Commentary
Sujjadan – (the persons who fell down prostrate), this
word is plural of saajid, which is
the subject (a doer), came out from sa-ja-da.
Sajdah means “to put one’s forehead
on the ground”.
It was a custom of
being thankful to someone during those days that one was required to fall down
prostrate before him. The aim from it was an announcement of his respect and
reverence. Even it had not been forbidden by the Religious Law, because object
of this prostration was NOT “to adore”. The people used to bow before someone
for showing their thankfulness; so much that their foreheads used to touch the
land.
The Religious Law of
the last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
rejected this practice and it was specified only for the worship of Allah
Almighty. Islam taught the mankind that the people should not fall down
prostrate before any other save Allah Almighty for thanking, but they should
choose other ways of respect among one another. Prostration has been specified
for adoration of Allah Almighty and being thankful to Him only, so that a
difference between the respect of The Real Benefactor (God Almighty) and others
may be made.

(peace be upon him) arrived near Egypt Egypt
