Scientific advantages of prayer of a Muslim?

Answer 1

The Islamic prayer consists of the following steps: # standing with hands on top of each other at chest level # bowing down with hands resting on knees # standing up from bowing with hands by the side # going in prostration (sajjda) once # lifting face up from prostration but sitting on the ground # doing a second prostration (Sajjda) and then getting up These psysical movements that a Muslim does during prayer strenghten the joints and muscles and stimulate blood circulation. Consequently, they also prevent the stagnation of bloog in the veins of the legs (which may lead to coagulation and other problems). Sajdah 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 isn't to provide an exercise for people, it is being increasingly recognized that it has plenty of medical advantages. Sajdah is a unique position as this is the only position in which brain (or head) becomes lower than the heart and hence for the first time the blood gushes towards the brain with full force whereas in all other positions (even when lying) 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 receive more nourishment and it has good effect upon memory, vision, hearing, concentration, psyche and all other cognitive abilities. People who offer their prayers regularly have more will power and can cope with the difficulties of life in a much better manner. They have fewer incidences of headaches, psychological problems and other defects of cognitive function. http://www.armannd.com/prayers-and-health.html
