perfectly and let your face and hands touch the ground firmly, till all your joints settle in their positions’. (1)

In “Sifat Sal?tun Naby”, Im?m Al-Alb?n? stated that ‘the prophet ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) used to put his nose, fore head, knees, and toes on the ground perfectly’. (2)

Tuma’n?nah in Suj?d means to prostrate oneself on the seven bones -mentioned earlier- stretching the hands, bringing fingers close together, directing them towards the Qiblah, placing them [the hands] at the level of one’s shoulders or ears [alternatively], directing one’s toes towards the Qiblah, bringing the heels close together, erecting the feet, lifting arms from the ground and away from one’s sides till one’s armpits could be seen and stay still till all the joints are in their positions.

[3/ 21] Mistakes regarding the manner of doing Suj?d:

While discussing the previous point, we displayed the proper way of doing Suj?d which many muslims fail to practice and, consequently, fail to follow the prophet’s ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) manner while being in the position in which one is the most near to All?h ( - عز وجل -)!!

While being in the State of Suj?d, some muslims abandon the Sunnah of Taj?f? which is to lift one’s belly up wards away from one’s thighs and one’s arms away from one’s sides as far as possible provided one does not cause inconvenience to the one next to him. It also includes that one lifts one’s arms from the ground putting only his hands on it at the level of his shoulders or ears not at the knees. However, a muslim must not exaggerate in doing Taj?f? by straightening his back to an extent that he looks like the one lying on the ground. This is indeed a detested exaggeration. (3)
