THIS POST CHANGED MY LIFE IN MANY WAYS! (Please read) Prostrate With Your Heart .. Don’t lift your head off the floor until you get at least one Subhana Rabbiyal ‘Ala (Glory be to my Lord the Most-High) that comes from the heart, mind, tongue, and limbs. Zoom out; picture yourself like there’s a camera over you that goes up and up and up and help yourself with feeling and becoming small in front of Allah ‘azza wajal... Ask for at least three things you want in each sajdah. If Shaytaan comes to you telling you that you’re showing off if you make a long sujood, make it even longer.. Eliminate the thought of time from your mind. Picture yourself making sujood in Makkah, or imagine every single believer making sujood on the Last Day. Realize that Allah the Almighty has the complete power and right to destroy you right then and there for the millions of times you’ve slipped, made mistakes, etc. Put yourself in the shoes of a Muslim prisoner. Picture yourself doing sujood in a small, dirty cell with four walls closing in on you. Do sujood in random places and vary as much as you can, as every piece of ground you’ve prostrated on will testify for you on the Day of Judgement! If you can’t shed at least one tear in sujood or during prayer, then remember the sunnah of Umar (RadhiAllahu Anhu ) when he would pretend to cry if he couldn’t. Imagine Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam making sujood. Do sujood al-shukr ( the prostration of thankfulness). The Prophet (SallAllahu Alyhi Wa Sallam ) prostrated frequently in response to a calamity or a blessing that came to him! Revive this forgotten sunnah in your daily life! Let’s End With a Beautiful Incident From the Seerah Rabi’a bin Ka’b (RadhiAllahu Anhu), a companion of the Prophet ( SallAllahu Alyhi Wa Sallam ) said: I was with Allah’s Messenger (SallAllahu Alyhi wa Sallam ) one night and I brought him water and what he required. He said to me: “Ask [anything you like].”I said: “I ask your company in Paradise.” He said: “Anything else besides it?” I said: “That is all (that I require).” He said: “ Then help me to achieve this for you by devoting yourself often to prostration.” [Muslim] Sujood is the greatest thing a Muslim can do; it’s the one thing Shaytan wouldn’t do... O Allah, make us of the saajideen— make us increase our sujood, make our hearts present, elevate us through every sajdah, and erase our sins, Aameen ya Rabb...
