"Only those believe in Our Signs who, when they are recited to them, fall down in prostration, and celebrate the praises of their Lord, nor are they puffed up with pride." (Qur'an 32:15)

"They fall down on their faces, weeping, and it increases humility in them." (Qur'an 17:109)

"O, you who believe! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord, and do good, that happily you may prosper." (Qur'an 22:77)

Sajdah (prostration)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.

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), mentioned in a Hadeeth (narration) collected by Ibn Majah may Allah have mercy upon him that prayer is a cure for many diseases. A person who offers his prayers regularly, especially in the mosque, is protected from many ailments some of which he many not even know. The position of Sajdah in which the forehead touches the earth is exclusively associated with the Muslim form of prayer. It is the climax of a Muslim's prayer and as mentioned in a Hadeeth as the position in which a Muslim is nearest to Allah The Almighty.

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported in Saheeh Bukhari that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), said: "The nearest a servant comes to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication (in this state)."

Aa`ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrates that the Prophet , sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), used to prolong the prostration to such an extent that one could recite fifty verses (of the Quran) before he lifted his head. (Al-Bukhari).

In another Hadeeth narrated by Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, the Prophet , sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), advised Muslims to perform Ruku' (bowing) and Sajdah properly.

In another Hadeeth he advised to perform Sajdah and bowing calmly and to get up only when the body has come to ease.
In the supplication for the victory, he also performed a long bowing (Ruku') and Sajdah in the special prayers at the time of eclipse. Hence, the first positive effect upon a person who prostrates or does Sajdah is that he comes nearest to Allah The Almighty and hence in that condition he can supplicate. This is a great psychological advantage and it gives relief to the person concerned, as life is full of worries and in this position he gets at least a transient refuge and succor.

Effect on Muscles
When a person goes to the position of prostration Sajdah his whole body is in an active motion. In this position, the Musalli (the person who offers prayer) rests his forehead on the ground while his hands are placed at the sides. This brings most of the body muscles, if not all, in active motion and gives them some exercise.

The hands are then stretched out in a manner such that the forearm as well as arm muscles bear the weight in the Sajdah position. This is good exercise for the muscles of the upper limbs. The Prophet , sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), in a Hadeeth advised people not to put the forearms flatly on the ground but to keep them elevated above the ground. From the physical point of view, this is better for the forearm and arm muscles.

Effect on Blood Circulation
Sajdah is a unique position as this is the only position in which brain (or head) becomes lower than the heart, and hence the blood gushes towards the brain with full force, whereas in all other positions (even when lying down) the brain is above the heart when it has to work against gravity to send blood to the brain.

In the position of Sajdah, due to the increased blood supply, the brain receives more nourishment, which has a good effect upon memory, vision, hearing, concentration, psyche and all other cognitive abilities. People who offer their prayers regularly may have stronger willpower and can cope with the difficulties of life in much better ways. They are less vulnerable to headaches, psychological problems and other disorders of the cognitive functions.

Effect on Neck Muscles
In the unique position of Sajdah the neck muscles get the best exercise. They have to bear the load when the forehead touches the ground; hence, the neck muscles become stronger. One can note the tense pressure at the neck muscles in the position of Sajdah, specially the active motion of the neck and the facial muscles when the head is lifted. (e.g. one inch above the ground) and it will be observed that they are in a very active state.

Stronger cervical muscles mean the cervical vertebra will be better protected. The strength of the cervical muscles is important, as the head rests upon cervical vertebra, supported by cervical musculature.

In fact, the head performs rotator movements over the cervical vertebra. In case of an accident, examination of the cervical (neck) region is especially important to physicians.

It is uncommon that a person who offers his prayers regularly will get common neck ailments like myalgias or cervical spondylosis, because the neck muscles in particular become very strong due to the 34 Sajdahs offered daily in five prayers.

Effect on Internal Organs and Muscles
The position of the Sajdah is also said to be a good treatment for the retroversion of the uterus, a disease of women.
Most of us do not know that the position of Sajdah is an excellent exercise for men. While rising from Sajdah the perineal muscles pull the trunk back to sitting position and they contract actively. Similarly, while getting up from Sajdah, the perenial muscles are again actively mobilised and this gives strengthens the muscles associated with the male reproductive system.

The unique position of Sajdah also has positive effects upon the back muscles as while going into Sajdah and getting up from it the back muscle contract actively and they become stronger. Probably, it is because of this reason that a person who is regular in prayers seldom gets a backache.

After performing Sajdah either the Musalli stands up or he sits to pray. In this position the person sits calmly while his hands rest at his thighs which are folded backwards. This has a soothing effect upon one's health and mental condition.

Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), used to lengthen the position of Ruku' (bending) and Sajdah and advised others to do so, as well. In the light of the above facts it is appropriate to say that from the medical point of view this advice is a golden rule for health.

In conclusion, we should keep in mind that prayer is not meant to be an exercise. However, there are a lot of medical advantages associated with it. Still, the best blessing is the peace of mind, which a person derives by the accomplishment of his duty to Allah The Almighty by fulfilling an obligation.

All sorts of reasons to justify everything Islamic. I am sure someone can also come up with medical reasons to drink camel urine. Must religion be impinged on everything?

Even the prophets of old in the Bible made sudjood severally, as you will see many exoresssions like "AND HE FELL ON HIS Face" with sincerity to supplicate, praise,thank etc his lord...

But they are too proud to do so, rather they choose to entertain nowadays in the name of worship.

Jazakillah khairan. the beauty of Islam is endless.

Deteronomey 20:10-17(NIV)
10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates,all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.

16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you

We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves.

No wonder you all are being brainwashed in the church with all the common sense you claim to have, your pastors pick up the lines that favors their pocket and boom that's it you all gullible followers start worshiping ur "god of man" Let me educate you a lil incase you missed your GNS classes or you still too young to read. When reading any book, i repeat any book you read from the beginning you don't just jump to a portion and give it a meaning cuz that's the exact thing you looking for, did you read the line before that sentence or the one after it You the one who needs to grow up and study something before criticizing it... There's a lot of stores you can get English Quran and study it word for world. After doing that you come back here to tell me if that pic makes any sense or not.

Let examine the narrative from both scriptures (Quran and bible) mind you when reading Quran and bible, there are some verses you cannot qoute out of context, to start with Quran 2 vs 191, was misinterpreted out of context to get the message, take it from verse 190-193 (the section is the explanation reveal to the prophet for fighting in defence): Likewise the bible: -Kill people who don't listen to priest (Deuteronomy 17:12)
-whoever strike his father or mother shall be put to death (exodus 21:15)
-Kill nonbelievers (who do not seek the Lord, the God of Israel) (2 chronicles 15:13)
-Kill and destroy the entire town if they worship another God (Deuteronomy 13:13-19)
-Kill the follower of other religion (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)
-Death for oppressor (Leviticus 24:19-20)
-Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth (mathew 10:34-36)
-I came to cast fire upon the earth (Luke 12:49-54)
-Bring my enemy and slay them before me (Luke 19:27)
so read your bible very well before you criticize other.
