Why Muslim bow they face touching the ground when they pray Its because Prophet Abraham do it?

Question

Genesis 18: 1-4

Answer 1

Thanks for asking this question, very intellegent question if i may say so!

indeed All prophets Prostrated (face touching ground) to Allah.

It's a sign of Humility. and to not prostrate to him is a sign of arrogance.

because, if you look at the story of when God created Adam, he told satan to prostrate before him. but Satan was arrogant and said he was better than Adam (peace be upon him) because he was made from fire, while adam was made from dirt/clay.

So it's one of the signs of pride and arrogance, and one of the traits of satan himself not to prostrate to the Lord of the universe; Allah.

Wallahu alem(and Allah knows best!)

Answer 2

Nowhere have I read that Abraham was a prophet, He believed God and it was counted to him as righteous. I think Muslims bow the face to the ground, because they know they are but dust.

Answer 4

There is another inner meaning for this, when you touch your head to the ground you put your head lower than your heart. When you do this, the connection of the divine guidance in your heart is made over and above your mental constructs. In other words, in this posture your follow your heart to connect with God.

Answer 5

yeah, all prophets (peace be upon them)did this, because God told them (and other Muslims too) to bow down to Him but in the direction of the kaaba, which by the way, Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) built.

I'm a catholic with a muslim sister. I admire the muslims when they pray because its the proper way to worship.

Answer 8

It is a display of obedience and respect. But they sould be doing that with God and not with anyone else.

Answer 9

i think it is because they are stooping low to god and asking for forgivness and worshipping him. that is why they pray towards Mecca because the house of god is there so they point to him.

Answer 10
