Prostration or ‘sujood’ after the
prayer

Q527 :After finishing my prayer and before leaving
the mosque, I do a prostration during which I pray Allah for mercy and
other things. Some people object. Please netment.


A527 : Such a prostration, or sujood, is neither
necessary nor renetmended. We do a prostration of gratitude to Allah
when we hear some good news. We also prostrate ourselves at the time
when we read or hear certain verses of the Qur’an which mention
prostration in submission to Allah. [We also prostrate as netpensation
for an omission during prayers] Apart from this, no separate or
individual prostration is renetmended.
