The building of Islam is standing on five pillars.
Among these five pillars Salat is an important pillar. By offering Salat we
stands we stand, sit and bend in different and unique position. We all know
that there are many spiritual benefits of
offering Salat. Rest of these spiritual benefits there are a lot of
physical benefits of offering Salat. It is exercise for whole body. Sajdah is
often a unique position or stance within the regular prayers, which a Muslim is
meant to offer at least five times a day. Although the fundamental purpose
regarding obligatory prayers seriously isn't to provide an exercise for
individuals yet it's being progressively recognized so it has a lot of medical
advantages for our bodies. It is reported by Abu Hurrairah (RA) that Hazrat
Mohammad (PBUH) said that:-
"The nearest a servant comes to his Lord is when he is
prostrating himself, so make supplication.”
At another place it is narrated by Hazrat Aisha (RA)
that:-
“The Prophet (PBUH) used to prolong the prostration to such an extent
that one could recite fifty verses (of the Qur’an) before he would lift his
head.”
At another place it is narrated by Hazrat Ibn E
Abbas (RA) that:-
“The Prophet
(sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) advised Muslims to perform Ruku
(bowing) and Sajdah properly.”

Effect
of sajdah on muscles
When a person goes toward the position of Sajdah his
liver is within an active action. In this kind of position, the one who offers
prayer rests his forehead on the ground while his or her hands are placed at
the actual sides. This brings most of the body muscle tissue, if only a few, in
lively motion and provides them a few exercises.
The arms are then extended in a fashion such which
the forearm and also arm muscle tissue bear the actual weight inside Sajdah
placement. This is usually good exercise for that muscle of the upper arms or
legs. Beloved Prophet (PBUH), in a hadith advised people to not put the actual
forearms flatly on the ground but to maintain them increased above the floor.
From the actual physical standpoint, this is way better for the actual forearm
as well as arm muscle tissue.

Circulation
of Blood
Sajdah is really a unique situation as this is
actually the only position during which brain (or head) becomes below the
coronary heart, and hence the blood vessels gushes towards brain along with
full power, whereas in all other opportunities (even any time lying down)
mental performance is above the guts when it's to work against gravity to
deliver blood towards the brain.

of increased blood vessels supply, mental performance receives a lot more
nourishment, which has a good impact upon ram, vision, hearing, concentration,
psyche and all cognitive skills. People that offer their particular prayers

difficulties associated with life in greater ways. There're less at risk of
headaches, psychological problems and also other disorders with the cognitive
functions.

become more powerful. One can certainly note the particular tense pressure in
the neck muscles in the position associated with Sajdah, specially the
particular active motion in the neck and also the facial muscles if your head
