Islamic
Prayer and Yogasanas 9
In the preceding
few parts we discussed the various postures and positions of Islamic Prayer and
similarity between the postures and Yogasanas.
Islamic
prayer becomes a very good physical exercise if it is done properly in
the correct order
Position of
limbs and eyes vision is clearly prescribed and described for each posture. When
followed correctly it relieves s one of muscular cramps and joint pains.
Eye sight also improves.
As already
said, concentration in Prayer is very much emphasized without which Prayer
becomes mere ritual involving limb movements. This concentration is a very good
mental exercise
Holy verses
are recited in Prayer either loudly or silently. And one feels like being
watched by Almighty and feels a sensation of seeing Almighty. This constitutes
a very powerful spiritual exercise
Again the
recital of the Vedic verses and the normal changes in breathing pattern while
shifting from one position to other makes the Prayer a good meditation and
Pranayama
Congressional
prayer is good social outlet. After the prayer people exchange
pleasantries orally and bodily (shaking hands)
. Many social problems are discussed and solved in mosques
In a
nutshell Islamic Prayer is a total
and wholesome health practice .
World Health
Organization (WHO) defines health as follows:
It is a state of complete physical mental
and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
