Solat....(Prayer)

As a Muslim solat(prayer) is a must for us in everyday’s life. In a day we must say prayer five times starting from fajr,Dhuhr,Asr,Maghrib,and Isha'. There are many benefits in performing the prayer. Beside showing our humble and gratitude to Allah, solat also is a form of exercise.

Movements in solat have a certain meaning to our body. By saying our prayer we can exercise our muscles and bones especially the backbone. Every movement we make in saying the prayer contribute something such as when we stand still our backbone can be trained to be straight and this may avoid it from bending forward and creating a hump on our back.

When we bend down for ruku' our hand muscle being train to withstand the weight of or body and our backbone also will be in a straight condition. When our backbone is straight, automatically our ribs will be open wide and it will make us breath smoothly because there is no blockade on our lungs.

When we breathe freely and fully the amount of oxygen that enters our body will be more. With the huge amount of oxygen will make the blood carry a lot of oxygen throughout our body and to the brain. Brain with a full oxygenated blood will make a better performance in helping us to think brilliantly.

That is the beautiful secret in solat that we may not aware of. Keeping our solat perfect for five times a day may avoid us to spend more time in normal exercises.

Again the knowledge I shared I learn it from a book. The title of this book is “Kuasa Di Sebalik Solat(The Power Of Solat)” It was written by ‘Syaikh Jalal Muhammad Syaffi’ and translated to bahasa melayu by ‘Norhasanuddin’. This book tells all the power within the solat. Every movement has its own secret and benefit for us. By reading this book will make us realized that solat is not just an empty movement besides performing our humble and gratitude to Allah. Islam is beautiful and Allah is fair. ‘He’ will not make us do something that will give harm but ‘He’ makes us do something for greatness because Allah is great
