| Muslim man in Sujud position |
As Muslims have been told severally, every
single thing that has been commanded in the Qur’an and Sunnah of Muhammad (SAW)
is to the benefit of mankind. Another piece of evidence to that effect surfaced
last week when a Professor at Binghamton University, Muhammad Khasawneh,
published his findings which showed that performing the Ruku and Sujud postures
of Salah (Muslim prayer) properly created certain pressures in the lower back
which improves the elasticity of joints in the region. Researchers analysed
statistics based on the movements of computer-generated digital human images of
healthy Indian, Asian, and American men and women, and models with lower back
pain. According to Khasawneh, "The
maximum compression forces created during prayer postures is much lower than
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) safety limits,
and the movements can be safely considered a clinical treatment for low back
pain, as it requires different movements of the human body on a regular basis. The
kneeling posture (sujud) increases the elasticity of joints. It is recommended
for these individuals to spend more time in the kneeling posture". Professor
Muhammad Khasawneh’s findings have been published in the International Journal
of Systems Engineering. Present era scientific researches have shown the health
benefits of Islamic practices such as fasting long hours over several days.
