They revealed the benefits of praying five times a day through scientific research, and the results were quite surprising.
Dream - Research conducted by scientists from Binghamton University, New York, United States, reveals the benefits of performing the five daily prayers by Muslims. In the research report, they mentioned that performing the prayer movements correctly and regularly can heal back pain. "One way to think of the prayer movements is similar to yoga or physical therapy used to treat back pain," said Chair Mohammed Khasawneh, a professor from Binghamton University, as quoted by Dream from the website www.binghamton.edu.
The scientists at the university focused their research on the repetitive practice of prayer movements. The findings of this study have been published through a paper in the International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
According to Khasawneh, physical health is influenced by socio-economic factors, lifestyle, and religion. Furthermore, Chair Mohammed Khasawneh added that studies indicate a strong correlation between prayer and maintaining a healthy physical lifestyle. "Prayer can eliminate physical stress and anxiety, while there is also research indicating that prayer rituals can be considered as an effective clinical treatment for neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunction," he said.
The paper titled "An ergonomic study of body motions during Muslim prayer using digital human modelling" analyzes statistics based on movements generated by computer-driven digital models. They compared between digital models suffering from lower back pain and those who are healthy. In this study, the team of scientists found that the prostration movement can exert pressure on the joints and heal lower back pain. The maximum pressure that occurs during prayer is much lower than the safe limit standardized by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
"And movement can safely be considered as a clinical treatment for lower back pain, as it requires different movements of the human body regularly. Based on the level of pain, a combination of back and knee angles can be identified," said Khasawneh.
For those who have back pain, performing the correct movements can be difficult. According to Islamic tradition and practice, if an individual is unable to stand, they are allowed to pray while sitting or lying down. If they are able to stand, they must perform the correct movements. "Prostrating movements increase joint elasticity. It is recommended for people to prostrate for a longer duration," said Khasawneh.
According to the research team, performing incorrect prostrations can increase pain. The team also states that further studies are needed for individuals with physical disabilities, people with more extreme body types, and women - especially pregnant women - to find the best movements for these groups. For these groups, it is planned to further validate the findings with physical experiments using sensors and cameras, to track pressure on individual body parts during prayer rituals.
