Salat is one of the five fundamental requirements that a Muslim is obligated to perform.Salat is given the highest priority in the Holy Quran. There are many benefits of salat described in the book of Allah. It says,"Surely Prayers restrains one from indecency."
According to a Hadith the Prophet of Islam ( peace be upon him)is reported to have said, inna fissalati shifa'a 'verily there is cure in salat. According to Muslim Scholar- a Muslim who offers salat regularly has very little chance of getting arthrities as we exercise our bones and joints while we offer salat.
In the light of Hadith we will try to know some health benefits of salat:
Regular exercise reduces cholesterol in the body. Cholesterol causes heart failures, strokes, diabetes and many other diseases.It is a known fact that people in professions where exercise is required have less amount of cholesterol in their bodies.
Salat is an excellent form of exercise to prevent indigestion. In the morning where stomach is empty, a Muslim is required to offer fewer number of Rak'aat whereas in the evening after the dinner we offer an extra number of Rak'aat.
By offering Takbir at the beginning of the salat, we move hand and shoulder muscles thereby increasing the flow of blood towards torso.Akamat performs a similar function.
The most important function in salat is sajdah where we touch the ground with our forehead.This posture increases fresh supply of blood to our brain. Needless to say in certain forms of yoga some adherents stand on their heads for the same purpose.
In Thasah'hud position, our hip, elbow, knee joints, backbones, wrist joints move in a way that it provides a form of relaxation to our entire body. Pressure is applied on the body parts as if it is a kind of massage which releases tension.
Heart is the most important organ in the body.It supplies fresh blood to all body tissues.These body movements performed during salt are an excellent source of exercise for our heart as well.According to a hadith of the Holy Prophet, " There is an organ in the body, when it is healthy,The whole body is healthy,and when this is sick,the entire body becomes sick." It is the heart.
Salat has many orthopedic benefits for all Muslims. Next time when you offer salt, thank Almighty Allah that he made you a Muslim.Indeed,there is cure in salat.
