Assalamu alaikum everyone,
JazakAllah khair umm for that post, I always love to read about the benefits of salat, subhanAllah it is amazing they never seem to end.
I would like to add just one more benefit that I learned about. When you make salat as prescribed, you move every single joint in your body. The space between your joints is very sensitive because it can only get bloodflow when it is moved, the bloodflow keeps it clean and keeps it fed with nutrients. If you do not move a joint for a long time the space can deteriorate, accumulate bacteria, and eventually lead to such diseases as arthritis. SubhanAllah, there is not much chance of that if you are moving every last joint in your body 5 times a day every day for your entire life.
What a complete blessing Islam is in our lives, how generous Allah is to us, subhanAllah!
