📚 A Summary of Islāmic Jurisprudence

🌿1 •→ It is a Sunnah.

🌿2 •→ It is done due to a reason, i.e. due to recitation of certain Āyāt from the Qur’ān.

🌿3 •→ It is an act of worship ordained by Allāh and His Messenger -l[ﷺ]l-.

🌿4 •→ It is to be done by the one who is reciting and the one who is listening.

🌿5 •→ ❝Whenever the Prophet -l[ﷺ]l- recited the Sūrah that contained the Āyah of Prostration, he -l[ﷺ]l- would prostrate and the Companions would do the same with him.❞ [Sahīhain].

🌿6 •→ There are 15 places of Prostrations in the Qur’ān marked with a special symbol (۩).

i •→ Sūrah al-A’rāf (7): 206

ii •→ Sūrah al-Rād (13): 15

iii •→ Sūrah al-Nahl (16): 49

iv •→ Sūrah al-Isrā’ (17): 107

v •→ Sūrah Maryam (19): 58

vi •→ Sūrah al-Hajj (22): 18

vii •→ Sūrah al-Hajj (22): 77

viii •→ Sūrah al-Furqān (25): 60

ix •→ Sūrah al-Naml (27): 25

x •→ Sūrah al-Sajdah (32): 15

xi •→ Sūrah Sād (28); 24

xii •→ Sūrah al-Fussilat (41): 37

xiii •→ Sūrah al-Najm (53): 62

xiv •→ Sūrah al-Inshiqāq (84): 21

xv •→ Sūrah al-Alaq (96): 19

🌿7 •→ When going into prostration, one should say the Takbîyr (Allāhu-Akbar) as reported by Ibn Umar -l[رَضِّيْ اْلَّـلهُ عَنْهُ]l- [Sunan Abū Dāwūd].

🌿8 •→ In Prostration of Recitation one should say:
-l[سبحان ربي الأعلى]l-
(Sub-hāna Rabbiyal-A’lā) like one does in regular prayer,

🌿9 •→ One may also say the following:
-l[اللهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ، وَصَوَّرَهُ، وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ، تَبَارَكَ اللهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ]l-

(O Allāh, it is to You that I prostrate myself, and it is in You that I affirm my Faith, and I submit to You. My face is submitted before One Who created it, and shaped it, and opened his faculties of hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allāh, the best of Creators) [Sahīh Muslim and the 4 Books of Sunan].

💢 Additional points: 💢

🌿10 •→ One does not have to be in purification (Tahārah/Wudhū) to make the Prostration of Recitation. [Shaikh Ibn Bāz].

🌿11 •→ A person should prostrate on the seven parts of his body like he does in regular prayer:

i •→ his face (including the nose)

ii •→ his two palms

iii •→ his two knees

iv •→ his two feet

🌿12 •→ There is no Taslîym (saying Salāms to the either side) after doing the Prostration of Recitation. [Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymîyn – Sharh al-Mumti].

🌿13 •→ One does not have to stand up to go into Prostration of Recitation. The person goes into prostration in whichever state he is in – either standing or sitting. [Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymīyn – Sharh al-Mumti’].
