EXPLANATIONS:
Prostration is an act of worship in Islam and it is done when certain verses from the Quran are recited. This hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah tells us that even Prophet Muhammad himself prostrated himself along with his companions when they heard certain verses being recited. These verses were "When the sky is rent asunder" and "Recite in the name of Your Lord Who created". This shows us how important it is to show respect to Allah's words and to take them seriously. It also teaches us that we should not take our faith lightly but instead strive to live according to its teachings. We should also remember that Allah's words are powerful and can bring about great change if we follow them faithfully.
