The Sajda of Submission The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The slave is closest to his Lord when he is prostrating, so increase supplication (in it).” [Muslim] A group of eight brothers stopped by a service station beside a highway to perform the Maghrib prayer. One of the brothers gave the Adhan (call to prayer). Two non-Muslim men were passing by when the Adhan was being called. Being curious, they came to the brothers and asked them who they were, where they came from and what they were doing. They answered their questions and one of the brothers discussed Islam with the non-Muslim men for a couple of minutes. Then the brothers prepared to offer the Salah. The non-Muslims who were standing by asked what they should be doing now. The brothers told them to join the prayer and just follow along. The two men decided to join the prayer. The Imam recited Surah Fatiha and another Surah after it. Then he went into Ruku and both the non-Muslims did the same. When time for Sajda (prostration on the ground) came, the non-Muslims hesitated and didnt know whether they should also prostrate on the ground or not as they had never done so before. One of them decided not to and left the prayer. However, the other one just went into Sajda. After the prayer, the person who agreed to prostrate to Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) was blessed with Eeman and he accepted Islam from the brothers. Brothers and sisters, this is what we have to do: We have to submit to the will of Allah and in return He will bless us with Eeman. On the other hand, a person who is arrogant and decides not to submit to the will of Allah may just be deprived of Eeman. May Allah subhaanahuu wataala make it easy for us ameen, Sabahul khair 2 all my Muslims ummah
