Harvard University —considered one of the crème de la crème universities in the world— has revealed that a posture position similar to that of the Sujood is the “best medicine” to treat back pain.


Sujood is the act of prostrating before God in the direction of the Holy Kaaba (Qibla) during the Salah prayers that Muslims offer five times a day.

In Islam, Sujood is considered a great form of worship, and it is the position where a person is the nearest to God Almighty.
