Sajdah, is a Litmus Test. It's an act that distinguishes the faithful from the faithless. It was the inaugural commandment given by Allah in the story of Adam's creation, marking the genesis of humanity's journey. This singular act of worship demarcated the obedient from the disobedient, the humble from the arrogant, and the righteous from the wicked.
The divine decree to prostrate was a watershed moment that separated the angels from the devils...عرض المزيد

As believers the act of sujood is reserved ONLY for our Rabb and Khaliq.
The earth, the place of prostration reminds us that we were created from the element of sticky clay ‘tinin lazib’ (37:11); clay that is a cohesive yet pliable element formed to give us our individual shapes.

An amazing similarity. In the story of Adam, after asking the angels to name the things that he taught Adam, they admitting to not knowing. So upon Adam proving his superiority in knowledge, Allah asked the angels to prostrate to him. Also in the story of Yousef, after the king asked the interpreters to explain his dream, they were unable to do so, so once Yousef was able to do so after their inability, it resulted in his elevation in status as i...عرض المزيد

Allah made it clear there is a greater wisdom in his creation than meets the eye that only the All knowi...عرض المزيد

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
I had read a few translations of the Qur’an several times during my teenage years. I was marvelled by the science of the Qur’an. Yet, I didn’t really contemplate about the Prophets peace be upon them all, the Day of Judgment and death. I believe I had not ‘experienced’ much about life and especially I had not suffered much loss during my youth.
