By doing sujood, human can get a predicate, Ibadurrahman or His servant, and he will get assurance to enter the Heaven. It is as the word of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala in Qur’an Surah Al-Furqan verse 63 – 63, which reads :
“And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace, and those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer].”
People who have knowledge and base their knowledge with faith will always do sujood to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.
Knowledge delivers someone to the faith and remember how large is knowledge of Allah SubahanhuWa Ta’ala. Because of that, every Moslem should always do sujood to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.
