Question:
The listener, Al-Anoud Al-Harbi, from Al-Qassim, asks: What is the reality of the prostration of gratitude? Is it a recommended practice?
Answer:
The prostration of gratitude is recommended when a blessing occurs or a calamity is averted, when a new blessing arrives or a calamity is removed, as thanks to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for this blessing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated when some of the victories reached him, and also when the entry of some tribes into Islam reached him. His Companions and his Caliphs prostrated when the occurrence of these blessings or the avertment of these calamities reached them. Yes.
