The Prophet’s neighbour
Paradise, the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم advised him to perform abundant prostrations.
From this, we understand that performing abundant prostration is a practice that brings us closer to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in Paradise. سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه What an easy deed this is!
To achieve this, we can offer our five daily salah (including obligatory, Sunna, and optional units), amounting to 48 units in total. With 2 prostrations in each unit, that becomes 96 prostrations. Adding even just 2 units of tahajjud brings it to 100 prostrations. Including a minimum of 4 units for ishrāq and ḍuḥā prayers brings it to 108. With the 6 units of awwābīn, it totals 120. Two units of ṣalāt al-tawba along with taḥiyyat al-wuḍūˈ and taḥiyyat al-masjid, bring the total to 132.
Additionally, there are 14 verses of prostration in the Quran, and prostrating for each one after reciting them is an excellent litany for the fulfilment of both worldly and religious needs.[1]
It takes about 10 to 12 minutes to perform these 14 prostrations, bringing the total number of prostrations which are easily achievable within a single day to 146.
What a simple practice! By making it a habit to perform abundant prostrations, what will we gain? Closeness to Allah and the honour of being the Prophet’s neighbour in Paradise! سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه
Dear Islamic brothers! Another virtuous deed that leads to being the
