In the name of God and prayer and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. After,
Sleep is one of God’s infinite blessings on us, which relaxes the body and its members from fatigue and fatigue, to awaken the human after his sleep has regained vitality and activity.
The person should be careful about the healthy way of sleeping. He does not sleep badly, because he sleeps well. He is more efficient and effective. He may sleep for ten hours, and his body does not relax as much as he needs. The other five hours, be the opposite of the first person, all this because the first person slept an unhealthy sleep, the second was his sleep healthy useful.
It is not true that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade this method of sleep. His reaction was when he saw a man lying on his stomach saying, “This is a loathing that Allah hates.” , [Narrated by Abu Dawood and Ibn Majah and others, and the words of Abu Dawood, and corrected by Al Albani].
Sleeping on the abdomen is one of the worst ways to sleep because it has many disadvantages, and we often hear about studies and research that proved the harmful effects of sleeping on the abdomen, which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade. This is because the person in this way of sleep presses the chest of the thorax with the weight of the back, and in other cases it causes flexion in the vertebrae, which can lead to many damage and pain in the spine, in addition to that sleep on the abdomen leads to contact with the genitals For bedding leading to eth Rh instincts when human, and to the large number of erotic dreams he has.
Sleeping on the abdomen deprives the person of the healthy way of sleep and the benefits that he earns from it. There is no doubt that the healthy sleeping which is the most beneficial for the body and organs is the sleep that the Prophet used to sleep, as Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may God have mercy on him) The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) slept: He did not take sleep over the amount he needed, and he did not prevent himself from the amount he needed from him, and he did it to the fullest extent, so he slept if he invited him to sleep on his right side. Full body of food and drink, and not directly by the earth, and High maker of brushes, but his Djaa of Adam filling Lev, was lay down on the pillow, and put his hand under his cheek sometimes. »Zad al-Maad (679 – 680).
Many studies have indicated many benefits and benefits of sleep on the right side. It is a benefit that the heart in this position is lighter because the left lung is smaller and lighter than the right lung, and the liver is stable, , And achieves greater body comfort.
In conclusion, we ask God to make us followers of the guidance of the Prophet peace be upon him and his Sunnah, and thank God the Lord of the Worlds.
