Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated himself (while reciting these verses)". When the heaven burst asunder" ;" Read in the name of Thy Lord".
The act of prostration is a form of worship known as salat, which Muslims perform five times a day in order to connect with Allah and express their gratitude for His blessings. By following this example set by our beloved Prophet, we can strive to make our salat more meaningful and sincere by showing humility before Allah through prostration during our prayers.
