The scientific interpretation of the effects on the human brain when making intention to pray and when performing Prayer are as follows: -

Making Intention (Niyyat)

There are trillions of cells operating in the brain through which an electric current flows. Through this electric current thoughts keep passing to the conscious and subconscious, through the subconscious on a much larger scale. Just as there are trillions of cells in the brain; similarly there are trillions of compartments or sections in the brain. There is a section in which the electric current keeps taking photographs and distributes them. This photo is either very dark or very bright. There is another section that stores important matters. In these important matters are included those matters which the conscious disregards and which we can call spiritual abilities. When one makes the intention to pray whilst holding up both hands to the ears so that the thumbs are touching the ear lobes, a particular electric current using an extremely fine vein as its medium passes into the brain. After entering the brain it charges up the cells in the section of the brain that contains spiritual abilities. When these cells are charged they produce an outburst of light in the brain. This outburst of light affects all the nerves and causes them to be attentive towards that section of the brain containing spiritual abilities. Along with this there is a fast electric current transferred to the hand through the brain. After saying ALLAH-O-AKBAR and removing the hands from the ears the hands should be tied at the navel. Electric current using the extremely fine vein again as its medium gets stored in the navel, which is a minor generator. By tying the hands below the navel the sexual organs, which are very powerful members of the electric system, are provided with strength so that mankind may stay distinguished and exalted from amongst other species. Next, SUBHANAKA ALLAHUMMA is recited. As soon as these words are pronounced, the soul with all its energy gets absorbed in divine attributes, and the light of Allah's attributes penetrates the whole physical body. Every atom of the body becomes occupied in declaring Allah's divinity. It is the statement of Allah: -

‘If we had caused this Qur’an to descend upon a mountain, thou (Oh Muhammad) verily
Hardest seen it humbled, rent asunder by the fear of Allah’ (Surah Hashr, 21)

Ayat Muqadsa states that as soon as one starts performing Prayer those abilities that can store divine lights are produced, those abilities that even the mountains cannot bear.

After reciting SUBHANAKA ALLAHUMMA when one recites the Qur’an, he negates himself on the conscious level and the divine lights of the Qur’an are manifested in front of him. He declares that there is no doubt that Allah has made him capable and worthy of seeking the favours of the Divine Lights contained in the Qur’an.

Binding Hands at the Chest

After making intention, women bind their hands at the chest. This action provides the heart with health and warmth, and the glands that are responsible for the growth and nourishment of a child attain growth and development. The milk of women who establish Prayer affects the child too. Divine Lights are directly transferred to the child and become stored within him causing the child to develop a divine conscious. Children as such, develop the characteristics of obedience and satisfaction resulting in a habit to stay happy. The abilities to contemplate deeply and to possess intellect and a pure mind become enlightened within them.

Bowing Down (Rukuh)

As already stated, all the nerves are linked with the brain cells and electric current. They affect all the nerves. How many kinds of electric currents there are, what quantities they consist in, man cannot through any means count them; they exist in countless numbers. This electric current after coming out of the brain cells creates the senses of sight, taste, smell, hearing, speech and touch. Electric current travels from the root of the brain, passes through the spinal cord and enters the last joint of the back where it divides itself between all the nerves. This division of the electric current into nerves is what forms the senses.

When one bows down in Prayer, the formula that forms the senses is inverted. In other words, the senses now become directly under control of the internal side of the brain. After achieving focus the brain starts reflecting its waves upon a single point. When one stands up after bowing, the lights within the brain are once again divided amongst all the nerves, which causes one to entirely become Noor (divine light).

‘Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. The similitude of His Light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star. (The lamp is) Kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East or the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon Light, Allah guided unto His Light whom He will. And Allah specked to mankind in allegories, for Allah is knower of all things’ (Surah Noor, 35)

When bowing, one should keep the head and backbone parallel to each other. The eyes should stay focused on the nails of the big toes. The hands should be placed on the knees in a way that there is a stretch felt in the legs. One should recite SUBHANA RABBIYAL AZEEM either three, five or seven times during this time and then stand up very straight - straight as a soldier.

The knees absorb when one bows down and holds the knees with the hands, the electricity functioning within the palms and the fingers. This keeps the healthy fluid in the knees lubricated. This keeps one protected from pain in the knees and the joints.

Prostration (Sajdah) and Telepathy

Light travels at the speed of three hundred million meters per second (or 186282 miles per second) and travels around the Earth eight times in a second. When one in Prayer prostrates by placing the head onto the ground, the lights operating in one's brain form a link with the lights in the earth. This increases the speed of the mind to three hundred million meters per second. As well as this, the Earth directly absorbs the electricity that produces negative thoughts or ideas in one’s mind. This causes one to subconsciously become liberated from gravity and form a connection with the Creator of the universe. Spiritual energies become so heightened that the veil in front of the eyes is lifted and the unseen world is revealed to one.

When one in Prayer, taking in the lights from the atmosphere and air, joins the head, nose, knees, hands and the toes of the feet with the earth facing towards the Holy Kaba, or in other words, prostrates, the blood from the topmost part of the body (during prostration) enters the brain and supplies it with nourishment. After these chemical changes take place, the telepathic abilities within one are aroused.

One should close the eyes when prostrating and imagine that one is prostrating in front of Allah. While establishing this thought SUBHANA RABBIYAL AALA should be recited either three, five or seven times. When a person places his forehead on the ground for Allah's sake, the whole universe prostrates to him and the sun and the moon become subservient to him.

Sitting in Prayer (Jalsah)

When sitting in Prayer (Jalsah) the eyes should be kept focused upon the place of prostration. One should remain sitting patiently (at least for that length of time in which SUBHANA RABBIYAL AALA can be recited at least three times).

After prostrating twice, one should recite Tashahud taking care to recite the words separately and to concentrate on their meanings.

Salutation (Salam)

The words ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM WARAHMATULLA (Peace be upon you, and Allah's blessings) prove that alongside the one in Prayer, there are other invisible species present as well, who are also occupied in Prayer, to whom one is greeting peace.

When greeting peace (Saying Salam) one should imagine that angels and jinn’s were performing Prayer alongside one.

Method of Supplication (Dua)

Allah, the Creator of the universe states:

‘Ask from me, I will accept your request. No doubt, the ones who turn away from my worship will be disgraced and will enter Hell’

A few statements of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) regarding supplication:

‘Those of you who find the time to supplicate by the divine help of Allah will be opening the doors of blessings upon yourselves’

‘Except from supplication, nothing can bring a change in predestined fate. And nothing except good deeds can increase the life-span of one’

‘Supplication is the essence of worship, the weapon of the believer, the tower of strength of religion, the Light of the Earth and the Heavens.’

After Prayer when supplicating, one should contemplate that one is below the Throne of Allah in front of his Creator with open hands, and that Allah is so generous that even if one had to plea for a thousand things a day from Allah, He has the Divine Power to fulfill them. Until the heart is not satisfied, one should remain supplicating. Repetitive supplication brings softness to the heart, a softness that flows out through the eyes. The tears of His servant are very dear to Allah.
