Narrated by Rabiah ibn Ka'b al-Aslami, that one night he had to provide a bucket of water ablution and other necessities required the Prophet Muhammad. Seeing the good done by Rabiah, the Prophet said to him, "Ask something of me, O Rabiah."

Rabiah also mentioned his request. "Messenger of Allah, I ask that God made me as the best man in heaven someday." Prophet asked, "Is there no demand other than that?"

"No, O King of the Prophet. That's all I wanted to ask you, "said Rabiah. "If so, then guard yourselves to reproduce prostration." (Reported by Muslim).

Prostration in essence is not just movement and rituals that exist in prayer. More than that, prostration is a form of surrender totally to humble themselves as low in the presence of the majesty of God Almighty. Prostration is a form of hope, pleasure and love of Substance of the Most Viewed, as well as diverse forms of gratitude for the favors of Allah, and anxiety from the Wrath of Allah is Mahadahsyat.

Prostration is evidence of faith a believer. "Those who truly believe in Our Signs are those who, when reminded of the verses, they immediately prostrated while praising his Lord and glorify they are not proud." (Surah al-Sajda [32]: 15).

In addition, the prostration is also a proof of God's blessings and mercy to His servant. "They are people who have been given favor by God, ie the prophets from Adam's descendants, of those whom We carried with Noah, a descendant of Abraham and Israel (Jacob), and of those whom We have We guided and chose. If recited the verses of Allah, Most Gracious to them, then they fall down in prostration and weep. "(Surah Maryam [19]: 58).

Prostration is also the most intimate moments between a servant to his Lord. "Verily, when the closest between a servant to his Lord is when he was prostrate." (Reported by Muslim). Because prostrate, a man received the title Ibadurrahman, servants of the Merciful God, and guaranteed entry to heaven. "And Ibadurrahman (servants of God, Most Merciful) are those who walk on earth with humility, and when the ignorant people say hello, they say the words (which contains) safety. And, they are people who through the night prostrating and standing to their Lord. "(Surat al-Furqan [25]: 63-64).

By elevating Allah prostrate all the companions of the Messenger and make them the most noble class in the history of mankind. "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And, those who were with him being hard on the unbelievers, but filial to their fellow man. You see them bowing and prostrating seek the gifts of God and His pleasure. The signs they look on their faces from the former bowed down. "(Sura al-Fath [48]: 39). And Allaah knows best.
