Did you know? There are approximately 14 places in the Noble Qur’an where it is expected of a person to perform Sajdatut-Tilāwah (a prostration) when the respective verse is heard or recited. These places are usually marked clearly in the Qur’an.
Abu Hurayrah (RA) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“When the son of Adam recites a verse of Sajdah and then prostrates, Shayṭān withdraws weeping and says: ‘Woe unto me! The son of Adam was commanded to prostrate, and he did so, and Paradise is for him. I was commanded to prostrate, but I disobeyed, and the Fire is for me.’”
(Sahih Muslim)
🕋 When and How to Do Sajdatut-Tilāwah
Sajdah should be performed immediately upon reciting the verse of Sajdah.
If delayed due to necessity, it should not be postponed unnecessarily.
What to say when prostrating:
سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ، وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ، بِحَوْلِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ، فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ
Sajada wajhiya lillathee khalaqahu, wa shaqqa sam'ahu wa basarahu bihawlihi wa quwwatihi. Fatabaarakallaahu 'ahsanul-khaaliqeen.
Meaning:
“I have prostrated my face to the One Who created it, and gave it hearing and sight by His might and His power. Glory is to Allah, the Best of creators.”
