"The study investigates the physiological interactions and effects of the Muslim prayer postures on the human body," Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi told the Third Kuala Lumpur International Conference on Biomedical Engineering, currently in session.
The study, conducted by the University of Malaya's Biomedical Engineering Department, concluded that postures during the prayers are beneficial to the heart, spine and the capacity of memory and attention.
Muslims pray five times a day, which each prayer made of a series of postures and movements, each set of which is called a rak‘ah.
The faithful starts in a standing posture then bows down with his/her hands placed on his/her knees keeping the back straight.
The worshipper then returns to the standing position before prostrating with forehead, nose, hands, knees, and bottoms of the toes touching the ground. The forearms and elbows should be raised off the floor.
