Prostration In Islam by NobleStag007(op): 7:18am On Mar 31, 2025
Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anything other than Allaah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no woman will fulfill her duty towards her Lord unless she fulfills her duty towards her husband.”
(Hadeeth reported by Ibn Maajah, 1843; see also Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5239, 5295).

Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “It is not right for any human being to prostrate to another; if it were right for one human being to prostrate to another, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands because of the great rights that they have over them. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were covered from head to foot with weeping sores oozing pus, and his wife were to come to him and lick his sores (to clean them), this would not fulfill the rights he has over her.’”
(Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 12153; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 7725).

Prostration is a physical gesture of submission, respect, and humility. It involves kneeling or lying down on the ground, often with one's forehead or face touching the earth.

Religious Significance
Prostration is a fundamental act of worship in many religions, including:

1. *Islam*: Muslims perform prostration (sajdah) during daily prayers (salah) to show submission to Allah.
2. *Christianity*: Some Christian denominations practice prostration during prayer or worship, symbolizing humility and surrender to God.
3. *Buddhism*: In some Buddhist traditions, prostration is a way to show respect and devotion to the Buddha or other enlightened beings.
4. *Hinduism*: Prostration (dandavat) is a common practice in Hindu worship, demonstrating devotion and surrender to the divine.

Cultural Significance
Prostration has cultural significance in various societies, representing:

1. *Respect*: Prostration is a way to show respect and deference to authority figures, elders, or spiritual leaders.
2. *Humility*: Prostration symbolizes humility and a willingness to surrender one's ego.
3. *Gratitude*: Prostration can express gratitude and appreciation for blessings or guidance received.


Something that's an act of worship.. even in cultural setting, it means to SUBMIT YOURSELF TO. Doing that for human being is insanely insane.

As a Muslim, nothing concerns us with philosophical approaches or logic.


What did Quran say, what did prophet said, how did the Sahabahs understood it. That's your concern as a Muslim and it has been posted.




Prostrating for creatures of Allah nullifies your Islam. Makes you a disbeliever, a kafir

What did the any of the 4 Imam (madhhabs) says about it?
Talking about prostration, it's not about kneeling down or bowing, it's about obeisances and submission.
At least we worship Allah while standing too, does that mean our Islam is nullified by greeting anybody while standing?

For you to see the Hadith...as clear as it is... you are still arguing about it..

Your case is beyond pitiful.
Go read suratul fusilat 35-36-37

No single Salafiyah scholars call prostrating to be sin.. go read majmoo fatawa

IN OTHER WORD, YOUR "GOD/QURAN" COMMANDS YOU NOT TO BE RESPECTING ELDERS/LEADERS.(Your types need to be executed before you fully become Boko harm)

Anyway, wen religion takes common sense, owner of such skull would be roaming about and reasoning like lunatic.

Not until you understand that, God is in spirit,and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and truth, you would continue reasoning and behaving line stupid person, infact becomes endangered for people around you.

.......you think ur fellow Muslim can't prostrate and yet heardned mind against God?

Why you so much biliv, someone must do physical gesture (prostration) before you can convince, that the person is truly worship God?

Is bow down for elder now equivalent to prostrations for God Almighty, the significant of prostration in both, is nothing but just respect.

The numbers are staggering; a Satanic presence overshadows all of the West, fueled by literal demons."

As usual, every small thing underage marriage, an 8-year-old no concrete evidence, just constant hostility and insults. That’s what you all always do. People like you… with time, you’ll come to understand . { Q 4:87 - Allah, there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He will certainly gather ˹all of˺ you together on the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s? }

Islam is anti Yoruba culture. Yoruba culture teaches us to prostrate, but Islam says no.

This means Islam is not for us in Yoruba land.

Why do you Muslim mods block people who criticize Islam? Are you trying to say there is something hideous about Islam that you are trying to hide?

If Islam is true religion, you people won't be scared of criticism and block anyone who criticize you.

This is cold and hateful.

It's a miracle that there are still willing women in Islam.

1. Nobody blocks anyone but someone one sees to be making fun of Islam needs to be blocked
2. Yoruba is a culture. We're created to worship and practice Islam. When we die, Allah won't ask if one is a Yoruba or Igbo but will ask if one is a Muslim
3. Nothing hideous about Islam. You are the one that's probably ignorant about it.

Ask whatever you want to ask about Islam. We'll answer you

In Islam..
Prostrating is not RESPECT.

GO READ SURATUL FUSILAT VERSE 36-38
ALLAH SAID PROSTRATION IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP.

IF YOU AS A MUSLIM PREFERS THE VALUES OF YORUBA OVER ISLAMIC VALUES.. YOU ARE SAME AS CHRISTIAN

If you are my younger brother and you don’t prostrate while greeting our parents, I will beat you till you become unconscious.

The Prophet (SAW) sayings will not nullify our Culture, only Allah can command such. Don’t be unfortunate in life. The Prophet (SAW) didn’t know about Yoruba Culture when he gave the advice and so didn’t put our Culture into consideration, only Allah is all knowing.

Least you forget, I am a Muslim.
