abilities a biology Professor

from Texas in the United States is a

woman who could converted to Islam after

researching The Miracle of the sujud

position Dr fidelma oi who works as a

professor of neuroscience at the

University of Texas and a neurology

doctor at hospital was amazed by the

result of her study on the nerves of the

human brain she discovered that the

sujud position increases the strength of

blood flow to the brain especially to

the hippocampus a region that's crucial

to memory in fact even though human

brain makes up only 2% of the body

weight it uses 20% of the oxygen and

blood flow in the body therefore

increasing the brain blood flow can

decrease the risk of Alzheimer's and

vascular dementia among other benefits

and one way to do this is by putting

oneself in the sujud position because in

this position the blood is pumped

instantaneously to brain nerves after

this discovery of the benefits of sujud

for health and other discoveries she

made in her research Dr fidelma

pronounced the shahada and became Muslim

a very simple message there's God

worship God then she decided to share

her knowledge with others through her

medical practice by opening a clinic

called treatment with the Quran where

she uses verses from the Quran and

recommendation from the Hadith of the

Prophet Muhammad in the treatment of her

patients the clinic provides various

Islamic treatment methods including the

use of fasting honey and olive oil among

others in accordance with the

instructions from the Quran and the

Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad peace be

upon him the health benefits of sujud by

lowering the body to the ground have

been proved by various scientific

studies here is the summary of the most

important benefits number one sujud

allows adequate supply of oxygen to the

brain during sujud the position of the

heart is above the brain so blood can

flow better into the body this allows an

adequate supply of oxygen to the brain

which plays an important role in

improving the function of billions of

nerve cells in the the body smooth

oxygen flow to the brain also helps

relieve headaches sharpen the mind and

improve one's mental quality number two

improves the state of the spine and back

while prostrating the hip joint and

spine are stretched to the maximum and

this calls for the lengthening of the

nerves due to the stretch experienced in

the entire vertebral column this helps

curtail lower back injuries and pain

such as sciatica number three smooth

breathing during sujud the movement of

the body that presses on the diaphragm

area helps smooth breathing this is very

beneficial especially for individuals

with breathing problems or disorders

such as asthma sujud also helps to open

up the respiratory tract and improve

loan capacity number four the movements

of rukuu and sujud in prayer can help

improve posture increase joint

flexibility strengthen muscles and

increase the flow of blood and oxygen to

various parts of the body in inclusion

the Islamic prayer is more than a form

of worship for a Believer understanding

the wisdom and benefits associated with

Salah from not just a spiritual aspect

but from a physiological point of view

is truly inspirational it helps draw us

closer to our creator out of his love

and mercy for prescribing these acts of

worship upon us may Allah help us

connect with him at a deeper level

spiritually as well as physically

assalam alayum
