Respect for God’s words in holy books ; Live according to God’s teachings ; Strive towards attaining His pleasure

This hadith narrates that Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, as well as someone even better than them prostrated during reciting certain verses from the Quran. It is a sign of respect for the words of Allah in the holy book. The act of prostration is an expression of humility before God's greatness and power. It also serves to remind us to stay humble in our daily lives and to remember that we are all servants before God's will. We should strive to live our lives according to His teachings so that we can attain His pleasure.
