Download PDF Sajdah (سجدة -prostration, its plural Sujūd – سُجود), is to bow down on earth in reverence and submission to Allah -azwj .

For example, Allah -azwj Says in Holy Quran: وَإِذْ قُلْنَا ادْخُلُوا هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَدًا وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ نَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ ۚ وَسَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ {2:58} And when We said: “Enter this town, so eat from it plentifully wherever you so desire to, ‘ وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا ’ and enter the gate in Sajdah, and be saying, ‘Hitta’.

We will Forgive you (for) your wrongs and would Increase (for) the good doers” [2:58] The righteous ones from the Bani Israel (the nation of Prophet Musa -as ), were Commanded by Allah -azwj to prostrate (perform Sajdah) on the earth at the door of ‘Hitta’ to show their submission and reverence to Allah -azwj .

There are several Ahadith which state that the earth is a purifier and the preferred place of Sajdah, e.g., مَجَالِسُ الصَّدُوقِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ جُعِلَتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ مَسْجِداً وَ طَهُوراً الْخَبَرَ.
